🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

GASS Server Implementation.

💫 Implementing Servers

okay so bestie, here's the tea ☕ — there's another whole mode of using the GASS Transfer API, and it's not the client one. This is where you implement data servers. The way that the client side and the server side of the GASS Transfer API differ? It's literally just how requests get generated. That's it. That's the difference. 💀

So, to implement a server, you'd call globus_gass_transfer_create_listener() to make a brand-new server port 🎀 — and on that port, one specific protocol is gonna be the one used to ask for file transfer operations. Want to know the URL your listener is bound to? Just call globus_gass_transfer_listener_get_base_url(). Easy. Iconic. No cap. ✨

Once the listener exists, you can call globus_gass_transfer_register_listen() to just... wait 🦋 — wait for clients to connect to it. And once the server has caught a client trying to connect, you can call globus_gass_transfer_register_accept() to accept that connection from the client and parse the request. Serving. 👑

Now — in the callback that's associated with globus_gass_transfer_register_accept(), the server gets to decide how to process the request. It's giving main character energy, fr fr. The user may choose to:

  • authorize the request, by calling globus_gass_transfer_authorize() 💖
  • refer it to another URL or URLs, by calling globus_gass_transfer_refer() 🌟
  • or deny the client access to the URL, by calling globus_gass_transfer_deny() 🙈

🧚 Typedef Documentation 🧚

💅 typedef void(* globus_gass_transfer_close_callback_t) (void *callback_arg, globus_gass_transfer_listener_t listener)

Parameters

  • callback_arg
  • listener

✨ FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION ✨

💅 globus_gass_transfer_authorize

int globus_gass_transfer_authorize (globus_gass_transfer_request_t request,
    globus_size_t total_length)

Authorize a request. okay so basically this is you saying "yes bestie, I'll handle it" 💖

Calling this function causes the request to be authorized for processing. It should be called in response to a request accept callback, right when the server wants to agree to process this request. Once you've called it, the server implementation should call globus_gass_transfer_send_bytes() or globus_gass_transfer_receive_bytes() to send or receive the data associated with the URL. That's the whole vibe — authorize, then move the bytes. 🦋

Parameters

  • request — a new request handle, passed to the server in an accept callback.
  • total_length — for a "get" request, the total_length of the file to be retrieved, if known. This value may be GLOBUS_GASS_LENGTH_UNKNOWN if the protocol supports transferring arbitrarily-sized files.

Return values

  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE — the request handle was not valid, not created by calling globus_gass_transfer_register_accept(), or has already been denied or authorized.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED — the protocol module does not support authorizing requests.

🎀 globus_gass_transfer_close_listener

int globus_gass_transfer_close_listener (globus_gass_transfer_listener_t
    listener, globus_gass_transfer_close_callback_t callback, void *
    user_arg)

Close a GASS listener. time to say bye bye to that port 👋✨

This function calls the protocol specific function needed to close a GASS server listener port. Heads up tho: callbacks for any outstanding accepts will be called before the close callback is invoked. So no, you don't get to skip the queue. 🙈

Parameters

  • listener — listener handle created by calling globus_gass_transfer_create_listener().
  • callback — function to call once the listener handle has been closed.
  • user_arg — argument to be passed to the callback function.

Return values

  • GLOBUS_SUCCESS — the close operation was successfully registered on the listener.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE — the listener handle was invalid.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED — the listener handle was not properly initialized.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_DONE — a close has already been registered on the listener.

🌸 globus_gass_transfer_create_listener

int globus_gass_transfer_create_listener (globus_gass_transfer_listener_t *
    listener, globus_gass_transfer_listenerattr_t * attr, char * scheme)

Create a new protocol-specific listener socket for a GASS server. it's giving "let me open up shop" energy 🏪💅

This function creates a new socket to listen for client connections as a GASS server. The listener handle pointer is initialized to contain a new handle which can be used in subsequent server operations.

Once you've called this, a user may call the globus_gass_transfer_register_listen() or globus_gass_transfer_close_listener() functions with this listener handle. That's your whole starter pack right there. 🫶

Parameters

  • listener — a new listener handle to initialize.
  • attr — protocol-specific attributes for the new listener.
  • scheme — the protocol scheme to implement for the listener.

Return values

  • GLOBUS_SUCCESS — the listener was successfully created.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NULL_POINTER — the listener or scheme parameter was NULL
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED — the scheme is not supported by any protocol module.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_MALLOC_FAILED — data structures associated with the transfer could not be allocated.

💀 globus_gass_transfer_deny

int globus_gass_transfer_deny (globus_gass_transfer_request_t request, int
    reason, char * message)

Deny a request. the polite way to say "no thank you" 😭✋

This function causes the request to be denied for further processing. It should be called in response to a request accept callback when the server wants to refuse processing this request for the client. After calling this function, the server implementation need do nothing further with the request handle. You're free. Go live your life. 🦋

Parameters

  • request — a new request handle, passed to the server in an accept callback.
  • reason — a protocol-specific reason code.
  • message — an informational message to be sent to the client.

Return values

  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE — the request handle was not valid, not created by calling globus_gass_transfer_register_accept(), or has already been denied or authorized.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED — the protocol module does not support denying requests.

🦋 globus_gass_transfer_listener_get_base_url

char * globus_gass_transfer_listener_get_base_url
    (globus_gass_transfer_listener_t listener)

Get the base URL of a listener. where exactly are you listening, bestie? 👀

This function queries a listener handle for the base URL which the server is listening on. For most protocols, this contains the protocol scheme, host, and port that the listener has registered itself on.

Parameters

  • listener — the listener handle to query.

Returns

This function returns a pointer to a string containing the base URL. This string must not be freed or modified by the caller. It may not be referred to after the function globus_gass_transfer_listener_close() has been called.

⚠️ fr fr do not touch that string. No free(), no editing, and once globus_gass_transfer_listener_close() runs, that pointer is gone. Treat it like it expires. 💀

🌈 globus_gass_transfer_listener_get_user_pointer

void * globus_gass_transfer_listener_get_user_pointer
    (globus_gass_transfer_listener_t listener)

Get the user pointer associated with a listener. peeking at your lil stash 🍓

This function will query the listener's user_pointer field and return its value.

Parameters

  • listener — the listener handle.

Returns

If the listener handle is invalid or the user_pointer's value has not been set, then GLOBUS_NULL will be returned. Otherwise, the value of the user pointer will be returned.

globus_gass_transfer_listener_set_user_pointer()

⭐ globus_gass_transfer_listener_set_user_pointer

int globus_gass_transfer_listener_set_user_pointer
    (globus_gass_transfer_listener_t listener, void * user_pointer)

Set the user pointer associated with a listener. tucking your lil note into the handle's pocket 💜

This function will set the listener's user_pointer field. The pointer may be used to associate any pointer-sized data with a listener handle. Anything pointer-sized, no cap. ✨

Parameters

  • listener — the listener handle.
  • user_pointer — the value of the user pointer.

Return values

  • GLOBUS_SUCCESS — the user pointer was successfully set.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE — the listener handle was invalid.

🧚 globus_gass_transfer_refer

int globus_gass_transfer_refer (globus_gass_transfer_request_t request, char
    ** urls, globus_size_t num_urls)

Refer a request. "not me, go ask her" 💅➡️

This function causes the request to be referred to another URL or list of URLs. It should be called in response to a request accept callback when the server wants to refer the client to another server or servers to process the request. Networking is just group chat, honestly. 🎀

Parameters

  • request — a new request handle, passed to the server in an accept callback.
  • urls — an array of strings, each being a URL pointing to sources of the same data as the original URL.
  • num_urls — the length of the urls array.

Return values

  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE — the request handle was not valid, not created by calling globus_gass_transfer_register_accept(), or has already been denied or authorized.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED — the protocol module does not support referrals.

👑 globus_gass_transfer_register_accept

int globus_gass_transfer_register_accept (globus_gass_transfer_request_t *
    request, globus_gass_transfer_requestattr_t * attr,
    globus_gass_transfer_listener_t listener,
    globus_gass_transfer_callback_t callback, void * user_arg)

Accept new client connections. the main character moment of the whole server 💖🔥

This function causes the listener handle to accept a new connection on the listener and parse the file request. Once the file request has been parsed, the specified callback function will be called. The server implementation must then either authorize, deny, or refer this request. Pick one, bestie — no ghosting. 👻

Parameters

  • attr — request attributes.
  • listener — the listener handle to register for the new request.
  • callback — function to call when the protocol module has parsed the file request.
  • user_arg — argument to be passed to the callback function.

Return values

  • GLOBUS_SUCCESS — the listen callback has been registered with the protocol module.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE — an invalid listener handle was passed to this function.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED — an uninitialized listener handle was passed to this function.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR — the request could not be initialized due to some internal resource depletion.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_NOT_REGISTERED. — the globus_gass_transfer_register_listen() function has not yet been called.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_ALREADY_REGISTERED. — the listener is already processing a new request.
  • GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_DONE — the listener has been registered for closing.
