NE_REDIRECT_REGISTER(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, this page is all about ne_redirect_register and ne_redirect_location — aka HTTP request redirect handling, from the neon API reference, page NE_REDIRECT_REGISTER(3). 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ne_redirect.h>

void ne_redirect_register(ne_session *sess);

const ne_uri *ne_redirect_location(ne_session *sess);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So ne_redirect_register does exactly what it says on the tin: it registers redirect handling for the session. ✨ If a valid redirect response gets processed — and yes, that means one with a status code 3xx — the request will fail with the NE_REDIRECT error code. Not a vibe, but very intentional. 😭 Then you can grab the destination of the redirect using ne_redirect_location.

And if a redirect was processed, ne_redirect_location returns the destination URI of the redirect. Slay. 🫶

---

🌸 RETURN VALUE 🌸

ne_redirect_location returns NULL if:

• no request has yet been processed,
• the current request was not a redirect, or
• the destination of the redirect could not be parsed or resolved.

Otherwise? It returns a pointer to an ne_uri object. That pointer stays valid until another request is created for the session. periodt. 💖
