NNG_HTTP_REQ_GET_DATA(3http)

📦 version 1.11, in alpine 3.24

okay bestie, welcome to the NNG_HTTP_REQ_GET_DATA(3http) page from the NNG Reference Manual — we’re getting an HTTP request body and we’re gonna slay it 💖✨

💖 NAME 💖

nng_http_req_get_data — get HTTP request body 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <nng/nng.h>
#include <nng/supplemental/http/http.h>

void nng_http_req_get_data(nng_http_req *req, void **bodyp, size_t *sizep);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so nng_http_req_get_data() gets the HTTP body associated with the request req, storing a pointer to the buffer at the location referenced by bodyp, and the length of the associated buffer at the location referenced by sizep. literally that’s the whole vibe 🫶

📝 Note: the buffer returned is owned by req, and will automatically freed when the request is freed. so yeah, do not free it yourself, bestie — the request has main character energy and handles its own cleanup 💅

🎀 RETURN VALUES 🎀

None. like, none none — nothing comes back 😌

🌸 ERRORS 🌸

None. no error codes, no drama, no cap 🌈
