NNG_HTTP_RES_GET_REASON(3http)

📦 version 1.11, in alpine 3.24

💅 nng_http_res_get_reason — return HTTP response reason

okay bestie, welcome to the NNG Reference Manual, section 3http 🦋 — today's main character is nng_http_res_get_reason, and honestly? she's lowkey the easiest function in the whole HTTP family. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, just include these two things first, mwah 🎀

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

const char *nng_http_res_get_reason(nng_http_res *res);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the way that nng_http_res_get_reason() works is it hands you back a string — like, an actual string — that represents the reason associated with the response res 💖.

and what even is a reason, you ask? it's the human-readable explanation of the status code that you would get from nng_http_res_get_status(). that's a mouthful but it's literally just the cute little text next to the number, y'know? the vibe check that comes with the code 🫶 iykyk.

👑 RETURN VALUES 👑

Reason as a string. that's it. that's the whole section. slay 💅

💀 ERRORS 💀

None.

not me having nothing to report 😭 like literally zero errors, she simply cannot fail. iconic behaviour fr fr ✨
