✨ TSHTTPTXNNEXTHOPADDRGET ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🫶 you're in the 3ts section of the Apache Traffic Server manual, and today's main character is a lil function called TSHttpTxnNextHopAddrGet. it's giving "small but mighty", it's giving "where is this request even going", and honestly? obsessed. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

TSHttpTxnNextHopAddrGet — the TSHttpTxnNextHopAddrGet API function, no cap, that's literally the whole name 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ts/ts.h>

sockaddr const *TSHttpTxnNextHopAddrGet(TSHttpTxn txnp)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like, you hand it a transaction (txnp) and it hands you back the next hop address for that transaction. that's it, that's the vibe ✨ it's a getter, it gets, it slays.

⚠️ NOTE, and this one's important bestie, do not skip it: that pointer is only valid for the current callback. like, only. right now. this callback. once you leave, it's gone 💀 if you're a client that needs to hold onto that value across callbacks, you have to keep your own storage. copy it out, bestie. the function will not do it for you. 🙈
