TSHttpConnect¶
Description¶
Allows the plugin to initiate an HTTP connection.
The TSVConn
the plugin receives as the result of successful
operates identically to one created through TSNetConnect
.
Aside from allowing the plugin to set the client ip and port for
logging, the functionality of TSHttpConnect()
is identical to
connecting to localhost on the proxy port with TSNetConnect()
.
TSHttpConnect()
is more efficient than TSNetConnect()
to localhost since it avoids the overhead of passing the data through
the operating system.
