Description

soup-method.h contains a number of defines for standard HTTP and WebDAV headers. You do not need to use these defines; you can pass arbitrary strings to soup_message_new() if you prefer.

The thing that these defines are useful for is performing quick comparisons against SoupMessage's method field; because that field always contains an interned string, and these macros return interned strings, you can compare method directly against these macros rather than needing to use strcmp(). This is most useful in SoupServer handlers. Eg:

1
2
3
4

if (msg->method != SOUP_METHOD_GET && msg->method != SOUP_METHOD_HEAD) {
    soup_message_set_status (msg, SOUP_METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED);
    return;
}
