NAME

       ne_get_error, ne_set_error - error handling for HTTP sessions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ne_session.h>

       const char *ne_get_error(ne_sesssion *session);

       void ne_set_error(ne_sesssion *session, const char *format, ...);

DESCRIPTION

       The session error string is used to store any human-readable error information associated
       with any errors which occur whilst using the HTTP session.

       The ne_get_error function returns the current session error string. This string persists
       only until it is changed by a subsequent operation on the session. If localisation was
       enabled at build time, and if necessary enabled at run-time if necessary using
       ne_i18n_init, the returned string may have been translated into the user's current locale.

       The ne_set_error function can be used to set a new session error string, using a
       printf-style format string interface.

RETURN VALUE

       ne_set_error returns a constant NUL-terminated string. In the default English locale, the
       returned string will not have a terminating “.”  period character.

EXAMPLES

       Retrieve the current error string:

           ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
           ...
           printf("Error was: %s\n", ne_get_error(sess));

       Set a new error string:

           ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
           ...
           ne_set_error(sess, "Response missing header %s", "somestring");
