Description

GUPnPContext wraps the networking bits that are used by the various GUPnP classes. It automatically starts a web server on demand.

For debugging, it is possible to see the messages being sent and received by exporting GUPNP_DEBUG.

typedef struct _GUPnPContext GUPnPContext;

This struct contains private data only, and should be accessed using the functions below.

gupnp_context_new ()

Create a new GUPnPContext with the specified main_context, host_ip and port.

main_context :

 A GMainContext, or NULL to use the default one

host_ip :

 The local host's IP address, or NULL to use the IP address of the first non-loopback network interface.

port :

 Port to run on, or 0 if you don't care what port is used.

error :

 A location to store a GError, or NULL

Returns :

 A new GUPnPContext object, or NULL on an error

gupnp_context_get_host_ip ()

const char*         gupnp_context_get_host_ip           (GUPnPContext *context);

Get the IP address we advertise ourselves as using.

context :

 A GUPnPContext

Returns :

 The IP address. This string should not be freed.

gupnp_context_get_port ()

guint               gupnp_context_get_port              (GUPnPContext *context);

Get the port that the SOAP server is running on.

context :

 A GUPnPContext

Returns :

 The port the SOAP server is running on.

gupnp_context_get_server ()

SoupServer*         gupnp_context_get_server            (GUPnPContext *context);

Get the SoupServer HTTP server that GUPnP is using.

context :

 A GUPnPContext

Returns :

 The SoupServer used by GUPnP. Do not unref this when finished.

gupnp_context_get_session ()

SoupSession*        gupnp_context_get_session           (GUPnPContext *context);

Get the SoupSession object that GUPnP is using.

context :

 A GUPnPContext

Returns :

 The SoupSession used by GUPnP. Do not unref this when finished.

gupnp_context_set_subscription_timeout ()

void                gupnp_context_set_subscription_timeout
                                                        (GUPnPContext *context,
                                                         guint timeout);

Sets the event subscription timeout to timeout. Use 0 if you don't want subscriptions to time out. Note that any client side subscriptions will automatically be renewed.

context :

 A GUPnPContext

timeout :

 Event subscription timeout in seconds

gupnp_context_get_subscription_timeout ()

guint               gupnp_context_get_subscription_timeout

Get the event subscription timeout (in seconds), or 0 meaning there is no timeout.

context :

 A GUPnPContext

Returns :

 The event subscription timeout in seconds.

gupnp_context_host_path ()

void                gupnp_context_host_path             (GUPnPContext *context,
