== NAME

nng_http_conn_write_res - write HTTP response

== SYNOPSIS

[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
#include <nng/supplemental/http/http.h>

void nng_http_conn_write_res(nng_http_conn *conn, nng_http_res *res,
    nng_aio *aio);
----

== DESCRIPTION

The `nng_http_conn_write_res()` function starts an asynchronous write of
the HTTP response _res_ to the connection _conn_.
The entire response is sent,
including headers, and if present, the response body data.
(The response body can be set with
`<<nng_http_res_set_data.3http#,nng_http_res_set_data()>>` or
`<<nng_http_res_copy_data.3http#,nng_http_res_copy_data()>>`.)

This function returns immediately, with no return value.
Completion of the operation is signaled via the _aio_, and the final result
may be obtained via `<<nng_aio_result.3#,nng_aio_result()>>`.
That result will either be zero or an error code.

=== Persistent Connections

By default, for `HTTP/1.1` connections, the connection is kept open, and
will be reused to receive new requests.

If however the _res_ contains a header of `Connection:` with a value
of `Close` (case-insensitive) or the response corresponds to `HTTP/1.0`,
then the connection is immediately after sending the response.

== RETURN VALUES

None.

== ERRORS

[horizontal]
`NNG_ECANCELED`:: The operation was canceled.
`NNG_ECLOSED`:: The connection was closed.
`NNG_ECONNRESET`:: The peer closed the connection.
`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient free memory to perform the operation.
`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: HTTP operations are not supported.
`NNG_ETIMEDOUT`:: Timeout waiting for data from the connection.
