# nng_http_conn_write_res(3http) Manual Page

## NAME

nng_http_conn_write_res - write HTTP response

## SYNOPSIS

    #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()` or `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()`. 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.

| Consider using the `nng_http_client_transact()` or `nng_http_conn_transact()` functions, which provide a simpler interface for performing a complete HTTP client transaction.

## RETURN VALUES

None.

## ERRORS

`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.
