=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The function OCSP_sendreq_new() returns an B<OCSP_CTX> structure using the
-responder B<io>, the URL path B<path>, the OCSP request B<req> and with a
-response header maximum line length of B<maxline>. If B<maxline> is zero a
-default value of 4k is used. The OCSP request B<req> may be set to B<NULL>
-and provided later if required.
-
-OCSP_sendreq_nbio() performs I/O on the OCSP request context B<rctx>.
-When the operation is complete it returns the response in B<*presp>.
-
-OCSP_REQ_CTX_free() frees up the OCSP context B<rctx>.
+These functions perform an OCSP request / response transfer over HTTP, using
+the HTTP request functions described in L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX(3)>.
-OCSP_set_max_response_length() sets the maximum response length
-for B<rctx> to B<len>. If the response exceeds this length an error occurs.
-If not set a default value of 100k is used.
+The function OCSP_sendreq_new() builds a complete B<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX>
+structure using connection B<BIO> I<io>, the URL path I<path>, the OCSP
+request I<req> and with a response header maximum line length of I<maxline>.
+If I<maxline> is zero a default value of 4k is used. The OCSP request I<req>
+may be set to NULL and provided later with L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_i2d(3)> if
+required.
-OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header() adds header B<name> with value B<value> to the
-context B<rctx>. It can be called more than once to add multiple headers.
-It B<MUST> be called before any calls to OCSP_sendreq_nbio(). The B<req>
-parameter in the initial to OCSP_sendreq_new() call MUST be set to B<NULL> if
-additional headers are set.
+The I<io> and I<path> arguments to OCSP_sendreq_new() correspond to the
+components of the URL.
+For example if the responder URL is C<http://example.com/ocspreq> the BIO
+I<io> should be connected to host C<example.com> on port 80 and I<path>
+should be set to C</ocspreq>.
-OCSP_sendreq_bio() performs an OCSP request using the responder B<io>, the URL
-path B<path>, the OCSP request B<req> and with a response header maximum line
-length 4k. It waits indefinitely on a response.
+OCSP_sendreq_nbio() performs I/O on the OCSP request context I<rctx>.
+When the operation is complete it assigns the response, a pointer to a
+B<OCSP_RESPONSE> structure, in I<*presp>.
-OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d() sets the request context B<rctx> to have the request
-B<req>, which has the ASN.1 type B<it>.
-The B<content_type>, if not NULL, will be included in the HTTP request.
-The function should be called after all other headers have already been added.
+OCSP_sendreq_bio() is the same as a call to OCSP_sendreq_new() followed by
+OCSP_sendreq_nbio() and then OCSP_REQ_CTX_free() in a single call, with a
+response header maximum line length 4k. It waits indefinitely on a response.
+It does not support setting a timeout or adding headers and is retained
+for compatibility; use OCSP_sendreq_nbio() instead.
OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req(rctx, req) is equivalent to the following:
- OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d(rctx, "application/ocsp-request",
- ASN1_ITEM_rptr(OCSP_REQUEST), (ASN1_VALUE *)req)
+ OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_i2d(rctx, "application/ocsp-request",
+ ASN1_ITEM_rptr(OCSP_REQUEST), (ASN1_VALUE *)req)
+
+The other deprecated type and functions have been superseded by the
+following equivalents:
+B<OCSP_REQ_CTX> by L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX(3)>,
+OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d() by L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_i2d(3)>,
+OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header() by L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(3)>,
+OCSP_REQ_CTX_free() by L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_free(3)>, and
+OCSP_set_max_response_length() by
+L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_max_response_length(3)>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
-OCSP_sendreq_new() returns a valid B<OCSP_REQ_CTX> structure or B<NULL>
+OCSP_sendreq_new() returns a valid B<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX> structure or NULL
if an error occurred.
-OCSP_sendreq_nbio(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d(),
-and OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req()
-return B<1> for success and B<0> for failure.
+OCSP_sendreq_nbio(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d(), and OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req()
+return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
OCSP_sendreq_bio() returns the B<OCSP_RESPONSE> structure sent by the
-responder or B<NULL> if an error occurred.
-
-OCSP_REQ_CTX_free() and OCSP_set_max_response_length()
-do not return values.
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-These functions only perform a minimal HTTP query to a responder. If an
-application wishes to support more advanced features it should use an
-alternative more complete HTTP library.
-
-Currently only HTTP POST queries to responders are supported.
-
-The arguments to OCSP_sendreq_new() correspond to the components of the URL.
-For example if the responder URL is B<http://ocsp.com/ocspreq> the BIO
-B<io> should be connected to host B<ocsp.com> on port 80 and B<path>
-should be set to B<"/ocspreq">
-
-The headers added with OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header() are of the form
-"B<name>: B<value>" or just "B<name>" if B<value> is B<NULL>. So to add
-a Host header for B<ocsp.com> you would call:
-
- OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(ctx, "Host", "ocsp.com");
-
-OCSP_sendreq_bio() does not support timeout nor setting extra headers.
-It is retained for compatibility.
-Better use B<OCSP_sendreq_nbio()> instead.

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX> is a context structure for an HTTP request, used to
+collect all the necessary data to perform that request.
+
+This file documents low-level HTTP functions rarely used directly. High-level
+HTTP client functions like L<OSSL_HTTP_get(3)> and L<OSSL_HTTP_transfer(3)>
+should be preferred.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new() allocates a new HTTP request context structure, which
+gets populated with the B<BIO> to send the request to (I<wbio>), the B<BIO> to
+read the response from (I<rbio>, which may be the same as I<wbio>), the
+request method (I<method_GET>, which may be 1 to indicate that the C<GET>
+method is to be used, or 0 to indicate that the C<POST> method is to be used),
+the maximum expected response header length (I<max_resp_len>, where any zero
+or less indicates the default of 4KiB), a response timeout measure in seconds
+(I<timeout>, where 0 indicates no timeout, i.e., waiting indefinitely), the
+expected MIME content type of the response (I<expected_content_type>, which
+may be NULL for no expectation), and a flag indicating that the response is
+expected to be a DER encoded ASN.1 structure (I<expect_asn1>).
+The allocated context structure is also populated with an internal allocated
+memory B<BIO>, which collects the HTTP request and additional headers as text.
+The returned context should only be used for a single HTTP request/response.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_free() frees up the HTTP request context I<rctx>.
+The I<wbio> and I<rbio> are not free'd and it is up to the application
+to do so.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_header() adds an HTTP request line to the request context.
+The request command itself becomes C<GET> or C<POST> depending on the value
+of I<method_GET> in the OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new() call. I<server> and I<port>
+may be set to indicate a proxy server and port that the request should go
+through, otherwise they should be left NULL. I<path> is the HTTP request path;
+if left NULL, C</> is used.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header() adds header I<name> with value I<value> to the
+context I<rctx>. It can be called more than once to add multiple headers.
+For example, to add a C<Host> header for C<example.com> you would call:
+
+ OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(ctx, "Host", "example.com");
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_i2d() finalizes the HTTP request context by adding the DER
+encoding of I<req>, using the ASN.1 template I<it> to do the encoding. The
+HTTP header C<Content-Length> is automatically filled out, and if
+I<content_type> isn't NULL, the HTTP header C<Content-Type> is also added with
+its content as value. All of this ends up in the internal memory B<BIO>.
+This requires that the request type be C<POST>, i.e. that I<method_GET> is 0
+in the OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new() call.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_nbio() attempts the exchange of request and response via HTTP,
+using the I<rbio> and I<wbio> that were given in the OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new()
+call. When successful, the contents of the internal memory B<BIO> is replaced
+with the contents of the HTTP response, without the response headers.
+It may need to be called again if its result is -1, which indicates
+L<BIO_should_retry(3)>. In such a case it is advisable to sleep a little in
+between to prevent a busy loop.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_sendreq_d2i() calls OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_nbio(), possibly
+several times until a timeout is reached, and DER decodes the received
+response using the ASN.1 template I<it>.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_max_response_length() sets the maximum response length
+for I<rctx> to I<len>. If the response exceeds this length an error occurs.
+If not set a default value of 100k is used.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_get0_mem_bio() returns the internal memory B<BIO>. This can
+be used to affect the HTTP request text. I<Use with caution!>
+
+=head1 WARNINGS
+
+The server's response may be unexpected if the hostname that was used to
+create the I<wbio>, any C<Host> header, and the host specified in the
+request URL do not match.
+
+Many of these functions must be called in a certain order.
+
+First, the HTTP request context must be allocated:
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new().
+
+Then, the HTTP request must be prepared with request data:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item 1.
+
+Calling OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_header(). This must be done exactly once.
+
+=item 2.
+
+Adding extra headers with OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(). This is optional.
+
+=item 3.
+
+Add C<POST> data with OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_i2d(). This may only be done if
+I<method_GET> was 0 in the OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new() call, and must be done
+exactly once in that case.
+
+=back
+
+When the request context is fully prepared, the HTTP exchange may be performed
+with OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_nbio() or OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_sendreq_d2i().
+
+Furthermore, all calls of OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_header() and
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header() must be done before any call to
+int OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_nbio() or OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_sendreq_d2i().
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new() returns a pointer to a B<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX>, or NULL
+on error.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_free() and OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_max_response_length()
+do not return values.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_header(), OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(),
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_i2d() and OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_nbio return 1 for success and 0
+for failure.
+
+OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_sendreq_d2i() returns a pointer to an B<ASN1_VALUE> for
+success and NULL for failure.
