.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
User\-Agent
request header is used to identify the software which generated the request for statistical or debugging purposes\&. neon does not send a
User\-Agent
header unless a call is made to the
\fBne_set_useragent\fR\&.
\fBne_set_useragent\fR
must be passed a product string conforming to RFC2616\'s product token grammar; of the form
"Product/Version"\&.
.PP
When neon reads from a socket, by default the read operation will time out after 60 seconds, and the request will fail giving an
\fBNE_TIMEOUT\fR
error\&. To configure this timeout interval, call
\fBne_set_read_timeout\fR
giving the desired number of seconds as the
\fItimeout\fR
parameter\&.
.PP
When a connection is being established to a server, normally only the system\'s TCP timeout handling will apply\&. To configure a specific (and probably shorter) timeout, the
\fBne_set_connect_timeout\fR
can be used, giving the desired number of seconds as the
\fItimeout\fR
parameter\&. If
0
is passed, then the default behaviour of using the system TCP timeout will be used\&.
.PP
The scheme used to initially create the session will be returned by
\fBne_get_scheme\fR\&.
.PP
The hostport pair with which the session is associated will be returned by the
\fBne_get_server_hostport\fR; for example
www\&.example\&.com:8080\&. Note that the
:port
will be omitted if the default port for the scheme is used\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Set a user\-agent string:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(\&.\&.\&.);
ne_set_useragent(sess, "MyApplication/2\&.1");
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Set a 30 second read timeout:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(\&.\&.\&.);
ne_set_read_timeout(sess, 30);
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
