Boost C++ Libraries

...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world. — Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards

This version of Boost is under active development. You are currently in the master branch. The current version is 1.91.0.

http::error

http::error

Error codes returned from HTTP algorithms and operations.

Synopsis

Defined in header <boost/beast/http/error.hpp>

enum error

Values

Name	Description
`end_of_stream`	The end of the stream was reached. This error is returned when attempting to read HTTP data, and the stream returns the error `net::error::eof` before any octets corresponding to a new HTTP message have been received.
`partial_message`	The incoming message is incomplete. This happens when the end of stream is reached during parsing and some octets have been received, but not the entire message.
`need_more`	Additional buffers are required. This error is returned during parsing when additional octets are needed. The caller should append more data to the existing buffer and retry the parse operation.
`unexpected_body`	An unexpected body was encountered during parsing. This error is returned when attempting to parse body octets into a message container which has the `empty_body` body type. See Also `empty_body`
`need_buffer`	Additional buffers are required. This error is returned under the following conditions: During serialization when using `buffer_body`. The caller should update the body to point to a new buffer or indicate that there are no more octets in the body. During parsing when using `buffer_body`. The caller should update the body to point to a new storage area to receive additional body octets.
`end_of_chunk`	The end of a chunk was reached.
`buffer_overflow`	Buffer maximum exceeded. This error is returned when reading HTTP content into a dynamic buffer, and the operation would exceed the maximum size of the buffer.
`header_limit`	Header limit exceeded. The parser detected an incoming message header which exceeded a configured limit.
`body_limit`	Body limit exceeded. The parser detected an incoming message body which exceeded a configured limit.
`bad_alloc`	A memory allocation failed. When `basic_fields` throws std::bad_alloc, it is converted into this error by `parser`.
`bad_line_ending`	The line ending was malformed.
`bad_method`	The method is invalid.
`bad_target`	The request-target is invalid.
`bad_version`	The HTTP-version is invalid.
`bad_status`	The status-code is invalid.
`bad_reason`	The reason-phrase is invalid.
`bad_field`	The field name is invalid.
`bad_value`	The field value is invalid.
`bad_content_length`	The Content-Length is invalid.
`bad_transfer_encoding`	The Transfer-Encoding is invalid.
`bad_chunk`	The chunk syntax is invalid.
`bad_chunk_extension`	The chunk extension is invalid.
`bad_obs_fold`	An obs-fold exceeded an internal limit.
`multiple_content_length`	The response contains multiple and conflicting Content-Length.
`stale_parser`	The parser is stale. This happens when attempting to re-use a parser that has already completed parsing a message. Programs must construct a new parser for each message. This can be easily done by storing the parser in an boost or std::optional container.
`short_read`	The message body is shorter than expected. This error is returned by `file_body` when an unexpected unexpected end-of-file condition is encountered while trying to read from the file.
`header_field_name_too_large`	Header field name exceeds `basic_fields::max_name_size`.
`header_field_value_too_large`	Header field value exceeds `basic_fields::max_value_size`.
