Notes / Warnings

  • This function MUST be called after the µCHTTP-client Suite Initialization has been completed.

  • If the µC/HTTP-client Asynchronous Task is enabled (HTTPc_CFG_MODE_ASYNC_TASK_EN macro in http-c_cfg.h), the HTTPc Connection Object will be added to the connection open's queue.  

  • If the HTTPc_FLAG_CONN_NO_BLOCK flag is set, the function will be in non-blocking mode. Therefore, the function could return before the connection opening is finished. For the application to be notified when the opening process completes, the callback function must have been setup before with the parameter type HTTPc_PARAM_TYPE_CONN_CONNECT_CALLBACK.
