Member Function Documentation

startWtSession()

void Wt::Http::WtClient::startWtSession ( const std::string &  host, const std::string &  port, const std::string &  path, const std::string &  query = std::string(), WFlags< ClientOption >  flags = ClientOption::SupportsAjax  )

Starts a Wt session.

A Wt application uses a bootstrap procedure during which it collects information on user agent capabilities (unless the progressive bootstrap method is enabled). Therefore a session is not spawned after the first request, but only after these capabilities have been collected by a second request.

This function starts a session on the specific host, port, path, and optional query. These correspond to the different parts of a url:

http://host:port/path?query.
