# nng_http_conn_read(3http) Manual Page

## NAME

nng_http_conn_read - read from HTTP connection

## SYNOPSIS

    #include <nng/nng.h>
    #include <nng/supplemental/http/http.h>

    void nng_http_conn_read(nng_http_conn *conn, nng_aio *aio);

## DESCRIPTION

The `nng_http_conn_read()` function starts an asynchronous read from the HTTP connection conn, into the scatter/gather vector located in the asynchronous I/O structure aio.

| The `nng_aio_set_iov()` function must have been called first, to set the scatter/gather vector for aio.

This function returns immediately, with no return value. Completion of the operation is signaled via the aio, and the final result may be obtained via `nng_aio_result()`. That result will either be zero or an error code.

The I/O operation completes as soon as at least one byte has been read, or an error has occurred. Therefore, the number of bytes read may be less than requested. The actual number of bytes read can be determined with `nng_aio_count()`.

| This function is intended to facilitate uses cases that involve changing the protocol from HTTP, such as WebSocket. Most applications will never need to use this function.

## RETURN VALUES

None.

## ERRORS

`NNG_ECANCELED` | The operation was canceled.
`NNG_ECLOSED` | The connection was closed.
`NNG_ECONNRESET` | The peer closed the connection.
`NNG_EINVAL` | The aio does not contain a valid scatter/gather vector.
`NNG_ENOMEM` | Insufficient free memory to perform the operation.
`NNG_ENOTSUP` | HTTP operations are not supported.
`NNG_ETIMEDOUT` | Timeout waiting for data from the connection.
