http_fopen

#include <net_config.h>

void* http_fopen (
    U8* fname );   /* Pointer to name of file to open. */

The http_fopen function opens a file for reading. The argument fname specifies the name of the file to open. If the file does not exist, fopen fails.

The argument fname is percent-encoded. This means that all reserved characters in a file name are encoded escaped. A reserved character is converted to ASCII and then represented by a percent followed by two hexadecimal digits.

For example the following URL contains a reserved space character:

http://[ip address]/file name.txt

This URL is encoded escaped. After processing, the argument fname points to

file%20name.txt

The http_fopen function is in the HTTP_uif.c module. The prototype is defined in net_config.h.

The http_fopen function returns a pointer to the opened file. The function returns NULL if it cannot open the file.

http_fclose

void *http_fopen (U8 *fname) {
  /* Open file 'fname' for reading. Return file handle. */
  return (fopen ((const char *)fname, "r"));
}
