Detailed Description
GASS Server Implementation.
Another mode of using the GASS Transfer API is to implement data servers. The primary difference between the client and server parts of the GASS Transfer API are how requests are generated.
To implement a server, the user would call globus_gass_transfer_create_listener() to create a new server port on which a specific protocol will be used to request file transfer operations. The user may obtain the URL that the listener is bound to by calling globus_gass_transfer_listener_get_base_url().
Once the listener is created, the user can call globus_gass_transfer_register_listen() to wait for clients to connect to it. Once the server has detected an attempt to connect by a client, the use can call globus_gass_transfer_register_accept() to accept the connection from the client and parse the request.
In the callback associated with globus_gass_transfer_register_accept(), the server can decide how to process the request. The user may choose to authorize the request by calling globus_gass_transfer_authorize(), refer it to another URL or URLs by calling globus_gass_transfer_refer() or deny the client access to the URL by calling globus_gass_transfer_deny().

Function Documentation
int globus_gass_transfer_authorize (globus_gass_transfer_request_trequest, globus_size_ttotal_length)
Authorize a request.This function causes the request to be authorized for processing. It should be called in response to a request accept callback when the server wants to agree to process this request. After calling this function, the server implementation should call globus_gass_transfer_send_bytes() or globus_gass_transfer_receive_bytes() to send or receive the data associated with the URL.
Parameters:
-
request A new request handle, passed to the server in an accept callback.
total_length For a 'get' request, the total_length of the file to be retrieved if known. This value may be GLOBUS_GASS_LENGTH_UNKNOWN if the protocol supports transferring arbitrarily-sized files.
Return values:
-
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE The request handle was not valid, not created by calling globus_gass_transfer_register_accept(), or has already been denied or authorized.
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED The protocol module does not support authorizing requests.

int globus_gass_transfer_close_listener (globus_gass_transfer_listener_tlistener, globus_gass_transfer_close_callback_tcallback, void *user_arg)
Close a GASS listener.This function calls the protocol specific function needed to close a GASS server listener port. Callbacks for any outstanding accepts will be called before the close callback is invoked.
Parameters:
-
listener Listener handle created by calling globus_gass_transfer_create_listener().
callback Function to call once the listener handle has been closed.
user_arg Argument to be passed to the callback function.
Return values:
-
GLOBUS_SUCCESS The close operation was successfully registered on the listener.
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE The listener handle was invalid.
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED The listener handle was not properly initialized.
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_DONE A close has already been registered on the listener.
int globus_gass_transfer_create_listener (globus_gass_transfer_listener_t *listener, globus_gass_transfer_listenerattr_t *attr, char *scheme)
Create a new protocol-specific listener socket for a GASS server.This function creates a new socket to listen for client connections as a GASS server. The listener handle pointer is initialized to contain the a new handle which can be used in subsequent server operations.
After calling this function, a user may call the globus_gass_transfer_register_listen() or globus_gass_transfer_close_listener() functions with this listener handle.
Parameters:
-
listener A new listener handle to initialize.
attr Protocol-specific attributes for the new listener.
scheme The protocol scheme to implement for the listener.
Return values:
-
GLOBUS_SUCCESS The listener was successfully created.
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NULL_POINTER The listener or scheme parameter was NULL
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED The scheme is not supported by any protocol module.
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_MALLOC_FAILED Data structures associated with the transfer could not be allocated.
int globus_gass_transfer_deny (globus_gass_transfer_request_trequest, intreason, char *message)
Deny a request.This function causes the request to be denied for further processing. It should be called in response to a request ccept callback when the server wants to refuse processing this request for the client. After calling this function, the server implementation need do nothing further with the request handle.
Parameters:
-
request A new request handle, passed to the server in an accept callback.
reason A protocol-specific reason code.
message An informational message to be sent to the client.
Return values:
-
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE The request handle was not valid, not created by calling globus_gass_transfer_register_accept(), or has already been denied or authorized.
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED The protocol module does not support denying requests.

char* globus_gass_transfer_listener_get_base_url (globus_gass_transfer_listener_tlistener)
Get the base URL of a listener.This function queries a listener handle for the base URL which the server is listening on. For most protocols, this contains the protocol scheme, host, and port that the listener has registered itself on.
Parameters:
- listener The listener handle to query.
Returns:
- This function returns a pointer to a string containing the base URL. This string must not be freed or modified by the caller. It may not be referred to after the function globus_gass_transfer_listener_close() has been called.
void* globus_gass_transfer_listener_get_user_pointer (globus_gass_transfer_listener_tlistener)
Get the user pointer associated with a listener.This function will query the listener's user_pointer field and return it's value.
Parameters:
- listener The listener handle.
Returns:
- If the listener handle is invalid or the user_pointer's value has not been set, then GLOBUS_NULL will be returned. Otherwise, the value of the user pointer will be returned.
See Also:
- globus_gass_transfer_listener_set_user_pointer()
int globus_gass_transfer_listener_set_user_pointer (globus_gass_transfer_listener_tlistener, void *user_pointer)
Set the user pointer associated with a listener.This function will set the listener's user_pointer field. The pointer may be used to associate any pointer-sized data with a listener handle.
Parameters:
-
listener The listener handle.
user_pointer The value of the user pointer.
Return values:
-
GLOBUS_SUCCESS The user pointer was successfully set.
GLOBUS_GASS_TRANSFER_ERROR_INVALID_USE The listener handle was invalid.

int globus_gass_transfer_refer (globus_gass_transfer_request_trequest, char **urls, globus_size_tnum_urls)
Refer a request.This function causes the request to be referred to another URL or list of URLs. It should be called in response to a request accept callback when the server wants to refer the client to another server or servers to process the request.
Parameters:
-
request A new request handle, passed to the server in an accept callback.
urls An array of strings, each being a URL pointing to sources of the same data as the original URL.
num_urls The length of the urls array.
