If non-%NULL, the value to use for the "Server" header on #SoupServerMessages processed by this server.
The Server header is the server equivalent of the User-Agent header, and provides information about the server and its components. It contains a list of one or more product tokens, separated by whitespace, with the most significant product token coming first. The tokens must be brief, ASCII, and mostly alphanumeric (although "-", "_", and "." are also allowed), and may optionally include a "/" followed by a version string. You may also put comments, enclosed in parentheses, between or after the tokens.
Some HTTP server implementations intentionally do not use version numbers in their Server header, so that installations running older versions of the server don't end up advertising their vulnerability to specific security holes.
As with #SoupSession:user_agent, if you set a
#SoupServer:server_header property that has trailing whitespace,
#SoupServer will append its own product token (eg,

Adds an authentication domain to server. Each auth domain will
have the chance to require authentication for each request that
comes in; normally auth domains will require authentication for
requests on certain paths that they have been set up to watch, or
that meet other criteria set by the caller. If an auth domain
determines that a request requires authentication (and the request
doesn't contain authentication), server will automatically reject
the request with an appropriate status (401 Unauthorized or 407
Proxy Authentication Required). If the request used the
SoupServer:100-continue Expectation, server will reject it before the
request body is sent.
a #SoupAuthDomain
Adds an "early" handler to server for requests prefixed by path. Note
that "normal" and "early" handlers are matched up together, so if
you add a normal handler for "/foo" and an early handler for
"/foo/bar", then a request to "/foo/bar" (or any path below it)
will run only the early handler. (But if you add both handlers at
the same path, then both will get run.)
For requests under path (that have not already been assigned a
status code by a #SoupAuthDomain or a signal handler), callback
will be invoked after receiving the request headers, but before
receiving the request body; the message's method and
request-headers properties will be set.
Early handlers are generally used for processing requests with request bodies in a streaming fashion. If you determine that the request will contain a message body, normally you would call soup_message_body_set_accumulate() on the message's request-body to turn off request-body accumulation, and connect to the message's #SoupServerMessage::got-chunk signal to process each chunk as it comes in.
To complete the message processing after the full message body has
been read, you can either also connect to #SoupServerMessage::got-body,
or else you can register a non-early handler for path as well. As
long as you have not set the status-code by the time
#SoupServerMessage::got-body is emitted, the non-early handler will be
run as well.
the toplevel path for the handler
callback to invoke for requests under path
Adds a handler to server for requests prefixed by path. If path is
%NULL or "/", then this will be the default handler for all
requests that don't have a more specific handler. (Note though that
if you want to handle requests to the special "" URI, you must
explicitly register a handler for ""; the default handler will not
be used for that case.)
For requests under path (that have not already been assigned a
status code by a #SoupAuthDomain, an early server handler, or a
signal handler), callback will be invoked after receiving the
request body; the #SoupServerMessage's method, request-headers,
and request-body properties will be set.
After determining what to do with the request, the callback must at a minimum call soup_server_message_set_status() on the message to set the response status code. Additionally, it may set response headers and/or fill in the response body.
If the callback cannot fully fill in the response before returning
(eg, if it needs to wait for information from a database, or
another network server), it should call soup_server_pause_message()
to tell server to not send the response right away. When the
response is ready, call soup_server_unpause_message() to cause it
to be sent.
To send the response body a bit at a time using "chunked" encoding, first call soup_message_headers_set_encoding() to set %SOUP_ENCODING_CHUNKED on the response-headers. Then call soup_message_body_append() (or soup_message_body_append_bytes)) to append each chunk as it becomes ready, and soup_server_unpause_message() to make sure it's running. (The server will automatically pause the message if it is using chunked encoding but no more chunks are available.) When you are done, call soup_message_body_complete() to indicate that no more chunks are coming.

callback to invoke for requests under path
Add support for a WebSocket extension of the given extension_type.
When a WebSocket client requests an extension of extension_type,
a new #SoupWebsocketExtension of type extension_type will be created
to handle the request.
Note that #SoupWebsocketExtensionDeflate is supported by default, use soup_server_remove_websocket_extension() if you want to disable it.
a #GType
Adds a WebSocket handler to server for requests prefixed by path. (If
path is %NULL or "/", then this will be the default handler for
all requests that don't have a more specific handler.)
When a path has a WebSocket handler registered, server will check
incoming requests for WebSocket handshakes after all other handlers
have run (unless some earlier handler has already set a status code
on the message), and update the request's status, response headers,
and response body accordingly.
If origin is non-%NULL, then only requests containing a matching
"Origin" header will be accepted. If protocols is non-%NULL, then
only requests containing a compatible "Sec-WebSocket-Protocols"
header will be accepted. More complicated requirements can be
handled by adding a normal handler to path, and having it perform
whatever checks are needed and
setting a failure status code if the handshake should be rejected.

Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property
on target.
Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is
updated using the same value. For instance:
g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.
If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual:
if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source
will be updated as well.
The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the
target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the
source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned
#GBinding instance.
Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if
the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it
is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it
is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be
finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and
use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.
A #GObject can have multiple bindings.

Closes and frees server's listening sockets.
Note that if there are currently requests in progress on server,
that they will continue to be processed if server's #GMainContext
is still running.
You can call soup_server_listen(), etc, after calling this function if you want to start listening again.
This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a [floating][floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().
Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is
non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is
stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased
to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one
#GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the
object is frozen.
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

Checks whether server is capable of https.
In order for a server to run https, you must call soup_server_set_ssl_cert_file(), or set the #SoupServer:tls-certificate property, to provide it with a certificate to use.
If you are using the deprecated single-listener APIs, then a return
value of %TRUE indicates that the #SoupServer serves https
exclusively. If you are using soup_server_listen(), etc, then a
%TRUE return value merely indicates that the server is

If options includes %SOUP_SERVER_LISTEN_HTTPS, and server has
been configured for TLS, then server will listen for https
connections on this port. Otherwise it will listen for plain http.
You may call this method (along with the other "listen" methods) any number of times on a server, if you want to listen on multiple ports, or set up both http and https service.
After calling this method, server will begin accepting and
processing connections as soon as the appropriate #GMainContext is
run.
Note that #SoupServer never makes use of dual IPv4/IPv6 sockets; if
address is an IPv6 address, it will only accept IPv6 connections.
You must configure IPv4 listening separately.

Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
the name of a property installed on the class of object.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().
One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
enum
{
PROP_0,
PROP_FOO,
PROP_LAST
};
static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];
static void
my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
{
properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
0, 100,
50,
G_PARAM_READWRITE);
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
PROP_FOO,
properties[PROP_FOO]);
}
and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:
g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
the #GParamSpec of a property installed on the class of object.
Pauses I/O on msg. This can be used when you need to return from
the server handler without having the full response ready yet. Use
soup_server_unpause_message() to resume I/O.

Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the
[floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type
under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.
This function should only be called from object system implementations.
Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.
Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string().
This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been
finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values
for key in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

name of the key
This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object
without invoking its destroy() function (if any was
set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
const gchar *new_string)
{
// the quark, naming the object data
GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
// retrieve the old string list
GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
// prepend new string
list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
// this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
GList *node, *list = data;
for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
g_free (node->data);
g_list_free (list);
}
Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Reverts the effect of a previous call to
g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object
and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.
It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.
Resumes I/O on msg. Use this to resume after calling
soup_server_pause_message(), or after adding a new chunk to a
chunked response.
I/O won't actually resume until you return to the main loop.

a #SoupServerMessage associated with server.
Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count
drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.
This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to
the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on
it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are
added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra
reference count is held on object during invocation of the
closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that
use this object as closure data.

name of a property to look up.
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.
This function is meant to be called from the interface's default
