SAF Interface

All SAFs, both custom and built-in have the same C interface regardless of the request-handling step for which they are written. These small functions are designed for a specific purpose within a specific request-response step. They receive parameters from the directive that invokes them in the obj.conf file, from the server, and from previous SAFs.

The C interface for a SAF:

int function(pblock *pb, Session *sn, Request *rq);

The SAF parameter section discusses the parameters in detail.

The SAF returns a result code that indicates whether and how it succeeded. The server uses the result code from each function to determine how to proceed with processing the request. See , for details of the result codes.
