preconnect_async


Description:

public async bool preconnect_async (Message msg, int io_priority, Cancellable? cancellable) throws Error

Start a preconnection to msg.

Once the connection is done, it will remain in idle state so that it can be reused by future requests. If there's already an idle connection for the given msg host, the operation finishes successfully without creating a new connection. If a new request for the given msg host is made while the preconnect is still ongoing, the request will take the ownership of the connection and the preconnect operation will finish successfully (if there's a connection error it will be handled by the request).

The operation finishes when the connection is done or an error occurred.

Parameters:

this

a Session

msg

a Message

io_priority

the I/O priority of the request

cancellable

a Cancellable

callback

the callback to invoke when the operation finishes

user_data

data for progress_callback and callback
