type t

The type of the abstract state of happy eyeballs.

type getaddrinfo =
  [ `A | `AAAA ] ->
  [ `host ] Domain_name.t ->
  (Ipaddr.Set.t, [ `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result Lwt.t

val create : 
  ?happy_eyeballs:Happy_eyeballs.t ->
  ?getaddrinfo:getaddrinfo ->
  ?timer_interval:int64 ->
  unit ->
  t

create ~happy_eyeballs ~getaddrinfo ~timer_interval () creates an initial state of happy eyeballs with the specified timeouts in nanoseconds - the default for timer_interval is Duration.of_ms 10.

val connect_host : 
  t ->
  ?aaaa_timeout:int64 ->
  ?connect_delay:int64 ->
  ?connect_timeout:int64 ->
  ?resolve_timeout:int64 ->
  ?resolve_retries:int ->
  [ `host ] Domain_name.t ->
  int list ->
  ((Ipaddr.t * int) * Lwt_unix.file_descr, [ `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result
    Lwt.t

connect_host t host ports establishes a connection to host on ports (tried in sequence). The timeouts and delays are specified in nanoseconds, and are by default the values defined when constructing t.

raises Failure
if ports is empty.

val connect_ip : 
  t ->
  ?aaaa_timeout:int64 ->
  ?connect_delay:int64 ->
  ?connect_timeout:int64 ->
  (Ipaddr.t * int) list ->
  ((Ipaddr.t * int) * Lwt_unix.file_descr, [ `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result
    Lwt.t

connect_ip t addresses establishes a connection to addresses. The timeouts and delays are specified in nanoseconds, and are by default the values defined when constructing t.

raises Failure
if addresses is the empty list.

val connect : 
  t ->
  ?aaaa_timeout:int64 ->
  ?connect_delay:int64 ->
  ?connect_timeout:int64 ->
  ?resolve_timeout:int64 ->
  ?resolve_retries:int ->
  string ->
  int list ->
  ((Ipaddr.t * int) * Lwt_unix.file_descr, [ `Msg of string ]) Stdlib.result
    Lwt.t

connect t host ports establishes a connection to host on ports, which may be a host name, or an IP address. The timeouts and delays are specified in nanoseconds, and are by default the values defined when constructing t.

raises Failure
if ports is the empty list.

val inject : t -> getaddrinfo -> unit

inject t getaddrinfo injects a new domain-name resolver into the given happy-eyeballs instance. By default, the happy-eyeballs instance use Lwt_unix.getaddrinfo to be able to resolve domain-name. However, the user can choose to use its own implementation of a DNS resolver (like ocaml-dns).

So, the ceremony for using happy-eyeballs with your own DNS resolver is to create a happy-eyeballs instance, obtain an instance that can resolve domain names (such as ocaml-dns) and inject the latter's implementation into our first happy-eyeballs instance:

let _ =
  let dns = Dns_client_lwt.create () in
  let happy_eyeballs = Dns_client_lwt.create_happy_eyeballs dns in
  Happy_eyeballs_lwt.connect happy_eyeballs "robur.coop" [ 443 ]
  >>= function
  | Ok (_, fd) -> ...
  | Error _ -> ...
