Description
The session error string is used to store any human-readable error information associated with any errors
which occur whilst using the HTTP session.
The ne_get_error function returns the current session error string. This string persists only until it is
changed by a subsequent operation on the session. If localisation was enabled at build time, and if
necessary enabled at run-time if necessary using ne_i18n_init, the returned string may have been
translated into the user's current locale.
The ne_set_error function can be used to set a new session error string, using a printf-style format
string interface.
Examples
Retrieve the current error string:
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
...
printf("Error was: %s\n", ne_get_error(sess));
Set a new error string:
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(...);
...
ne_set_error(sess, "Response missing header %s", "somestring");
