Functions
int	http_read (http_t *http, int fd)
	Reads an HTTP request from the file descriptor fd and parses it filling the http_t structure with: request status; request headers; request body (if any).
const char *	http_get_header (http_t *http, char *key)
	Returns the value of a HTTP header with the given key.
const char *	http_get_status (http_t *http)
	Returns the status of a HTTP request, i.e.
const char *	http_get_body (http_t *http, size_t *length)
	Returns the body of a HTTP request.
void	http_free (http_t *http)
	Deallocates the resources used for a HTTP request.

Detailed Description

Function Documentation

void http_free

(

http_t *

http

)

Deallocates the resources used for a HTTP request.

Parameters

http	a pointer to an http_t structure to deallocate.

const char* http_get_body	(	http_t *	http,
		size_t *	length
	)

Returns the body of a HTTP request.

Parameters

http	a pointer to an http_t structure to retrieve the body from.
length	if specified, *length gets filled with the total length in bytes of the HTTP body

Returns

a null-terminated string containing the value of the body of a HTTP request, or NULL if the HTTP request did not contain a body.

const char* http_get_header	(	http_t *	http,
		char *	key
	)

Returns the value of a HTTP header with the given key.

Parameters

http	a pointer to an http_t structure to retrieve the headers from.
key	the searched key.

Returns

a null-terminated string containing the value for the given key, or NULL if the HTTP request did not contain the searched header.

const char* http_get_status

(

http_t *

http

)

Returns the status of a HTTP request, i.e.

the fist line which terminates with "\r\n".

Parameters

http	a pointer to an http_t structure to retrieve the status from.

Returns

a null-terminated string containing the value of the HTTP status, or NULL if it was unable to retrieve the status of the HTTP request.

int http_read	(	http_t *	http,
		int	fd
	)

Reads an HTTP request from the file descriptor fd and parses it filling the http_t structure with: request status; request headers; request body (if any).

Parameters

http	an pointer to an http_t structure to be filled with the data of the HTTP request.
fd	a file descriptor where the HTTP stream is read from.

Returns

the total length of the HTTP request in bytes or -1 if no HTTP request could be processed. This happens in case: the connection has been closed; the length of the request exceeds the limits or the data stream ends prematurely.
