The API + * functions allow the message to be built up systematically before + * transmission to a connected socket. + * + * The order of the functions in your program would look something like + * this: + * http_message_create() + * http_message_set_response() + * http_message_set_body() [optional if no body is required] + * http_message_add_headers() [optional if no additional headers are used] + * http_message_send() + * http_message_destroy() + * + * NOTE: No user data is stored in the http_message_t type; therefore, + * do not delete strings referenced by the http_message_t object + * before you call http_message_destroy(). By not copying data, the + * API functions are faster, but you must take greater care. + * + * (Side note: be _very_ careful when using stack allocated memory with + * this API. Bad things will happen if you try to pass the + * http_message_t out of the calling function since the stack + * allocated memory referenced by the http_message_t will no long + * exist.) + * + * Copyright (C) 2003 Robert James Kaes (rjkaes@users.sourceforge.net) + * + * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it + * under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the + * Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any + * later version. + * + * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but + * WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
