/* $Id: http_message.h,v 1.1 2003-03-13 05:25:30 rjkaes Exp $ * * HTTP Message API * ---------------- * The idea behind this application programming interface (API) is to * represent an HTTP response message as a concrete entity. 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@flarenet.com) * * 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.
