Member Function Documentation

◆ append_header()

void websocketpp::http::parser::parser::append_header	(	std::string const &	key,
		std::string const &	val,
		lib::error_code &	ec
	)

inline

Append a value to an existing HTTP header.

This method will set the value of the HTTP header key with the indicated value. If a header with the name key already exists, val will be appended to the existing value.

Note: per HTTP specs header values are compared case insensitively.

Todo:: Should there be any restrictions on which keys are allowed?

See also: replace_header

Parameters

[in]	key	The name/key of the header to append to.
[in]	val	The value to append.
[out]	ec	A status code describing the outcome of the operation.

Definition at line 69 of file parser.hpp.

◆ body_ready()

bool websocketpp::http::parser::parser::body_ready ( ) const

inlineprotected

Check if the parser is done parsing the body.

Behavior before a call to prepare_body is undefined.

Since: 0.5.0

Returns: True if the message body has been completed loaded.

Definition at line 607 of file parser.hpp.

◆ get_body()

std::string const& websocketpp::http::parser::parser::get_body ( ) const

inline

Get HTTP body.

Gets the body of the HTTP object

Returns: The body of the HTTP message.

Definition at line 510 of file parser.hpp.

◆ get_header()

std::string const & websocketpp::http::parser::parser::get_header ( std::string const & key ) const

inline

Get the value of an HTTP header.

Note: per HTTP specs header values are compared case insensitively.

Parameters

[in] key The name/key of the header to get.

Returns: The value associated with the given HTTP header key.

Definition at line 45 of file parser.hpp.

◆ get_header_as_plist()

bool websocketpp::http::parser::parser::get_header_as_plist	(	std::string const &	key,
		parameter_list &	out
	)		const

inline

Extract an HTTP parameter list from a parser header.

If the header requested doesn't exist or exists and is empty the parameter list is valid (but empty).

Parameters

[in]	key	The name/key of the HTTP header to use as input.
[out]	out	The parameter list to store extracted parameters in.

Returns: Whether or not the input was a valid parameter list.

Definition at line 57 of file parser.hpp.

◆ get_headers()

header_list const & websocketpp::http::parser::parser::get_headers ( ) const

inline

Return a list of all HTTP headers.

Return a list of all HTTP headers

Since: 0.8.0

Returns: A list of all HTTP headers

Definition at line 204 of file parser.hpp.

◆ get_max_body_size()

size_t websocketpp::http::parser::parser::get_max_body_size ( ) const

inline

Get body size limit.

Retrieves the maximum number of bytes to parse & buffer before canceling a request.

Since: 0.5.0

Returns: The maximum length of a message body.

Definition at line 535 of file parser.hpp.

◆ get_version()

std::string const& websocketpp::http::parser::parser::get_version ( ) const

inline

Get the HTTP version string.

Returns: The version string for this parser

Definition at line 410 of file parser.hpp.

◆ parse_parameter_list()

bool websocketpp::http::parser::parser::parse_parameter_list	(	std::string const &	in,
		parameter_list &	out
	)		const

inline

Extract an HTTP parameter list from a string.

Parameters

[in]	in	The input string.
[out]	out	The parameter list to store extracted parameters in.

Returns: Whether or not the input was a valid parameter list.

Definition at line 132 of file parser.hpp.

◆ prepare_body()

bool websocketpp::http::parser::parser::prepare_body ( lib::error_code & ec )

inlineprotected

Prepare the parser to begin parsing body data.

Inspects headers to determine if the message has a body that needs to be read. If so, sets up the necessary state, otherwise returns false. If this method returns true and loading the message body is desired call process_body until it returns zero bytes or an error.

Must not be called until after all headers have been processed.

Since: 0.5.0 (no parameters); 0.9.0 (the ec parameter)

Parameters

[out] ec A status code describing the outcome of the operation.

Returns: True if more bytes are needed to load the body, false otherwise.

Definition at line 144 of file parser.hpp.

◆ process_body()

size_t websocketpp::http::parser::parser::process_body	(	char const *	buf,
		size_t	len
	)

inlineprotected

Process body data.

Parses body data.

Since: 0.5.0

Parameters

[in]	begin	An iterator to the beginning of the sequence.
[in]	end	An iterator to the end of the sequence.

Returns: The number of bytes processed

Definition at line 170 of file parser.hpp.

◆ process_header()

void websocketpp::http::parser::parser::process_header	(	std::string::iterator	begin,
		std::string::iterator	end
	)

inlineprotected

Process a header line.

Todo:: Update this method to be exception free.

Parameters

[in]	begin	An iterator to the beginning of the sequence.
[in]	end	An iterator to the end of the sequence.

Definition at line 186 of file parser.hpp.

◆ raw_headers()

std::string websocketpp::http::parser::parser::raw_headers ( ) const

inlineprotected

Generate and return the HTTP headers as a string.

Each headers will be followed by the \r
sequence including the last one. A second \r
sequence (blank header) is not appended by this method

Returns: The HTTP headers as a string.

Definition at line 208 of file parser.hpp.

◆ remove_header()

void websocketpp::http::parser::parser::remove_header	(	std::string const &	key,
		lib::error_code &	ec
	)

inline

Remove a header from the parser.

Removes the header entirely from the parser. This is different than setting the value of the header to blank.

Note: per HTTP specs header values are compared case insensitively.

Parameters

[in]	key	The name/key of the header to remove.
[out]	ec	A status code describing the outcome of the operation.

Definition at line 97 of file parser.hpp.

◆ replace_header()

void websocketpp::http::parser::parser::replace_header	(	std::string const &	key,
		std::string const &	val,
		lib::error_code &	ec
	)

inline

Set a value for an HTTP header, replacing an existing value.

This method will set the value of the HTTP header key with the indicated value. If a header with the name key already exists, val will replace the existing value.

Note: per HTTP specs header values are compared case insensitively.

See also: append_header

Parameters

[in]	key	The name/key of the header to append to.
[in]	val	The value to append.
[out]	ec	A status code describing the outcome of the operation.

Definition at line 85 of file parser.hpp.

◆ set_body()

void websocketpp::http::parser::parser::set_body	(	std::string const &	value,
		lib::error_code &	ec
	)

inline

Set body content.

Set the body content of the HTTP response to the parameter string. Note set_body will also set the Content-Length HTTP header to the appropriate value. If you want the Content-Length header to be something else, do so via replace_header("Content-Length") after calling set_body()

Parameters

	value	String data to include as the body content.
[out]	ec	A status code describing the outcome of the operation.

Definition at line 109 of file parser.hpp.

◆ set_max_body_size()

void websocketpp::http::parser::parser::set_max_body_size ( size_t value )

inline

Set body size limit.

Set the maximum number of bytes to parse and buffer before canceling a request.

Since: 0.5.0

Parameters

value The size to set the max body length to.

Definition at line 548 of file parser.hpp.

◆ set_version()

void websocketpp::http::parser::parser::set_version ( std::string const & version )

inline

Set HTTP parser Version.

Input should be in format: HTTP/x.y where x and y are positive integers.

Todo:: Does this method need any validation?

Parameters

[in] version The value to set the HTTP version to.
