This is a parser for HTTP written in Java, based quite heavily on
the Ryan Dahl's C Version: http-parser available here:
http://github.com/ry/http-parser
It parses both requests and responses. The parser is designed to be used in performance HTTP applications.
Features:
- No dependencies (probably won't be able to keep it up)
- Handles persistent streams (keep-alive).
- Decodes chunked encoding.
- Upgrade support
The parser extracts the following information from HTTP messages:
- Header fields and values
- Content-Length
- Request method
- Response status code
- Transfer-Encoding
- HTTP version
- Request path, query string, fragment
- Message body
use ant compile|test|jar
TODO: in the present form, usage of the Java version of the parser shouldn't be too difficult to figure out for someone familiar with the C version.
More documentation will follow shortly, in case you're looking for an easy to use http library, this lib is probably not what you are looking for anyway ...
All text after this paragraph (and most of the text above it) are from the original C version of the README and are currently only here for reference. In case you encounter any difficulties, find bugs, need help or have suggestions, feel free to contact me at ([email protected]).
