It is also the HTTP/1 parser of [H2O](https://github.com/h2o/h2o). + +Check out [test.c] to find out how to use the parser. + +The software is dual-licensed under the Perl License or the MIT License. + +Usage +----- + +The library exposes four functions: `phr_parse_request`, `phr_parse_response`, `phr_parse_headers`, `phr_decode_chunked`. + +### phr_parse_request + +The example below reads an HTTP request from socket `sock` using `read(2)`, parses it using `phr_parse_request`, and prints the details. + +```c +char buf[4096], *method, *path; +int pret, minor_version; +struct phr_header headers[100]; +size_t buflen = 0, prevbuflen = 0, method_len, path_len, num_headers; +ssize_t rret; + +while (1) { + /* read the request */ + while ((rret = read(sock, buf + buflen, sizeof(buf) - buflen)) == -1 && errno == EINTR) + ; + if (rret <= 0) + return IOError; + prevbuflen = buflen; + buflen += rret; + /* parse the request */ + num_headers = sizeof(headers) / sizeof(headers[0]); + pret = phr_parse_request(buf, buflen, &method, &method_len, &path, &path_len, + &minor_version, headers, &num_headers, prevbuflen); + if (pret > 0) + break; /* successfully parsed the request */ + else if (pret == -1) + return ParseError; + /* request is incomplete, continue the loop */ + assert(pret == -2); + if (buflen == sizeof(buf)) + return RequestIsTooLongError; +} + +printf("request is %d bytes long\n", pret); +printf("method is %.*s\n", (int)method_len, method); +printf("path is %.*s\n", (int)path_len, path); +printf("HTTP version is 1.%d\n", minor_version); +printf("headers:\n"); +for (i = 0; i != num_headers; ++i) { + printf("%.*s: %.*s\n", (int)headers[i].name_len, headers[i].name, + (int)headers[i].value_len, headers[i].value); +} +``` + +### phr_parse_response, phr_parse_headers + +`phr_parse_response` and `phr_parse_headers` provide similar interfaces as `phr_parse_request`. `phr_parse_response` parses an HTTP response, and `phr_parse_headers` parses the headers only. + +### phr_decode_chunked + +The example below decodes incoming data in chunked-encoding.
