Kamaelia docs : Kamaelia.Protocol.HTTP.HTTPParser

HTTP Parser

This component is for transforming HTTP requests or responses into multiple easy-to-use dictionary objects.

Unless you are implementing a new HTTP component you should not use this component directly. Either SimpleHTTPClient, HTTPServer (in conjuncton with SimpleServer) or SingleShotHTTPClient will likely serve your needs.

If you want to use it directly, note that it doesn't output strings but ParsedHTTPHeader, ParsedHTTPBodyChunk and ParsedHTTPEnd objects.

Example Usage

If you want to play around with parsing HTTP responses: (like a client):

pipeline(
    ConsoleReader(),
    HTTPParser(mode="response"),
    ConsoleEchoer()
).run()

If you want to play around with parsing HTTP requests: (like a server):

pipeline(
    ConsoleReader(),
    HTTPParser(mode="response"),
    ConsoleEchoer()
).run()
