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.
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()
Component that transforms HTTP requests or responses from a single TCP connection into multiple easy-to-use dictionary objects.
Read once from inbox (generally a TCP connection) and add what is received to the readbuffer. This is somewhat inefficient for long lines maybe O(n^2)
Fetch the next complete line in the readbuffer, if there is one
Got a problem with the documentation? Something unclear that could be clearer? Want to help improve it? Constructive criticism is very welcome - especially if you can suggest a better rewording!
Please leave you feedback here in reply to the documentation thread in the Kamaelia blog.
