This patch defines enumerators for all HTTP methods that exist (including PATCH introduced in RFC 5789). It also makes them bit-masky (that's not a word, is it?), breaking binary- but not source-code compatibility. evhttp now stores a bitmask specifying for which methods requests to dispatch and which ones to reject with "405 Method Not Allowed". By default that's the ones we currently have (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE), thereby keeping functional compatibility (besides the minor change that one of the other methods will now cause 405 instead of 400. But I believe that could even be considered a bug-fix). evhttp is extended by evhttp_set_allowed_methods() with which the user can change that bitmask. no regressions here and my test-app still works. Haven't yet actually tested any of the new methods. What's obviously missing here is the special logic for the methods: OPTIONS: We should be fine here - I believe our current dispatch logic should work fine. Some convenience functions would be fine though. TRACE: I'm pretty certain we should never dispatch this to the callbacks and simply implement the necessary functionality built-in. CONNECT: Pretty straight-forward to implement (and considering the framework in which we implement it very efficient too). Should probably go built-in. PATCH: Except for checking the RFC against our pre-dispatch logic (there just might be some "MUST not have Some-Header" lurking somewhere) there is nothing to be done here, this is completely up to the user. Nothing to do.
0. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (Briefly)
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make verify # (optional)
$ sudo make install
1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (In Depth)
To build libevent, type
$ ./configure && make
(If you got libevent from the git repository, you will
first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
generate the configure script.)
Install as root via
# make install
You can run the regression tests by running
$ make verify
Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.
To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:
CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
Standard configure flags should work. In particular, see:
--disable-shared Only build static libraries
--prefix Install all files relative to this directory.
The configure script also supports the following flags:
--enable-gcc-warnings Enable extra compiler checking with GCC.
--disable-malloc-replacement
Don't let applications replace our memory
management functions
--disable-openssl Disable support for OpenSSL encryption.
--disable-thread-support Don't support multithreaded environments.
