Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] HTTP Integration

[Michael D. <mi...@mi...>]

Thanks, Jonathan and Divye, for offering your help with this.  I've  
also been corresponding off-list with Dean, and he expects to be able  
to help out with this conversion as well.

I tried dumping the things off the top of my head into the Wiki that  
Glyn setup at http://cpp-netlib.wiki.sourceforge.net/Http+Integration+Plan

Please let me know if this is a helpful place to start, or what else I  
can spec out or explain.

Seems to me that the immediate tasks at hand would be:

a) Update the http::parser so that it uses the new methods and static  
constants that were moved over into cpp-netlib (?)
b) Add documentation (to the sourceforge wiki?) for all the new  
network/protocol/http stuff
c) Write unit tests for http::parser and the new http::message methods  
(some may already exist in pion-net's test suite)
d) converting the URI parser(s) to use Boost.Spirit and craft HTTP 1.1  
requests associated with the URI (from Dean)
e) Incorporate http::parser into http::client so that it is used to  
parse server responses
f) Update http::client so that it can use http::request objects to  
build & send the request
g) Write new unit tests for http::client
...

Take care,
-Mike
