[Kritton-devel] CVS commit - get_params

[Florent M. <fl...@fr...>]

Hi team,

1) getting the parameters
I worked on the get_param function this week and i commited it on CVS.

there are 3 functions : get_params, get_couple_from_params and check_couples.
They all are in main.c, would it be useful to have it elsewhere ?

- get_params : get the characters placed after "?" in the URL 
(?var1=val1&var2=val2)
- get_couple_from_params : extract the couples from the params
- check_couple : check the couples syntax.

Questions : 
- How many params do we have to take care of ? (in my code, max_params=5). 
Note : I have a bug if the numbers of params in the URL is higher than 
max_params, nothing happens.
- To store the couples, i use a char *couple[max_params], would it be better 
with a char **couple ?

- In check_couple : there is a list of allowed characters. It is to be 
completed. I still have troubles with characters like : "%2F".


I think that's all for now, please note that this code is a first try to take 
care of the parameters stored in the URL. It _needs_ some optimisation and 
verification (especially for the malloc).

Give me your opinion/corrections...


2) The POST method 

I read that when a Post method is sent by a client, the request looks like :
[HEADER
containing a Content-length]
CRLF
[BODY
containing the params
i.e : var1=val1&var2=val2]

My problem is that i cannot mange to get the whole request from the client. So 
i cannot get the parameters sent by the POST method. Any clue ?

Regards,
Florent
