About libhttp

[Chris Hawks]

Mr.
I compiled the vieml-0.21 flnx-0.16 and libhttp-0.5 in term of the method
.....
http.cpp: In method 'int HTTPConnection::getURL(HTTPConnection::HTTPRequest
*)'
http.h:74:too few arguments to function "HTTP_Response http_request(char
*,char *,HTTP_Method,long unsigned int)"

libhttp-0.3 only had three parameters, but, it looks like libhttp-0.5 has
four. I haven't woked with either viewml or libhttp in a while.
The best thing is to ask Alan (he is on the list, I think) the author of
libhttp.

Yes, there's an additional flag to add the ability for content type to be
passed in to the function. This gives the ability to pass in a content type
and specify HFLAG_POST_USER_TYPE, so that a content type will not be
concatenated to the request. Currently if HFLAG_POST_USER_TYPE is not passed
in, it will concatenate the content type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

To use the library with your previous patch, just pass in HFLAG_NONE for the
additional parameter.

This is kinda cool, because you can specify a content type, depending on what
you're sending and/or what your server is expecting. Jean Tourrilhes actually
sent that patch in, I'm not exactly sure what he was doing with it, but he
was doing something at HP I think and needed to pass the content type in. You
might recognize his name, he has maintained a linux wireless page for quite
some time and most famous for the wireless extentions, a handy set of tools
that allow you to configure and work with wireless cards.
