Qt4 Http Request Parser

Qt 4.4 introduces QNetworkRequest and QNetworkAccessManager to help you with your HTTP client request. But if you want parse an HTTP Request, because you're writing an HTTP server, it seems that there's nothing already done (comment here, if I've missed it).

So, this morning I've written a little class that help you with HTTP Request parse:

• static HttpRequest fromData (const QByteArray& data);
• static HttpRequest fromStream (QIODevice *buffer);

There's a couple of method that you can use to parse your request data, and some others method to retrieve headers, method type, url and body data.

Qt is used only for QHash, QByteArray and QIODevice classes, you've to implement all the "socket" logic, to handle your client request and response.

The Source code is available here: Qt4 Http Request Parser Source Code.

Self Contained C Data Structures and Utils Repository

I've rewritten a couple of data structure and utils (C lang) that I use for my RaleighFS Project, and I've released it at github under BSD License.

At the moment there are some data structures and helper functions:

• Memory Pool - Simple Memory Allocator.
• Memory Utils - memcpy(), memset(), memcmp(), memswap() with some variants.
• Memory Block - copy-on-write block.
• Hashed Containers: Hashtable, Set, Bag.
• Queue - FIFO/Circular Queue.
• Cache - LRU/MRU Cache.
• WorkQueue - Lightweight pthread workqueue.
• Sort/Merge functions.

Every "object" is self contained, you can grab the "hashtable.c/hashtable.h" file to be ready to use the hashtable, no other dependence is required. And if data structure require a malloc() you can specify your own allocator during object initialization.
