server.c: Fix wrong for loop range

server.c: Multiplex client events

2024-08-25T13:10:11+00:00

Future commits would allow user-defined callbacks to write zero, one or more bytes to a file descriptor. If zero bytes were written, server_poll must avoid to always point to the same server_client, so that other requests from other server_client instances can still be handled.

server.c: Fix descriptor leak on failed fcntl(2)

handler.c: Do not printf when exiting

2024-08-25T12:31:21+00:00

libweb is meant to be silent during normal operation, thus only printing to stderr on errors.

Bump version to 0.4.0

Move signal handling to processes

2024-08-22T00:27:34+00:00

So far, libweb installed a signal handler so as to handle SIGTERM, SIGPIPE and SIGINT signals so that processes would not have to care about such details. However, it is not advisable for libraries to install signal handlers, as signals are handled on a per-process basis. The previous approach would be incompatible if several instances of the library were allocated by the same process. Unfortunately, this has the undesired side effect of adding the boilerplate code into the process.

http.c: Fix ending boundaries not followed by CRLF

2024-08-22T00:27:34+00:00

According to RFC 2046, section 5.1.1, end boundaries might not be followed by CRLF. However, so far libweb naively relied on this behaviour as major implementations, such as cURL, Chromium or Gecko always add the optional CRLF, whereas Dillo does not.

http.c: Accept double quotes on boundaries

2024-08-22T00:27:34+00:00

"multipart/form-data"-encoded POST requests might use double quotes for their boundaries. While this is required when invalid characters are otherwise used (e.g.: ':'), some web clients always insert double quotes. Additionally, according to RFC 2046 section 5.1.1, the boundary parameter consists of 1 to 70 characters, but libweb was not imposing such restrictions.

http.c: Remove unneeded parameter

2024-08-22T00:27:34+00:00

This parameter was rendered obsolete after the following commit: commit b0accd099fa8c5110d4c3c68830ad6fd810ca3ec Author: Xavier Del Campo Romero Date: Fri Nov 24 00:52:50 2023 +0100 http.c: Unify read operations

http.c: Remove unused variable
