While probably not an issue for some applications, it can be too limiting for some others. Therefore, it is desirable to allow library users to set up their own limits. Otherwise, 10 is still chosen as a sane default. 2024-08-22T00:27:35+00:00 Xavier Del Campo Romero xavi.dcr@tutanota.com 2024-08-22T00:04:29+00:00 urn:sha1:93571556ee97e1a3e1829f8bc708d1d63f188840 2024-02-19T22:33:27+00:00 Xavier Del Campo Romero xavi.dcr@tutanota.com 2024-02-19T22:29:01+00:00 urn:sha1:b4930f72bb9026c5a0871f4fa4cabe20cb0e6a9f 2024-02-19T22:00:56+00:00 Xavier Del Campo Romero xavi.dcr@tutanota.com 2024-02-19T22:00:56+00:00 urn:sha1:afe0681c0b26bb64bad55d7e86770f346cfa043e A malicious user could inject an infinite number of empty files or key/value pairs into a request in order to exhaust the device's resources. 2024-02-12T22:12:43+00:00 Xavier Del Campo Romero xavi.dcr@tutanota.com 2024-02-12T20:21:57+00:00 urn:sha1:6ceae16a20175edb77fb2ffab0d3d6648d011221 2024-02-12T21:45:17+00:00 Xavier Del Campo Romero xavi.dcr@tutanota.com 2024-02-12T21:16:35+00:00 urn:sha1:fcba916011f8fe21e60df1e0302371fc3956126f 2023-11-20T15:08:08+00:00 Xavier Del Campo xavier.delcampo@midokura.com 2023-11-16T11:21:31+00:00 urn:sha1:2561ec32fe24e9cc81151193fbf2c55c94078816 2023-11-18T00:03:12+00:00 Xavier Del Campo Romero xavi.dcr@tutanota.com 2023-11-17T23:56:04+00:00 urn:sha1:65031ca3502e0c27780be847fd97c112546741a9 Even if libweb already parses some common headers, such as Content-Length, some users might find it interesting to inspect which headers were received from a request. Since HTTP/1.1 does not define a limit on the number of maximum headers a client can send, for security reasons a maximum value must be provided by the user. Any extra headers shall be then discarded by libweb. An example application showing this new feature is also provided. 2023-10-10T22:07:13+00:00 Xavier Del Campo Romero xavi.dcr@tutanota.com 2023-10-10T21:21:35+00:00 urn:sha1:0222b75e8554796548e079aa3393c512ae30ac24 It was found out there was another project of the same name around (https://git.sr.ht/~strahinja/slweb/), also related to website generation. In order to avoid confusion, a new name has been chosen for this project. Surprisingly, libweb was not in use by any distributions (according to https://repology.org and AUR index), and it should reflect well the intention behind this project i.e., being a library to build web-related stuff.
