POSIX.1-2008 does not any locale-specific version of strcasecmp(3), so
conversions to lowercase depend on the system locale.
Since HTTP header fields must be checked without case sensitivity and
not depend on the system locale, a specialised function that forces the
"POSIX" locale is required.

Add HTTP op and resource to length callback2026-02-12T15:59:55+00:00Xavier Del Campo Romeroxavi92@disroot.org2026-02-12T15:59:55+00:00urn:sha1:87807c690947f4636dc4dd7fddca15f944719f0c
Users might want to know which HTTP operation (i.e., POST or PUT) and/or
resource is being requested before determining whether the request
should be accepted or not.
Add optional expiration date to http_cookie_create2026-02-12T15:10:37+00:00Xavier Del Campo Romeroxavi92@disroot.org2026-02-12T14:55:13+00:00urn:sha1:1b2a52d214d92f543c9e0651f56c3292b23655a5
So far, libweb had been arbitrarily appending a 1-year expiration date
to all HTTP cookies. While good enough for some contexts, libweb should
allow users to set up their own, if any, so this arbitary decision has
been eventually removed.
Add man3 pages for the form API2025-10-09T09:28:59+00:00Xavier Del Campo Romeroxavi92@disroot.org2025-10-09T09:18:03+00:00urn:sha1:de7f4b2ffcd92dfeada9235ce857b801a4851da7Free chunk/step user data on context free2025-10-07T23:57:42+00:00Xavier Del Campo Romeroxavi92@disroot.org2025-10-07T23:51:15+00:00urn:sha1:e85d90fbf37cbd5a3264a2debd9b51438836c729
So far, users had no way to free user-defined data allocated inside the
chunk/step function pointers whenever an error occurred.
Now, the free callback can be also used in conjunction with chunk/step,
so that user-defined data is now deallocated when the operation
finishes (in the case of chunk-encoded data) or an error occurs.
libweb_http.7: Remove obsolete information2025-10-07T23:57:42+00:00Xavier Del Campo Romeroxavi92@disroot.org2025-10-07T21:33:20+00:00urn:sha1:594917d7b2170f7e946e2cc7e9c5de3f6e4775beImplement HTTP chunk encoding2025-10-07T23:57:42+00:00Xavier Del Campo Romeroxavi92@disroot.org2025-10-06T21:01:42+00:00urn:sha1:e77bd93693a74ce872d4c13fb45537c34518d84f
A new function pointer, namely chunk, has been added to struct
http_response so that library users can generate their message bodies
dynamically.
Allow custom backlog connections2025-10-06T19:03:59+00:00Xavier Del Campo Romeroxavi92@disroot.org2025-10-06T19:03:59+00:00urn:sha1:db9cb051c4ee05c07ab32dfed5bae8b7dc0916bd
libweb calls listen(2) when setting up the HTTP server, and its backlog
argument was hardcoded to 10. 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.
libweb_http.7: Add note about HTTP responses2025-10-06T14:27:21+00:00Xavier Del Campo Romeroxavi92@disroot.org2025-10-06T14:27:21+00:00urn:sha1:4918cf87d3cf5d3dd8425fe10d97a06282472df6
