.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP
Basic support for HTTP serving\&.
As Libevent is a library for dealing with event notification and most interesting applications are networked today, I have often found the need to write HTTP code\&. The following prototypes and definitions provide an application with a minimal interface for making HTTP requests and for creating a very simple HTTP server\&.
.SH "Macro Definition Documentation"
.PP
.SS "#define EVHTTP_URI_NONCONFORMANT 0x01"
.PP
Tolerate URIs that do not conform to RFC3986\&. Unfortunately, some HTTP clients generate URIs that, according to RFC3986, are not conformant URIs\&. If you need to support these URIs, you can do so by passing this flag to evhttp_uri_parse_with_flags\&.
.PP
Currently, these changes are:
.PD 0
.IP "\(bu" 2
Nonconformant URIs are allowed to contain otherwise unreasonable characters in their path, query, and fragment components\&.

.SS "EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct evhttp_uri* evhttp_uri_parse_with_flags (const char * source_uri, unsigned flags)"
.PP
Helper function to parse a URI-Reference as specified by RFC3986\&. This function matches the URI-Reference production from RFC3986, which includes both URIs like
.PP
scheme://[[userinfo]@]foo\&.com[:port]]/[path][?query][#fragment]

Any optional elements portions not present in the original URI are left set to NULL in the resulting evhttp_uri\&. If no port is specified, the port is set to -1\&.
.PP
Note that no decoding is performed on percent-escaped characters in the string; if you want to parse them, use evhttp_uridecode or evhttp_parse_query_str as appropriate\&.
.PP
Note also that most URI schemes will have additional constraints that this function does not know about, and cannot check\&. For example, mailto://www\&.example\&.com/cgi-bin/fortune\&.pl is not a reasonable mailto url, http://www.example.com:99999/ is not a reasonable HTTP URL, and ftp:username@example.com is not a reasonable FTP URL\&.
