Detailed Description
       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.

Macro Definition Documentation
   #define EVHTTP_URI_NONCONFORMANT   0x01
       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.

       Currently, these changes are:

       ⊕ Nonconformant URIs are allowed to contain otherwise unreasonable
         characters in their path, query, and fragment components.
Enumeration Type Documentation
   enum evhttp_cmd_type
       The different request types supported by evhttp. These are as specified
       in RFC2616, except for PATCH which is specified by RFC5789.
       By default, only some of these methods are accepted and passed to user
       callbacks; use evhttp_set_allowed_methods() to change which methods are
       allowed.
   enum evhttp_request_error
       The different error types supported by evhttp.
       See also:
           evhttp_request_set_error_cb()
       Enumerator
       EVREQ_HTTP_TIMEOUT
              Timeout reached, also.
       See also:
           evhttp_connection_set_timeout()
       EVREQ_HTTP_EOF
              EOF reached.
       EVREQ_HTTP_INVALID_HEADER
              Error while reading header, or invalid header.
       EVREQ_HTTP_BUFFER_ERROR
              Error encountered while reading or writing.
       EVREQ_HTTP_REQUEST_CANCEL
              The evhttp_cancel_request() called on this request.
       EVREQ_HTTP_DATA_TOO_LONG
              Body is greater then evhttp_connection_set_max_body_size()
Function Documentation
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_accept_socket (struct evhttp * http,
       evutil_socket_t fd)
       Makes an HTTP server accept connections on the specified socket. This
       may be useful to create a socket and then fork multiple instances of an
       http server, or when a socket has been communicated via file descriptor
       passing in situations where an http servers does not have permissions
       to bind to a low-numbered port.
       Can be called multiple times to have the http server listen to multiple
       different sockets.
       Parameters:
           http a pointer to an evhttp object
           fd a socket fd that is ready for accepting connections
       Returns:
           0 on success, -1 on failure.
       See also:
           evhttp_bind_socket()
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct evhttp_bound_socket*
       evhttp_accept_socket_with_handle (struct evhttp * http, evutil_socket_t
       fd)
       Like evhttp_accept_socket(), but returns a handle for referencing the
       socket. The returned pointer is not valid after http is freed.
       Parameters:
           http a pointer to an evhttp object
           fd a socket fd that is ready for accepting connections
       Returns:
           Handle for the socket on success, NULL on failure.

           evhttp_accept_socket(), evhttp_del_accept_socket()
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_add_header (struct evkeyvalq * headers,
       const char * key, const char * value)
       Adds a header to a list of existing headers.
       Parameters:
           headers the evkeyvalq object to which to add a header
           key the name of the header
           value the value belonging to the header
       Returns:
           0 on success, -1 otherwise.

           evhttp_find_header(), evhttp_clear_headers()
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_add_server_alias (struct evhttp * http,
       const char * alias)
       Add a server alias to an http object. The http object can be a virtual
       host or the main server.
       Parameters:
           http the evhttp object
           alias the alias to add
       See also:
           evhttp_add_remove_alias()
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_add_virtual_host (struct evhttp * http,
       const char * pattern, struct evhttp * vhost)
       Adds a virtual host to the http server. A virtual host is a newly
       initialized evhttp object that has request callbacks set on it via
       evhttp_set_cb() or evhttp_set_gencb(). It most not have any listing
       sockets associated with it.
       If the virtual host has not been removed by the time that evhttp_free()
       is called on the main http server, it will be automatically freed, too.
       It is possible to have hierarchical vhosts. For example: A vhost with
       the pattern *.example.com may have other vhosts with patterns
       foo.example.com and bar.example.com associated with it.
       Parameters:
           http the evhttp object to which to add a virtual host
           pattern the glob pattern against which the hostname is matched. The
           match is case insensitive and follows otherwise regular shell
           matching.
           vhost the virtual host to add the regular http server.
       Returns:
           0 on success, -1 on failure

       The most low-level evhttp_bind/accept method: takes an evconnlistener,
       and returns an evhttp_bound_socket. The listener will be freed when the
       bound socket is freed.

       If you created this bound socket with evhttp_bind_socket_with_handle or
       evhttp_accept_socket_with_handle, this function closes the fd you
       provided. If you created this bound socket with evhttp_bind_listener,
       this function frees the listener you provided.
       bound_socket is an invalid pointer after this call returns.

       alphanumeric characters, hyphen, dot, underscore, and tilde.
       The returned string must be freed by the caller.
       Parameters:
           str an unencoded string

           evhttp_add_virtual_host()
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_request_free (struct evhttp_request * req)
       Frees the request object and removes associated events.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct evhttp_connection*
       evhttp_request_get_connection (struct evhttp_request * req)
       Returns the connection object associated with the request or NULL. The
       user needs to either free the request explicitly or call
       evhttp_send_reply_end().
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL const char* evhttp_request_get_host (struct
       evhttp_request * req)
       Returns the host associated with the request. If a client sends an
       absolute URI, the host part of that is preferred. Otherwise, the input
       headers are searched for a Host: header. NULL is returned if no
       absolute URI or Host: header is provided.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct evhttp_request* evhttp_request_new
       (void(*)(struct evhttp_request *, void *) cb, void * arg)
       Creates a new request object that needs to be filled in with the
       request parameters. The callback is executed when the request completed
       or an error occurred.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_request_own (struct evhttp_request * req)
       Takes ownership of the request object. Can be used in a request
       callback to keep onto the request until evhttp_request_free() is
       explicitly called by the user.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_request_set_chunked_cb (struct
       evhttp_request *, void(*)(struct evhttp_request *, void *) cb)
       Enable delivery of chunks to requestor.
       Parameters:
           cb will be called after every read of data with the same argument
           as the completion callback. Will never be called on an empty
           response. May drain the input buffer; it will be drained
           automatically on return.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_request_set_error_cb (struct
       evhttp_request *, void(*)(enum evhttp_request_error, void *))
       Set a callback for errors.
       See also:
           evhttp_request_error for error types.
       On error, both the error callback and the regular callback will be
       called, error callback is called before the regular callback.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_request_set_header_cb (struct
       evhttp_request *, int(*)(struct evhttp_request *, void *) cb)
       Register callback for additional parsing of request headers.
       Parameters:
           cb will be called after receiving and parsing the full header. It
           allows analyzing the header and possibly closing the connection by
           returning a value < 0.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_request_set_on_complete_cb (struct
       evhttp_request * req, void(*)(struct evhttp_request *, void *) cb, void
       * cb_arg)
       Set a callback to be called on request completion of evhttp_send_*
       function. The callback function will be called on the completion of the
       request after the output data has been written and before the
       evhttp_request object is destroyed. This can be useful for tracking
       resources associated with a request (ex: timing metrics).
       Parameters:
           req a request object
           cb callback function that will be called on request completion
           cb_arg an additional context argument for the callback
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_send_error (struct evhttp_request * req,
       int error, const char * reason)
       Send an HTML error message to the client.
       Parameters:
           req a request object
           error the HTTP error code
           reason a brief explanation of the error. If this is NULL, we'll
           just use the standard meaning of the error code.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_send_reply (struct evhttp_request * req,
       int code, const char * reason, struct evbuffer * databuf)
       Send an HTML reply to the client. The body of the reply consists of the
       data in databuf. After calling evhttp_send_reply() databuf will be
       empty, but the buffer is still owned by the caller and needs to be
       deallocated by the caller if necessary.
       Parameters:
           req a request object
           code the HTTP response code to send
           reason a brief message to send with the response code
           databuf the body of the response
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_send_reply_chunk (struct evhttp_request *
       req, struct evbuffer * databuf)
       Send another data chunk as part of an ongoing chunked reply. The reply
       chunk consists of the data in databuf. After calling
       evhttp_send_reply_chunk() databuf will be empty, but the buffer is
       still owned by the caller and needs to be deallocated by the caller if
       necessary.
       Parameters:
           req a request object
           databuf the data chunk to send as part of the reply.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_send_reply_chunk_with_cb (struct
       evhttp_request *, struct evbuffer *, void(*)(struct evhttp_connection
       *, void *) cb, void * arg)
       Send another data chunk as part of an ongoing chunked reply. The reply
       chunk consists of the data in databuf. After calling
       evhttp_send_reply_chunk() databuf will be empty, but the buffer is
       still owned by the caller and needs to be deallocated by the caller if
       necessary.
       Parameters:
           req a request object
           databuf the data chunk to send as part of the reply.
           cb callback funcion
           call back's argument.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_send_reply_end (struct evhttp_request *
       req)
       Complete a chunked reply, freeing the request as appropriate.
       Parameters:
           req a request object
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_send_reply_start (struct evhttp_request *
       req, int code, const char * reason)
       Initiate a reply that uses Transfer-Encoding chunked. This allows the
       caller to stream the reply back to the client and is useful when either
       not all of the reply data is immediately available or when sending very
       large replies.
       The caller needs to supply data chunks with evhttp_send_reply_chunk()
       and complete the reply by calling evhttp_send_reply_end().
       Parameters:
           req a request object
           code the HTTP response code to send
           reason a brief message to send with the response code
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_set_allowed_methods (struct evhttp * http,
       ev_uint16_t methods)
       Sets the what HTTP methods are supported in requests accepted by this
       server, and passed to user callbacks. If not supported they will
       generate a '405 Method not allowed' response.
       By default this includes the following methods: GET, POST, HEAD, PUT,
       DELETE
       Parameters:
           http the http server on which to set the methods
           methods bit mask constructed from evhttp_cmd_type values
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_set_bevcb (struct evhttp * http, struct
       bufferevent *(*)(struct event_base *, void *) cb, void * arg)
       Set a callback used to create new bufferevents for connections to a
       given evhttp object. You can use this to override the default
       bufferevent type -- for example, to make this evhttp object use SSL
       bufferevents rather than unencrypted ones.
       New bufferevents must be allocated with no fd set on them.
       Parameters:
           http the evhttp server object for which to set the callback
           cb the callback to invoke for incoming connections
           arg an context argument for the callback
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_set_cb (struct evhttp * http, const char *
       path, void(*)(struct evhttp_request *, void *) cb, void * cb_arg)
       Set a callback for a specified URI.
       Parameters:
           http the http sever on which to set the callback
           path the path for which to invoke the callback
           cb the callback function that gets invoked on requesting path
           cb_arg an additional context argument for the callback
       Returns:
           0 on success, -1 if the callback existed already, -2 on failure
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_set_default_content_type (struct evhttp *
       http, const char * content_type)
       Set the value to use for the Content-Type header when none was
       provided. If the content type string is NULL, the Content-Type header
       will not be automatically added.
       Parameters:
           http the http server on which to set the default content type
           content_type the value for the Content-Type header
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_set_flags (struct evhttp * http, int flags)
       Set connection flags for HTTP server.
       See also:
           EVHTTP_SERVER_*
       Returns:
           0 on success, otherwise non zero (for example if flag doesn't
           supported).
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_set_gencb (struct evhttp * http,
       void(*)(struct evhttp_request *, void *) cb, void * arg)
       Set a callback for all requests that are not caught by specific
       callbacks. Invokes the specified callback for all requests that do not
       match any of the previously specified request paths. This is catchall
       for requests not specifically configured with evhttp_set_cb().
       Parameters:
           http the evhttp server object for which to set the callback
           cb the callback to invoke for any unmatched requests
           arg an context argument for the callback
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_set_max_body_size (struct evhttp * http,
       ev_ssize_t max_body_size)
       XXX Document.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_set_max_headers_size (struct evhttp *
       http, ev_ssize_t max_headers_size)
       XXX Document.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_set_timeout (struct evhttp * http, int
       timeout_in_secs)
       Set the timeout for an HTTP request.
       Parameters:
           http an evhttp object
           timeout_in_secs the timeout, in seconds
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_set_timeout_tv (struct evhttp * http,
       const struct timeval * tv)
       Set the timeout for an HTTP request.
       Parameters:
           http an evhttp object
           tv the timeout, or NULL
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_uri_free (struct evhttp_uri * uri)
       Free all memory allocated for a parsed uri. Only use this for URIs
       generated by evhttp_uri_parse.
       Parameters:
           uri container with parsed data
       See also:
           evhttp_uri_parse()
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL const char* evhttp_uri_get_host (const struct
       evhttp_uri * uri)
       Return the host part of an evhttp_uri, or NULL if it has no host set.
       The host may either be a regular hostname (conforming to the RFC 3986
       'regname' production), or an IPv4 address, or the empty string, or a
       bracketed IPv6 address, or a bracketed 'IP-Future' address.
       Note that having a NULL host means that the URI has no authority
       section, but having an empty-string host means that the URI has an
       authority section with no host part. For example,
       'mailto:user@example.com' has a host of NULL, but 'file:///etc/motd'
       has a host of ''.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_uri_get_port (const struct evhttp_uri *
       uri)
       Return the port part of an evhttp_uri, or -1 if there is no port set.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL const char* evhttp_uri_get_scheme (const struct
       evhttp_uri * uri)
       Return the scheme of an evhttp_uri, or NULL if there is no scheme has
       been set and the evhttp_uri contains a Relative-Ref.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL char* evhttp_uri_join (struct evhttp_uri * uri, char *
       buf, size_t limit)
       Join together the uri parts from parsed data to form a URI-Reference.
       Note that no escaping of reserved characters is done on the members of
       the evhttp_uri, so the generated string might not be a valid URI unless
       the members of evhttp_uri are themselves valid.
       Parameters:
           uri container with parsed data
           buf destination buffer
           limit destination buffer size
       Returns:
           an joined uri as string or NULL on error
       See also:
           evhttp_uri_parse()
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct evhttp_uri* evhttp_uri_parse_with_flags (const
       char * source_uri, unsigned flags)
       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
       scheme://[[userinfo]@]foo.com[:port]]/[path][?query][#fragment]
       and relative-refs like
       [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.
       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.
       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. Nevertheless, all
       of these URLs conform to RFC3986, and this function accepts all of them
       as valid.
       Parameters:
           source_uri the request URI
           flags Zero or more EVHTTP_URI_* flags to affect the behavior of the
           parser.
       Returns:
           uri container to hold parsed data, or NULL if there is error
       See also:
           evhttp_uri_free()
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void evhttp_uri_set_flags (struct evhttp_uri * uri,
       unsigned flags)
       Changes the flags set on a given URI. See EVHTTP_URI_* for a list of
       flags.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_uri_set_fragment (struct evhttp_uri * uri,
       const char * fragment)
       Set the fragment of an evhttp_uri, or clear the fragment if
       fragment==NULL. The fragment should not include a leading '#'. Returns
       0 on success, -1 if fragment is not well-formed.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_uri_set_host (struct evhttp_uri * uri,
       const char * host)
       Set the host of an evhttp_uri, or clear the host if host==NULL. Returns
       0 on success, -1 if host is not well-formed.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_uri_set_path (struct evhttp_uri * uri,
       const char * path)
       Set the path of an evhttp_uri, or clear the path if path==NULL. Returns
       0 on success, -1 if path is not well-formed.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_uri_set_port (struct evhttp_uri * uri, int
       port)
       Set the port of an evhttp_uri, or clear the port if port==-1. Returns 0
       on success, -1 if port is not well-formed.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_uri_set_query (struct evhttp_uri * uri,
       const char * query)
       Set the query of an evhttp_uri, or clear the query if query==NULL. The
       query should not include a leading '?'. Returns 0 on success, -1 if
       query is not well-formed.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_uri_set_scheme (struct evhttp_uri * uri,
       const char * scheme)
       Set the scheme of an evhttp_uri, or clear the scheme if scheme==NULL.
       Returns 0 on success, -1 if scheme is not well-formed.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int evhttp_uri_set_userinfo (struct evhttp_uri * uri,
       const char * userinfo)
       Set the userinfo of an evhttp_uri, or clear the userinfo if
       userinfo==NULL. Returns 0 on success, -1 if userinfo is not well-
       formed.
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL char* evhttp_uridecode (const char * uri, int
       decode_plus, size_t * size_out)
       Helper function to decode a URI-escaped string or HTTP parameter. If
       'decode_plus' is 1, then we decode the string as an HTTP parameter
       value, and convert all plus ('+') characters to spaces. If
       'decode_plus' is 0, we leave all plus characters unchanged.
       The returned string must be freed by the caller.
       Parameters:
           uri a URI-encode encoded URI
           decode_plus determines whether we convert '+' to space.
           size_out if size_out is not NULL, *size_out is set to the size of
           the returned string
       Returns:
           a newly allocated unencoded URI or NULL on failure
   EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL char* evhttp_uriencode (const char * str, ev_ssize_t
       size, int space_to_plus)
       As evhttp_encode_uri, but if 'size' is nonnegative, treat the string as
       being 'size' bytes long. This allows you to encode strings that may
       contain 0-valued bytes.
       The returned string must be freed by the caller.
       Parameters:
           str an unencoded string
           size the length of the string to encode, or -1 if the string is
           NUL-terminated
           space_to_plus if true, space characters in 'str' are encoded as +,
           not %20.
       Returns:
           a newly allocate URI-encoded string, or NULL on failure.
