The REST API now supports the If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since,
If-Match and If-None-Match headers and returns the correct response if the
conditional fails.
Added tests for the date parsing and expanded the HTTP header tests in the
REST API test suite.
The HTTP side of the REST API is better handled with an actual
library. The libmicrohttpd library provides a convenient way of handling
the HTTP traffic between the clients and MaxScale.
The resource handler system is now usable but it doesn't perform anything
useful. Although, this will allows it to be tested for correctness.
Minor fixes to HttpResponse output and renaming of functions.
When a client requests a resource, the HttpRequest class now splits the
requested resource into parts. This should help with the resource
validation and navigation.
Added test that checks that the resources are correctly split into the
correct number of arguments and that the argument contents are correct.
The options of a request are now parsed and exposed by the HttpRequest
class.
Added tests for the request options.
Also added missing error handling of invalid requests.
The class now generates default headers. The ETag and Last-Modified tags
do not represent any actual modification time or resource hash.
The basic functionality of the HTTP responses is tested by the core test
suite. More advanced testing of the whole REST API is still required.
Removed the static `create` functions as only the JSON parsing version
could generated errors and even then the errors were unlikely. By
replacing the static creator function with a normal constructor, the
HttpResponse class can now also be created on the stack making its use
easier.
The HTTP request body is expected to be a valid JSON object. All other
requests are considered malformed requests and result in a HTTP 400 error.
Added the Jansson license to the LICENSE-THIRDPARTY.TXT file. Imported
some of the tests from the Jansson test suite to the HttpParser test.
The HttpParser class was renamed to HttpRequest as it parses and processes
only HTTP requests. A second class that creates a HTTP response needs to
be created to handle the response generation.
Moved some of the HTTP constants and helper functions to a separate
http.hh header.
