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 admin thread now uses blocking IO. This is not optimal but it
simplifies the code by some amount.
Fixed option processing removing one extra character from key name.
Use correct member variable when checking for the option map end.
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 HTTP response class simplifies the response creation. The next step is
to add generation of all the default headers that are needed by the REST
API.
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.
