Decoding HTTP requests

[Marc Balmer]

I am looking for code to decode HTTP PUT/GET/etc. requests, i.e.
breaking the request down to the variables that have been transmitted,
with proper (de)escaping etc., maybe with file upload capabilities.
Should be written in C and BSD/MIT licensed.

If you know of such a library, I'd be happy to learn of it.

(background: Trying to add RESTful services to httpd, using Lua to
handle the request. But I am missing the request decoding part)

tnx,
Marc

Maybe you can cut somthing out of libhttpd.c:httpd_parse_request() from:
http://acme.com/software/thttpd/

Maybe worth a look also:

You might look at libevent, likely libevent 2.0. It grew a bunch of
that kind of stuff after we imported 1.4.
