Missing parsing of "authority" and "scheme" in request

[patrickjane]

According to evhtp.h, the evhtp_uri struct contains a evhtp_authority_t struct, which in turn contains data about

• username
• password
• hostname
• port

However, this struct seems to be unused, with the members beeing empty during my tests. Also, in evhtp.c I can see that this struct will not get filled.

I this indented, or am I missing something? How am I supposed to get information about username/password? There is no other member in the structs/request object which holds this information, as far as I can see. For the host/port, I will be able to parse it myself since the "Host" HTTP header can be retrieved without problems.

Also, the scheme member of the evhtp_uri struct will always be set to htp_scheme_none, although I am definitely using HTTP.

I am using libevhtp version 1.2.16.

sorry for the late reply; been dealing with hurricane stuff.

You're 100% correct, it doesn't seem like authority, even though it's parsed, is placed anywhere that is useful.

let me do some planning on this one and get back to you.

Cheers!

Meanwhile I was able to parse the above properties in my implementation using the corresponding HTTP headers (Host for hostname/port, Authorization for username/password).

However out-of-the-box functionality in libevhtp would still be appreciated.
