DD32, jacobsantos, review? Need to lose the CamelCase in the var names. WP uses underscores.

#2 @Denis-de-Bernardy

  • Keywords commit added; needs-review removed

Updated the patch to use underscores, and added a check on the header array's size.

@Ryan: His point is valid. I've used similar code to parse email headers in a separate app a few years back.

#3 @DD32

Sorry, Didnt see this ticket for review.

First code chunk: (status location changed)

  • Not sure if this is going to work correctly with proxies, I think it was in the loop for a reason, To catch the last status header rather than the first one (Which is often a proxy header)

Second code chunk: (Multiline headers)

  • Looks good to me, Pretty sure it was just something jacob didnt feel like doing, no technical reason as such
  • I'd get rid of the temp var myself, and use if ( in_array($headers[$i]{0}, array(' ', "\t")) ) { instead, but thats just me. s/$c/$headers[$i]{0}/g is another option
  • How's the trimming going to affect headers which have whitespace? (Or is that against spec?
    Header: Some Value.. Now 4 spaces:  
       Now some more text
    
    • It might be better to base that off a .= substr($string, 1) ?

new patch. the RFC is not _that_ complex. i just decided to go into the normalization of the headers upfront before splitting. that makes handling easier afterwards.

i was very strict to the rfc and therefore changed to propper CRLF tolerant parsing. that might be questionable but since this ticket was dedicated to the RFC voila.

unfolding upfront makes much more sense to me. just for the quote from 2.2:

HTTP/1.1 header field values can be folded onto multiple lines if the continuation line begins with a space or horizontal tab. All linear white space, including folding, has the same semantics as SP. A recipient MAY replace any linear white space with a single SP before interpreting the field value or forwarding the message downstream.

because DD32 questioned the location status logic i kept it out.

#8 @ryan

wnorris, do these patches work for you?

#9 @Denis-de-Bernardy
16 years ago

@ryan: in case wnorris doesn't reply back soon, I ran into similar issues in a separate piece of php software. I needed to parse emails and stick their content into a blog.

If you open an email's headers, you'll occasionally see things such as:

header name: values go a first line

more values go on a second line

the patch deals with those cases.
