As a result of our previous discussions on how to add header fields to HTTP requests, I have added a simpler mechanism than what was currently there. This means that there now are three ways to add HTTP headers to libwww: 1. A simple association list 2. A stream oriented approach where the stream (called a generator) has direct access to the outgoing stream. That it, it can add any header it likes. 3. HTTP extension mechanism which is a much better way for handling extensions. Number 3 is the preferred but it is not fully implemented yet so please be patient (or help ;). See http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTReq.html#extra for details. At the same time I made the documentation on the request object more up-to-date: http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTReq.html You can get the diffs at http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libwww/Library/src/HTReq.html?rev=2.66&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libwww/Library/src/HTReqMan.c?rev=2.78&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libwww/Library/src/HTReqMan.html?rev=2.44&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libwww/Library/src/HTTPGen.c?rev=2.17&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup Description for how to recompile are at http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html#update Henrik -- Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/People/Frystyk
