New functionality:

• #78: Control keep-alive behavior by calling res->setHeader("Connection", "close")
• #77: Normalize header names
• #72: Support for body parsers. See the HTML Forms example for usage
• #71: HTTPRequest supports getClientIP()
• #65: New interface to request and path parameters. Allows iterating over path parameters to retrive multi-value parameters

Bug fixes:

• #69: Treat + correctly during URL decoding

Breaking changes:

• HTTP header names are normalized for requests and responses: Each header name starts with a capital letter, all letters after a non-printable character are also capitalized, all other letters are converted to lower case.
  • If you want to retrieve header values:
    • Use Connection instead of connection
    • Use Content-Type instead of CONTENT-TYPE
• Interface to Request and URL parameters has changed
  • Former request paremters are now called query parameters
    • ResourceParameters::getRequestParameterInt() does no longer exist. Use std::atoi(str.c_str())
    • ResourceParameter::isRequestParameterSet() is now ResourceParameter::isQueryParameterSet()
    • std::string ResourceParameter::getRequestParameter(std::string const &name) is replaced by bool ResourceParameter::getQueryParameter(std::string const &name, std::string &val)
      • The return value reflects whether a request parameter was specified. The request parameter value is written to the second argument.
      • See issue #62 for mor details
    • getQueryParameter() will return the first occurence of a parameter with a given name (that did not change). You can access additional parameter values using the new ResourceParameters::beginQueryParameters() and ResourceParameters::endQueryParameters() functions (for a URL like /?foo=bar&foo=baz this will yield (foo, bar) and (foo, baz).
  • Former URL parameters are now called path parameters
    • ResourceParameters::getUrlParameterInt() does no longer exist. Use std::atoi(str._cstr())
    • std::string ResourceParameter::getURLParameter(std::string const &name) is now std::string ResourceParameter::getPathParameter(std::string const &name)
    • uint8_t HTTPNode::getUrlParamCount() is now size_t HTTPNode::getPathParamCount()

Bug Fixes:

• Issues regarding websockets (#58, #59)

New "Features" and other changes:

• Add HTTP Status Code 431 - Header too long
• Added doxgen documentation
• Some Typos
• Allow modification of HTTPSServerConstants using CFLAGS
• Configurable logging
• Use spaces everywhere

Bug Fixes:

• Clean close connections correctly when stopping the server
• Fix off-by-one error in number formatting (e.g. content-length)
• Close WebSockets properly when shutting down the server.
• Handle percent encoding of URL and request parameters.
• WebSocket example: Hostname instead of IP

Breaking Changes:

• (internal) HTTPConnection::clientError/serverError -> raiseError(code, reason)
