[Libevent-users] [patch] parse noncompliant http headers

[Charles Kerr]

I've been adapting the bittorrent client Transmission to use libevent as 
its IO backend.  Unfortunately some of my users have reported that their 
trackers send noncompliant HTTP responses w.r.t using "\n" instead of 
"\r\n" as a line break.  svn r400's evhttp_parse_lines() can't handle 
this, which causes libevent's http response parsing to fail.

Attached is a patch to r400's evhttp_parse_lines() to handle nonstandard 
linebreaks gracefully by using evbuffer_readline().
