t.w.http_headers : module documentation

Capitalize a string, making sure to treat - as a word seperator

Convert an HTTP date string (one of three formats) to seconds since epoch.

Tokenize a string according to normal HTTP header parsing rules.

In particular:

• Whitespace is irrelevant and eaten next to special separator tokens. Its existance (but not amount) is important between character strings.
• Quoted string support including embedded backslashes.
• Case is insignificant (and thus lowercased), except in quoted strings. (unless foldCase=False)
• Multiple headers are concatenated with ','

NOTE: not all headers can be parsed with this function.

Takes a raw header value (list of strings), and Returns a generator of strings and Token class instances.

The same as str.split but works on arbitrary sequences. Too bad it's not builtin to python!

Filter out instances of Token, leaving only a list of strings.

Used instead of a more specific parsing method (e.g. splitting on commas) when only strings are expected, so as to be a little lenient.

Apache does it this way and has some comments about broken clients which forget commas (?), so I'm doing it the same way. It shouldn't hurt anything, in any case.

Return a function which applies 'fun' to every element in the comma-separated list

Return seq[-1]

Quote a string according to the rules for the quoted-string production in RFC 2616 section 2.2.

Parameters	s	(type: str )
Returns	(type: str )

Return a function which applies 'fun' to every element in the given list, then joins the result with generateList

Format an iterable of key/value pairs.

Although each header in HTTP 1.1 redefines the grammar for the formatting of its parameters, the grammar defined by almost all headers conforms to the specification given in RFC 2046. Note also that RFC 2616 section 19.2 note 2 points out that many implementations fail if the value is quoted, therefore this function only quotes the value when it is necessary.

Parameters	parameters	An iterable of tuple of a str parameter name and str or None parameter value which will be formated.
Returns	The formatted result. (type: str )

Parse a content-range header into (kind, start, end, realLength).

realLength might be None if real length is not known ('*'). start and end might be None if start,end unspecified (for response code 416)

tup is (type, start, end, len) len can be None.

Convert seconds since epoch to HTTP datetime string.

Bleargh, the cookie spec sucks. This surely needs interoperability testing. There are two specs that are supported: Version 0) http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html Version 1) http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2965.html
