libc++ (the implementation of the C++ standard library usually used by
Clang) throws an exception for the regex used by parse_headers before
this patch for certain strings. Work around this by simplifying the
regex and parsing the header lines "by hand" partially. I have repro'd
this problem with Xcode 11.1 which I believe uses libc++ version 8.
This may be a bug in libc++ as I can't see why the regex would result in
asymptotic run-time complexity for any strings. However, it may take a
while for libc++ to be fixed and for everyone to migrate to it, so it
makes sense to work around it in this codebase for now.
HTTP Whitespace and regex whitespace are not the same, so we can't use
\s in regexes when parsing HTTP headers. Instead, explicitly specify
what is considered whitespace in the regex.
- This compliments the existing `bind_to_any_port()`
where you can determine if the bind succeeded prior
to calling `listen_after_bind()` but allows you to
specify the port.
While trying to implement streaming of internet radio, where a ContentReceiver is needed to handle the audio data, I had the problem, that important information about the stream data is part of the HTTP header (e.g. size of audio chunks between meta data), so I added a ResponseHandler and a new Get variant, to gain access to the header before handling the first chunk of data.
The ResponseHandler can abort the request by returning false, in the same way as the ContentReceiver.
A test case was also added.
