libapreq - Apache Request Library
What is it?
-----------
httpd-apreq (aka `apreq') is subproject of the Apache Server Project
whose membership (aka apreq's `committers') develops and maintains the
libapreq software library.
libapreq is a safe, standards-compliant, high-performance library
used for parsing HTTP cookies, query-strings and POST data. The
original version (libapreq-1) was designed by Lincoln Stein and Doug
MacEachern. The perl APIs Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie are the
lightweight mod_perl analogs of the CGI and CGI::Cookie perl modules.
The 2.0 version of libapreq is an improved version that's been
completely redesigned around Apache-2's input filter API. Here's
a brief list of new features:
* provides overridable parsers for "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"multipart/form-data", and in the future "application/xml" enctypes.
* accepts chunked POST data.
* Support for RFC-based Cookies.
* XForms?
