------------------------------
Fix Version/s: sometime
> Generic config file parsing that works
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: TS-4505
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4505
> Project: Traffic Server
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Cleanup, Core, Management API
> Reporter: James Peach
> Fix For: sometime
>
>
> We have a big mess in config file parsing.
> The management API uses {{./mgmt/api/GenericParser.*}} to parse mostly
> generic key=value syntax, but nothing calls those APIs. We should remove them.
> Internally, other files are parsed by hand (each with a different set of
> bugs) or by using {{parseConfigLine}}, which was not really intended for
> generic parsing and has a kind of crappy interface.
> What we need is to nuke all this code and have a single interface for parsing
> files sanely. The top level parser maps a file and emits a stream of lines.
> This should support comments, empty line elision and line continuations. Each
> line should come with a {{SourceLocation}} object for error messages. The
> stream of lines is consumed by a key=value tokenizer that each subsystem
> digests. This would be broadly similar to the {{GenericParser}} stuff.
