Re: input buffer?

Hi all,

	I figured it out. For anyone looking for the body of a POST
request in mathopd, here's how a function in C to get it easily.

NOTE: This function must be called AFTER process_headers(), preferably in
it's own code module, similar to how imap.c, dump.c, dummy.c, redirect.c
and cgi.c are set up.

<code>
/* get the POST body from the stream */
char *get_post_body (struct request *r)
{
	int rv, size;
	char *buffer;

	size = atoi (r->in_content_length);
        input_buffer = malloc (size);
        fcntl (r->cn->fd, F_SETFL, 0);
        rv = recv (r->cn->fd, input_buffer, size, MSG_PEEK);
        if (rv == -1)
        {
                switch (errno) {
                default:
			log_d (
			  "get_post_body: error reading from %d",
			  r->cn->ip);
			lerror ("recv");
		case ECONNRESET:
                	r->cn->action = HC_CLOSING;
                case EAGAIN:
                	return 0;
                }
        }
        if (rv == 0)
        {
                log_d ("get_post_body: body empty");
                r->cn->action = HC_CLOSING;
                return 0;
        }
	fcntl (r->cn->fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
	return buffer;
}
</code>

Hope this helps someone!
