Re: Enhancement request for HEADERR4 module

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Thomas,

My problem with this proposal is that it would really only work for the 
content-type header.  Each header has it's own structure, different from 
the others.

The existing http_header() routine is designed to return the string that 
corresponds to a given header.  It does not make an attempt to parse the 
string, because the structure of the different headers is dissimilar. 
If you need to break up the content-type, I suggest having a 
http_getContentType() routine (which certainly can be put in HEADERR4) 
that has logic specifically designed for the content-type header.
