How to get HTTP verb? (GET, POST, PUT, HEAD, PATCH)

[SamuelMarks]

The closest I've gotten is the header output (https://github.com/SamuelMarks/node.native/blob/master/routes.h#L54):

$ http localhost:8080/headers
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 141
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "headers": [
        {
            "Accept": "*/*"
        }, 
        {
            "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, compress"
        }, 
        {
            "Host": "localhost:8080"
        }, 
        {
            "User-Agent": "HTTPie/0.8.0"
        }
    ]
}

How do I get the HTTP verb?

Hi there.

My fork of node.native adds the ability to get the HTTP body (the body of your POST).

I think you could get the HTTP method by adding code in client_context::parse which will get the method from the http_parser - this has a method attribute which is set in http_parser_execute(). http_parser is one of node.native's submodules.

Cheers,

Seb

Hi Samuel, how did you get on with this one?

[SamuelMarks]

Didn't get around to it; TBH: I have moved away from C++ now for my web development, namely due to:

• Segfault when using JSON() in routes.h
• Linker errors when separating routes.h into routes.h and routes.cc
• No built-in access to HTTP verbs
• CMake build not included

Fair enough - you have to do a bit of hacking to use node.native, and that won't appeal to everyone. If you could close this issue, that'd be good.
