[wx-dev] wxHTTP rewrite?

[Falk Tristram]

Hi all,

as I am relatively new to this list, don't blame me if I missed some resources/articles about this topic, but the wx-wiki seems very empty about "HTTP" and "3.0.x-rewrite". So I am trying this way.


To short things up, wxHTTP is not beautiful :

1. To many magic-values

2. Code-Mixing

3. Name should be wxHTTPClient ?



My suggestion :

1. generic class wxHTTP, containing :

* Enumerations, all basic protocol stuff 
* Error/ErrorToString -Functions 


2. wxHTTPHeader derived from wxHTTP :

* Get/Set ..., ( so hopefully no need for (old) wxHTTP::SetHeader() )
* The QHttpHeader is a good inspiration, how it should be done.


3. wxHTTPMessage derived from wxHTTPHeader :

* The body ( data ) - body handling
*?De-/Serialization - Functions ; ?Compression deflate, gzip


4. wxHTTPClient, (wxHTTPServer) :

Rewrite to fit into the new structure.


This is a first draft, how it could be done. I am open for any suggestion!

Please tell me what the current project status is about this topic. Perhaps someone is already doing this.

PS: I going to wirte this code anyway, but it would be shame not to contribute it.
