HTTP - the proto, the API

very work in progress file.

---

GET/POST parameters

• ${get_data["param"]}
• ${post_data["param"]}

Case-insensitive. If K/V pairs aren't used (but a string is provided, just without =) then it can be accessed through ${get_data} / ${post_data} (array element 0).

Arrays

HTTP does arrays through concatenating multiple parameters with the same name. In our case, values are passed to a secondary array, and a reference to it is left for application use.

GET asdf/?a=1&a=2&a=3&b=1

will result in:

declare -A get_data=([b]="1" [a]="[array]" )

To get the value set out of an array, call http_array <param_name> <output_name>. For instance:

#!/bin/bash
if ! http_array a array; then
	echo "Not an array"
	return
fi

for (( i=0; i<${#array[@]}; i++ )) {
	echo "a[$i]=${array[i]}"
}
