NAME

       Perlbal::XS::HTTPHeaders - Perlbal extension for processing HTTP headers.

SYNOPSIS

         use HTTPHeaders;

         my $hdr = Perlbal::XS::HTTPHeaders->new("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nConnection: keep-alive\r\n\r\n");
         if ($hdr->getMethod == M_GET()) {
           print "GET: ", $hdr->getURI(), "\n";
           print "Connection: ", $hdr->getHeader('Connection'), "\n";
         }

DESCRIPTION

       This module is used to read HTTP headers from a string and to parse them into an internal
       storage format for easy access and modification.  You can also ask the module to
       reconstitute the headers into one big string, useful if you're writing a proxy and need to
       read and write headers while maintaining the ability to modify individual parts of the
       whole.

       The goal is to be fast.  This is a lot faster than doing all of the text processing in
       Perl directly, and a lot of the flexibility of Perl is maintained by implementing the
       library in Perl and descending from Perlbal::HTTPHeaders.
