HTTP messages (requests and responses) have a header section that can contain
HTTP headers. These headers consist of name, value pairs. This class can be
used to query the headers on a response, and build a list of headers for a
request.
The internal implementation is designed around two different methods of storing
the underlying data. For HTTP requests, the name, value pairs are stored as
owned BString objects. For responses, the assumption is that there is a byte
buffer that contains the data and that has the same lifetime as the BHttpFields
object. The name, value pairs will then be stored as std::string_view to the
underlying buffer.
Still to do is:
- The method to convert a BHttpFields list into a string buffer to transmit.
- The method to parse a string buffer and turn it into a BHttpFields object.
