Every interface or implementation which operates on a templated
type Fields is evaluated to determine if basic_fields<Allocator>
is more appropriate, and changed if so.
* Container interface more closely matches std::vector
* While preserving the invariant that duplicate fields
with the same case-insensitive name have their order
preserved.
The verb interfaces now use verb::unknown instead of
boost::optional<verb> == boost::none to indicate that
the request-method is an unrecognized string.
The http::header interface is modified to focus more on the
verb enum rather than the string. For recognized verbs, the
implementation stores an integer instead of the string.
Unknown verbs are still stored as strings.
* header::method now returns a verb
* header::method_string returns the method text
fix#124
The http::header data members "method", "url", and "reason"
are changed from data members, to pairs of get and set
functions which forward the call to the Fields type used
to instantiate the template.
Previously, these data members were implemented using
std::string. With this change, the implementation of the
Fields type used to instantiate the template is now in
control of the representation of those values. This permits
custom memory allocation strategies including uniform use of
the Allocator type already provided to beast::http::basic_fields.
fix#195
This function returns `true` when the passed HTTP Request
indicates a WebSocket Upgrade. It does not validate the
contents of the fields: it just trivially accepts requests
which can only be a WebSocket Upgrade message.
Callers who wish to manually read HTTP requests in their
server implementation can use this function to determine if
the request should be routed to an instance of websocket::stream.
