Name

http_string_date, http_status_set, string_split — miscellaneous HTTP layer helpers

Synopsis

datetime http_string_date( in http_date varchar);
 
http_status_set( in status_code integer,
  in status_text varchar);
 
any string_split( in str varchar,
  in separator varchar);
 

Description

http_string_date parses an HTTP-formatted date string in any of the three RFC-allowed forms (RFC 1123, RFC 850 or ANSI C asctime) and returns the corresponding Virtuoso DATETIME in GMT. The inverse operation is date_rfc1123.

http_status_set replaces the status line that will be sent for the current request with the given numeric status_code (and optional human-readable status_text). The status set this way overrides the default 200 OK and any prior call to http_request_status.

string_split splits str at every occurrence of separator and returns the parts as a vector. Despite living in the HTTP module it is a general-purpose string-splitting helper.
