hedge is a simple PEG parser written in Treetop to parse HTTP requests into a data structure. It does not however implement the whole HTTP specification, so it is rather incomplete. It's just a little side project that might evolve into something serious one day.
It's tough to find a name for an HTTP parser, because there are already so many of them. The obvious 'httpparser' just leads to more confusion, so I chose a name that came to my mind when thinking about trees (because of treetop) and something with 'h' in it. It also didn't return anything when running 'gem search -r hedge'.
require 'polyglot'
require 'treetop'
require 'hedge/hedge.tt'
HedgeReqParser.new().parse(http_request)See spec_hedge.rb for more specific examples.
A gemspec file is included, so you can build and install hedge as a gem with:
gem build hedge.gemspec
gem install hedge-x.x.x.gem
