Question

I am looking for HTTP parsing library for C/C++.
I have looked curl library, but it seems it is a http client library.
I am looking for a library which parses HTTP header (e.g. a way to
get the query string, get cookie, get request url, get Post Data)?

Thank you.

Check out libebb, it has a parser generated with Ragel using the easy yet powerful PEG (it’s based on Zed Shaw’s mongrel parser)

libebb is a lightweight HTTP server library for C. It lays the
foundation for writing a web server by providing the socket juggling
and request parsing. By implementing the HTTP/1.1 grammar provided
in RFC2612, libebb understands most most valid HTTP/1.1 connections
(persistent, pipelined, and chunked requests included) and rejects
invalid or malicious requests. libebb supports SSL over HTTP.
