How can i get entity headers

Tonyf

Dear All,

i appreciate your hints to the following:
a client is sending an URL to the server f.e. "GET /index.php?info&id=xxxxxxx&comp=AL......"
With QUERY_STRING i can extract the command (info) and all other parameters (id,comp...).
The client sends a command create&id=xxxxx$comp..... and immediately some entity headers with infos like x-comp: data; content-type: application/xxx; ..... and immediatley the data.
Again i can filter the command and the parameters. But pls how to get all following entity headres and the data.
I tried with several functions like getallheaders() .... I need to parse the entity headers.
I have PHP4,Apache.
Thanks a lot for your help !

Regards,
Tony

in php5 you can use [man]headers_list[/man]

you'll probably need to explain further or post some (relevant) code to get a better solution

Dear Adam,

Thanks for your reply.
I give you more info:

Here is an extract of a port scanner program, which captures the data from the client:

POST /test.php?create&contRep=T1&docId=40AB HTTP/1.0

Content-type:multipart/form-data; boundary=KoZIhvcNAQcB
Connection: close
Content-Length: 5216

--KoZIhvcNAQcB
Content-Disposition: form-data; filename="data"
X-compId: data
Content-Type: application/x-test
Content-Length: 4919

data data data ...........

As you can see after the request headers the entity headers follow then the data.
I need to parse the entity headers (data properties) and save the actual data in a file.
Can apache pass these infos to the php script !

Any idea.
Thanks again

i don't think so, as it's just a data stream - what you can do instead is detect the lines that contain a :, then seperate these out

// $headers is an array to store our headers
$headers = array();

// $stream is your text data
$lines = explode("\n", $stream);

// lines is now an array, each containing a line of the string

// take each line at a time
foreach($line as $singleline){

// pick out the lines that contain ": "
if(stristr($singleline, ": ")){

// split the line into two around ": "
$parts = explode(": ", $singleline);

// put the header into the array
$headers[] = $parts[1];

}
}

hope that helps
