Previously...

• I decided to use a new, new plan.
• I analyzed the function handle_http_put in the existing code.
• I decided to skip further analysis and go straight to coding.

Coding up the ability to start up a new process, call ejabberd_http_bind:process_request and waiting for a reply proved very straight-forward.  The hard part is formatting the response for the client. 

According to wireshark, an HTTP response has the following form:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Length: 1961

Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type

content...

Each line must be terminated with a carriage-return, linefeed combination.  process_request actually returns most of the headers so the only work is formatting the first line, formatting the Content-Length line, and ensuring that everything uses the proper carriage-return/linefeed combos.


I am currently slogging through getting all the formatting correct.  Hopefully for next time I'll have something interesting to say.
