Details on HTTP request object

Hi Sven,

Thanks - I do show URL being used in the examples for a web server, but the current solution isn't great. I've just found that in node you can do url.parse(req.url,true) which should give you all the info you need (http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/url.ht­ml). While Espruino has this implemented, it doesn't parse the query string, which is what you need. I've created a bug for this and hopefully I'll get around to fixing it soon.

In the mean time, you can try something like this:

function parseURL(url) {
  var idx = url.indexOf("?");
  var map = {};
  if (idx>=0) {
    var args = url.substr(idx+1).split("&");
    for (var n in args) {
      var arg = args[n];
      var eq = arg.indexOf("=");
      if (eq<0) eg=arg.length;
      map[arg.substr(0,eq)] = arg.substr(eq+1);
    }
  }
  return map;
}

parseURL("/hello?key=val&foo=bar&somethi­ng");
// ={"key":"val","foo":"bar","something":''­}
