Ulm's Oberon Library:
HTTPConversions

NAME

HTTPConversions - HTTP converting tools

SYNOPSIS

TYPE DateStr = ARRAY 34 OF CHAR; (* max. length of all possible dates *)



PROCEDURE ToHTTPDate(date: Times.Time; VAR httpDate: DateStr);
PROCEDURE FromHTTPDate(httpDate: Streams.Stream; date: Times.Time): BOOLEAN;
PROCEDURE Base64Decode(in: Streams.Stream; VAR out: ARRAY OF CHAR): BOOLEAN;

DESCRIPTION

The procedures of HTTPConversions simplifies converting HTTP structures and Oberon structures.

ToHTTPDate converts an oberon time stamp into a string with a valid date (RFC1123) for the HTTP-protocol. FromHTTPDate does it vice versa. Every allowed version of a HTTP-date is recognized. FromHTTPDate returns FALSE if httpDate is not a valid HTTP-date.

Base64Decode transforms a base-64-encoded stream to normal ASCII-code. It will return FALSE if out isn't large enough to store the data.
