How can we parse HTTP response header fields using Qt/C++?

Frage
I am writing a piece of software that uses Qt/KDE libs. The objective is to parse the HTTP header response fields into different fields of a struct. So far the HTTP header response is contained in a QString.
It looks something like this:
"HTTP/1.1 302 Found
date: Tue, 05 Jun 2012 07:40:16 GMT
server: Apache/2.2.22 (Linux/SUSE)
x-prefix: 49.244.80.0/21
x-as: 23752
x-mirrorbrain-mirror: mirror.averse.net
x-mirrorbrain-realm: region

content-length: 329

In addition to the custom fields there might be few more fields in the header response. The only possible way that I came up was to manually search for the fields like "link", "digest" and others and create a QMap with the fields as keys.However, I guess there must be a better way to do this. I would be thankful to you if you could help me.
Lösung
The HTTP header should initially be in a QByteArray
(because it is in ASCII, not UTF-16), but the method would be the same with a QString
:
- split the header line by line,
- split each line at the colon character,
- trim any white spaces (regular spaces and
'\r'
characters) around the 2 resulting strings before storing them.
QByteArray httpHeaders = ...;
QMap<QByteArray, QByteArray> headers;
// Discard the first line
httpHeaders = httpHeaders.mid(httpHeaders.indexOf('\n') + 1).trimmed();
foreach(QByteArray line, httpHeaders.split('\n')) {
int colon = line.indexOf(':');
QByteArray headerName = line.left(colon).trimmed();
QByteArray headerValue = line.mid(colon + 1).trimmed();
headers.insertMulti(headerName, headerValue);
}
