### Methods

error? execute finish finished? new nread reset

### Public Class methods

parser.new → parser

Creates a new parser.

     * call-seq:
     *    parser.new -> parser
     *
     * Creates a new parser.

    }

### Public Instance methods

parser.error? → true/false

Tells you whether the parser is in an error state.

     *    parser.error? -> true/false
     *
     * Tells you whether the parser is in an error state.

      http_parser *http = NULL;
      DATA_GET(self, http_parser, http);

      return http_parser_has_error(http) ? Qtrue : Qfalse;
    }

parser.execute(req_hash, data, start) → Integer

Takes a Hash and a String of data, parses the String of data filling in the Hash returning an Integer to indicate how much of the data has been read. No matter what the return value, you should call HttpParser#finished? and HttpParser#error? to figure out if it‘s done parsing or there was an error.

This function now throws an exception when there is a parsing error. This makes the logic for working with the parser much easier. You can still test for an error, but now you need to wrap the parser with an exception handling block.

The third argument allows for parsing a partial request and then continuing the parsing from that position. It needs all of the original data as well so you have to append to the data buffer as you read.

parser.finish → true/false

Finishes a parser early which could put in a "good" or bad state. You should call reset after finish it or bad things will happen.

Returns the amount of data processed so far during this processing cycle. It is set to 0 on initialize or reset calls and is incremented each time execute is called.

parser.reset → nil

Resets the parser to it‘s initial state so that you can reuse it rather than making new ones.
