Hi all,
I'm currently rewriting a small reddit client in awk.
(It was originally written in clojure in Q1 this year)
In the process I obviously need to make an http request.
The following function works well for now:
function request(domain, endpoint)
{
target = "/inet/tcp/0/" domain "/80"
payload = "GET " endpoint " HTTP/1.1" "\r\n" "Host: " domain ":80" "\r\n"
"User-Agent: gawk" "Connection:close" "\r\n\r\n"
print payload |& target
while ((target |& getline line) > 0)
response = response "\n" line
close(target)
return response
}
Note that this pads the response with one empty line both at the start and end.
The problem I'm facing now is an HTTP 301, since reddit happens to only support
https.
Before running off to implement a tls handshake I thought I'd first share my
progress.
Has anyone written any relevant ciphers for the tls?
