TSMIMEHDRFIELDFIND(3ts)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to TSMimeHdrFieldFind — the TSMimeHdrFieldFind API function 💖 like, this is the lil function that goes hunting for a MIME header field and hands you back its location. iconic behavior honestly.

this whole page lives in the TSMIMEHDRFIELDFIND(3ts) corner of the Apache Traffic Server manual, and we're gonna walk through it together, no cap 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ts/ts.h>

TSMLoc TSMimeHdrFieldFind(TSMBuffer bufp, TSMLoc hdr, const char *name,
int length)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So what does she actually do? TSMimeHdrFieldFind() retrieves the TSMLoc location of a specified MIME field from within the MIME header located at hdr. like, you point at a header, you name a field, and she's like "got it, here's exactly where that lives" 🎀

The name and length parameters specify which field to retrieve. that's your lil search query, bestie — what field are we looking for, and how long is its name.

For each MIME field in the MIME header, a case insensitive string comparison is done between the field name and name. so don't stress about casing, she's not gonna be weird about it 💜

🫶 if TSMimeHdrFieldFind() cannot find the requested field, it returns TS_NULL_MLOC. so like, if you get that back, it's giving "not here, girl" 😭

and super important, do not forget: release the returned TSMLoc handle with a call to TSHandleMLocRelease(). clean up after yourself, that's main character energy ✨
