LibHTP

Copyright 2009-2010 Open Information Security Foundation Copyright 2010-2013 Qualys, Inc.

LibHTP is a security-aware parser for the HTTP protocol and the related bits and pieces. The goal of the project is mainly to support the Suricata use case. Other use cases might not fully be supported, and we encourage you to cover these.

| STATUS | | We are currently in the process of migrating LibHTP to a Rust version and thus | support will be discontinued.

INSTALLATION

Assuming you're using an already packaged version of LibHTP, the installation process should be as simple as:

$ sudo chmod u+x autogen.sh $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install

If you've retrieved your LibHTP directly from the repository, you will need to perform the following steps first:

1. Update the version number in VERSION.

2. Run autogen.sh, which will update the build system.

DOCUMENTATION

The best documentation at this time is the code itself and the Doxygen output (which should be all right). There's also a quick start guide in the doc/ folder, which should give you enough information to get going.
