I have been successfully using pion 1.0.16 in a project up to this day, but have now run into an isssue. I am running a WebServer and have some classes registered as handlers for given URI's which implement the WebService contract.

One of these request handlers receives a large file as a PUT operation. The sender of this file sends it as chunked data. I am trying to figure out how to parse that chunked data, to iterate over all of the chunks and stream them out to the file I'm storing to disk.

The documentation is quite sparse in this area.. from just looking around I believe I am supposed to be using the HTTPRequestReader class and calling parse on it with my HTTPRequest object that I receive from the operator()() call in my WebService. When I call that and then turn around and call any of the methods about how many bytes were read or are available, they all return 0.

I also noticed that the HTTPRequest object I have already contains a few functions such as isChunked() (which returns true in my case), getChunksSupported(), and getChunkCache() but based on what those return it looks like they're only there to support the HTTPRequestReader's parsing.

So, the bottom line is I don't understand how the HTTPRequestReader is meant to be used to iterate over the chunks.

Most of the other classes I have been able to figure out how to use because of the unit test suite, but there is nothing in the unit test suite about HTTPRequestReader or parsing chunked data (I found a little class which sends chunked data but that doesn't help me here).

Could someone please provide a quick and dirty pseudocode about what steps I need to take to iterate over all the data chunks? Again, I am starting with a HTTPRequestPtr object.

Thanks!
