provide an `error_code` member about http-parser HOT 6 CLOSED

you can see where it failed by looking at the result of http_parser_execute()

wtf, that was fast. Doesn't http_parser_execute return the number of bytes parsed?

from http-parser.

yes, but it exits immediately if there was an error. so if http_parser_execute() < sizeof(buf) then there was an error (or an Upgrade). You can use this to point out where the error was - which is perhaps more useful than an error code.

hrm, I'd like to use the return values for indicating the reason why I made http-parser exit; for example after I got the request URL and figured out I want to answer with HTTP 404, it would be comfortable to simply return 404.

If I manually break parsing, I've got a reason to and I most probably want to communicate that reason back to the code that called http_parser_execute so that code can decide what steps to take next.

So please add this feature. :-)

You can communicate your state (or what action to take) to the code calling http_parser_execute() through your void *data object.
