Re: [libmicrohttpd] Repeated calls to MHD_AccessHandlerCallback

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi!

Yes, 'conCls' is guaranteed to be NULL on the first call (per request)
and whatever you left in it henceforth.  Also, 'url', 'method' and
'version' will always point to the same location in memory for the
duration of the request, and unless your application violates 'const'
they won't change.


Happy hacking!
