NAME
     zhttp_request - Class for zhttp server request.

SYNOPSIS
     //  This is a draft class, and may change without notice. It is disabled in
     //  stable builds by default. If you use this in applications, please ask
     //  for it to be pushed to stable state. Use --enable-drafts to enable.
     #ifdef CZMQ_BUILD_DRAFT_API
     //  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
     //  Create a new http request.
     CZMQ_EXPORT zhttp_request_t *
	 zhttp_request_new (void);

     //  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
     //  Destroy an http request.

     //  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
     //  Send a request to zhttp_client.
     //  Url and the request path will be concatenated.
     //  This behavior is useful for url rewrite and reverse proxy.
     //
     //  Send also allow two user provided arguments which will be returned with the response.
     //  The reason for two, is to be able to pass around the server connection when forwarding requests or both a callback function and an arg.

     //  Support wildcards with '%s' symbol inside the match string.
     //  Matching wildcards until the next '/', '?' or '\0'.
     //  On successful match the variadic arguments will be filled with the matching strings.
     //  On successful match the method is modifying the url field and break it into substrings.
     //  If you need to use the url, do it before matching or take a copy.
     //
     //  User must not free the variadic arguments as they are part of the url.
     //
     //  To use the percent symbol, just double it, e.g "%%something".
     //
     //  Example:
     //  if (zhttp_request_match (request, "POST", "/send/%s/%s", &name, &id))

	 zhttp_request_match (zhttp_request_t *self, const char *method, const char *path, ...);
