This module is the private part of the anchor object. It has the
functions declarations that are private to the Library and that
shouldn't be used by applications. See also the public part of the
declarition in the <A HREF="HTAnchor.html">HTAnchorModule</A>.<P>

<H2>The Link Object</H2>
Link Objects bind together anchor objects
<PRE>
struct _HTLink {
HTAnchor * dest; /* The anchor to which this leads */
HTLinkType type; /* Semantics of this link */
HTMethod method; /* Method for this link, e.g. PUT */
HTLinkResult result; /* Result of any attempt to get this link */
};
</PRE>
<H2>The Anchor Object</H2>
We have a set of Anchor objects which of course should be sub classes
- but - hey - this is C - what do you expect!
<A NAME="Generic"><H3>Generic Anchor type</H3></A>
This is the super class of anchors. We often use this as an argument
to the functions that both accept parent anchors and child anchors. We
separate the first link from the others to avoid too many small
mallocs involved by a list creation. Most anchors only point to one
place.
<PRE>
struct _HTAnchor {
HTLink mainLink; /* Main (or default) destination of this */
HTList * links; /* List of extra links from this, if any */
HTParentAnchor * parent; /* Parent of this anchor (self for adults) */
};
</PRE>
<A NAME="parent"><H3>Anchor for a Parent Object</H3></A>
These anchors points to the whole contents of a graphic object
(document). The parent anchor of a parent anchor is itself. The parent
anchor now contains all meta information about the object. This is
largely the entity headers in the HTTP specification.
<PRE>
struct _HTParentAnchor {
/* Common part from the generic anchor structure */
HTLink mainLink; /* Main (or default) destination of this */
HTList * links; /* List of extra links from this, if any */
HTParentAnchor * parent; /* Parent of this anchor (self) */
/* ParentAnchor-specific information */
HTList * children; /* Subanchors of this, if any */
HTList * sources; /* List of anchors pointing to this, if any */
void * document; /* The document within this is an anchor */
char * physical; /* Physical address */
BOOL cacheHit; /* Yes, if cached object found */
char * address; /* Absolute address of this node */
BOOL isIndex; /* Acceptance of a keyword search */
/* Entity header fields */
BOOL header_parsed; /* Are we done parsing? */
char * title;
int methods; /* Allowed methods (bit-flag) */
HTEncoding content_encoding;
HTLanguage content_language; /* @@@ SHOULD BE LIST @@@ */
long int content_length;
HTCte cte; /* Content-Transfer-Encoding */
HTFormat content_type;
HTCharset charset; /* Parameter to content-type */
HTLevel level; /* Parameter to content-type `text/html' */
time_t date; /* When was the request issued */
time_t expires; /* When does the copy expire */
time_t last_modified;
char * derived_from; /* Opaque string */
char * version; /* Opaque string */
/* List of unknown headers coming in from the network. Use the field in the
request structure for sending test headers. */
HTList * extra_headers;
};
</PRE>
<A NAME="child"><H3>Anchor for a Child Object</H3></A>
A child anchor is a anchor object that points to a subpart of a
graphic object (document)
<PRE>
struct _HTChildAnchor {
/* Common part from the generic anchor structure */
HTLink mainLink; /* Main (or default) destination of this */
HTList * links; /* List of extra links from this, if any */
HTParentAnchor * parent; /* Parent of this anchor */
/* ChildAnchor-specific information */
char * tag; /* Address of this anchor relative to parent */
};
