LibHTP is a security-aware parser for the HTTP protocol and the related bits
and pieces. The goal of the project is mainly to support the Suricata use case.
Other use cases might not be fully supported, and we encourage you to cover these.

# Usage
Start using libHTP by including it in your project's `Cargo.toml`
dependencies. The base library will also be required for using common
types.

**The minimum supported version of `rustc` is `1.58.1`.**

## Example
```
[dependencies]
htp = "2.0.0"
```

## FFI Support
LibHTP has a foreign function interface for use in C/C++ projects.
FFI Support can be enabled by building with the `cbindgen` feature.

```
# Install cbindgen which is required to generate headers
cargo install --force cbindgen

# Build headers and shared objects
make
```
