/*
This shows how to use HTTP chunked transfer in libevent. It starts an HTTP server on port 8080; when the client connects, it outputs an message every second. After all messages are outputted, the server closes the HTTP connection.

It has an unsolved crashing problem though... to see it crash, run the next commands in a shell.

See my ML post "after the http client abruptly closes socket libevent (2.0.3-alpha) http server crashes" at http://archives.seul.org/libevent/users/Jan-2010/msg00054.html

Compile with:

        gcc -Wall -g -std=c99 -D_GNU_SOURCE -Iinclude -Llib -levent -o chunk chunk.c

If you are going to try,

Otherwise don't even start.

This could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs.

See http://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/29/11/how-to-use-the-browser-to-dynamically-update-hosts-ip

Do an HTTP GET to (and replace the VARIABLES):

https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=HOST&domain=DOMAIN&password=PASSWORD&ip=IP_ADDRESS

eg. to update the local.statica.info DNS A record:

https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=local&domain=statica.info&password=PASSWORD&ip=127.1.0.1
