=============================
.. zeek:namespace:: HTTP
Implements base functionality for HTTP analysis. The logging model is
to log request/response pairs and all relevant metadata together in
a single record.

:source-code: base/protocols/http/main.zeek 25 25
:Type: :zeek:type:`bool`
:Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``F``
This setting changes if passwords used in Basic-Auth are captured or
not.

}
A list of HTTP methods. Other methods will generate a weird. Note
that the HTTP analyzer will only accept methods consisting solely
of letters ``[A-Za-z]``.

:source-code: base/protocols/http/main.zeek 141 141
:Type: :zeek:type:`count`
:Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``100``
Only allow that many pending requests on a single connection.
If this number is exceeded, all pending requests are flushed
out and request/response tracking reset to prevent unbounded
state growth.
.. zeek:id:: HTTP::proxy_headers
:source-code: base/protocols/http/main.zeek 107 107
:Type: :zeek:type:`set` [:zeek:type:`string`]

.. zeek:id:: HTTP::default_max_field_string_bytes
:source-code: base/protocols/http/main.zeek 149 149
:Type: :zeek:type:`count`
:Attributes: :zeek:attr:`&redef`
:Default: ``0``
The maximum number of bytes that a single string field can contain when
logging. If a string reaches this limit, the log output for the field will be
truncated. Setting this to zero disables the limiting. HTTP has no maximum
length for various fields such as the URI, so this is set to zero by default.
