Jon Siwek 7e9d48f532 Remove broxygen Sphinx integration
The broxygen-generated files now live in the git repo, have tests
that check that they are up-to-date, and a script to re-generate
them on-demand.

Events
######
.. bro:id:: http_all_headers
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, is_orig: :bro:type:`bool`, hlist: :bro:type:`mime_header_list`)
Generated for HTTP headers, passing on all headers of an HTTP message at
once. Bro supports persistent and pipelined HTTP sessions and raises
corresponding events as it parses client/server dialogues.
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:is_orig: True if the header was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.
:hlist: A *table* containing all headers extracted from the current entity.
The table is indexed by the position of the header (1 for the first,
2 for the second, etc.).
.. bro:see:: http_begin_entity http_content_type http_end_entity http_entity_data
http_event http_header http_message_done http_reply http_request http_stats
http_connection_upgrade
.. note:: This event is also raised for headers found in nested body
entities.
.. bro:id:: http_begin_entity
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, is_orig: :bro:type:`bool`)
Generated when starting to parse an HTTP body entity. This event is generated
at least once for each non-empty (client or server) HTTP body; and
potentially more than once if the body contains further nested MIME
entities. Bro raises this event just before it starts parsing each entity's
content.
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:is_orig: True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP
connection.
.. bro:see:: http_all_headers http_content_type http_end_entity http_entity_data
http_event http_header http_message_done http_reply http_request http_stats
mime_begin_entity http_connection_upgrade
.. bro:id:: http_connection_upgrade
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, protocol: :bro:type:`string`)
Generated when a HTTP session is upgraded to a different protocol (e.g. websocket).
This event is raised when a server replies with a HTTP 101 reply. No more HTTP events
will be raised after this event.
:c: The connection.
:protocol: The protocol to which the connection is switching.
.. bro:see:: http_all_headers http_begin_entity http_content_type http_end_entity
http_entity_data http_event http_header http_message_done http_reply
http_request
.. bro:id:: http_content_type
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, is_orig: :bro:type:`bool`, ty: :bro:type:`string`, subty: :bro:type:`string`)
Generated for reporting an HTTP body's content type. This event is
generated at the end of parsing an HTTP header, passing on the MIME
type as specified by the ``Content-Type`` header. If that header is
missing, this event is still raised with a default value of ``text/plain``.
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:is_orig: True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP
connection.
:ty: The main type.
:subty: The subtype.

http_event http_header http_message_done http_reply http_request http_stats
http_connection_upgrade
.. note:: This event is also raised for headers found in nested body
entities.
.. bro:id:: http_end_entity
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, is_orig: :bro:type:`bool`)
Generated when finishing parsing an HTTP body entity. This event is generated
at least once for each non-empty (client or server) HTTP body; and
potentially more than once if the body contains further nested MIME
entities. Bro raises this event at the point when it has finished parsing an
entity's content.
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:is_orig: True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP
connection.
.. bro:see:: http_all_headers http_begin_entity http_content_type http_entity_data
http_event http_header http_message_done http_reply http_request
http_stats mime_end_entity http_connection_upgrade
.. bro:id:: http_entity_data
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, is_orig: :bro:type:`bool`, length: :bro:type:`count`, data: :bro:type:`string`)
Generated when parsing an HTTP body entity, passing on the data. This event
can potentially be raised many times for each entity, each time passing a
chunk of the data of not further defined size.
A common idiom for using this event is to first *reassemble* the data
at the scripting layer by concatenating it to a successively growing
string; and only perform further content analysis once the corresponding
:bro:id:`http_end_entity` event has been raised. Note, however, that doing so
can be quite expensive for HTTP tranders. At the very least, one should
impose an upper size limit on how much data is being buffered.
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:is_orig: True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP
connection.
:length: The length of *data*.
:data: One chunk of raw entity data.

http_connection_upgrade
.. bro:id:: http_event
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, event_type: :bro:type:`string`, detail: :bro:type:`string`)
Generated for errors found when decoding HTTP requests or replies.
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:event_type: A string describing the general category of the problem found
(e.g., ``illegal format``).
:detail: Further more detailed description of the error.

.. bro:id:: http_header
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, is_orig: :bro:type:`bool`, name: :bro:type:`string`, value: :bro:type:`string`)
Generated for HTTP headers. Bro supports persistent and pipelined HTTP
sessions and raises corresponding events as it parses client/server
dialogues.
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:is_orig: True if the header was sent by the originator of the TCP connection.
:name: The name of the header.
:value: The value of the header.

http_entity_data http_event http_message_done http_reply http_request
http_stats http_connection_upgrade
.. note:: This event is also raised for headers found in nested body
entities.
.. bro:id:: http_message_done
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, is_orig: :bro:type:`bool`, stat: :bro:type:`http_message_stat`)
Generated once at the end of parsing an HTTP message. Bro supports persistent
and pipelined HTTP sessions and raises corresponding events as it parses
client/server dialogues. A "message" is one top-level HTTP entity, such as a
complete request or reply. Each message can have further nested sub-entities
inside. This event is raised once all sub-entities belonging to a top-level
message have been processed (and their corresponding ``http_entity_*`` events
generated).
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:is_orig: True if the entity was sent by the originator of the TCP
connection.
:stat: Further meta information about the message.

.. bro:id:: http_reply
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, version: :bro:type:`string`, code: :bro:type:`count`, reason: :bro:type:`string`)
Generated for HTTP replies. Bro supports persistent and pipelined HTTP
sessions and raises corresponding events as it parses client/server
dialogues. This event is generated as soon as a reply's initial line has
been parsed, and before any :bro:id:`http_header` events are raised.
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:version: The version number specified in the reply (e.g., ``1.1``).
:code: The numerical response code returned by the server.
:reason: The textual description returned by the server along with *code*.

Generated for HTTP requests. Bro supports persistent and pipelined HTTP
sessions and raises corresponding events as it parses client/server
dialogues. This event is generated as soon as a request's initial line has
been parsed, and before any :bro:id:`http_header` events are raised.
See `Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol>`__
for more information about the HTTP protocol.
:c: The connection.
:method: The HTTP method extracted from the request (e.g., ``GET``, ``POST``).
:original_URI: The unprocessed URI as specified in the request.
:unescaped_URI: The URI with all percent-encodings decoded.
:version: The version number specified in the request (e.g., ``1.1``).

.. bro:id:: http_stats
:Type: :bro:type:`event` (c: :bro:type:`connection`, stats: :bro:type:`http_stats_rec`)
Generated at the end of an HTTP session to report statistics about it. This
event is raised after all of an HTTP session's requests and replies have been
fully processed.
:c: The connection.
:stats: Statistics summarizing HTTP-level properties of the finished
connection.
