- rfc822-header->list iport &keyword strict? readerprocedure
Reads RFC822 format message from an input port iport, until it reaches the end of the message header. The header fields are unfolded, and broken into a list of the following format:
((name body) ...)
Name ... are the field names, and body ... are the corresponding field body, both as strings. Field names are converted to lower-case characters. Field bodies are not modified, except the folded line is concatenated, CRLFs removed. The order of fields are preserved.
By default, the parser works permissively. If EOF is encountered during parsing header, it is taken as the end of the message. And if a line that doesn't consist neither continuing (folded) line nor start a new header field, it is simply ignored. You can change this behavior by giving true value to the keyword argument strict?; then the parser raises an error for such a malformed header.
The keyword argument reader takes a procedure that reads a line from iport. Its default is read-line, which should be enough for most cases.
