TSHttpHdrHostGet
==================

Synopsis
--------

`#include <ts/ts.h>`

.. c:function:: const char* TSHttpHdrHostGet(TSMBuffer bufp, TSMLoc offset, int *length)


Description
-----------

Get the host for the request. :arg:`bufp` and :arg:`offset` must reference an HTTP request header. A pointer to the host
is returned and the length is stored in the ``int`` pointed at by :arg:`length`. Note the returned text may not
be null terminated. The URL in the request is checked first then the ``HOST`` header field.

..note: This is much faster than calling :c:func:`TSHttpEffectiveUrlStringGet` and extracting the host from the result.
