             Summary: Modify string ownership for TSRedirectUrlSet()
                 Key: TS-2693
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2693
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: TS API
            Reporter: Leif Hedstrom


Right now, the API TSRedirectUrlSet() makes a strdup() of the incoming string. In many cases, this is very undesirable, and does not fit well in how other similar APIs works. Instead, I think TSRedirectUrlSet() should take ownership of the (heap) allocated incoming string.

This does not change the API itself, but eliminates the malloc / strcpy in the API. A caller of this API is expected to provide a string that is allocated. For example, a string returned from TSUrlStringGet() is the perfect use case where the new API contract works much better.
