Pull request overview
This PR adjusts the slice plugin’s HttpHeader::valueForKey() helper to fix an off-by-one capacity check when copying a MIME header value into a caller-provided buffer, and clarifies the function’s contract in the header.
Changes:
- Fixes the copy/termination capacity check to allow using the full available buffer (while still reserving space for
'\0'). - Adds input validation for
nullptroutput parameters and rejects invalidindexvalues (< -1). - Updates the API comment to describe null-termination and caller responsibilities.
