I have a HTTP string:

Content-Type: text/plain
User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.31.3
Accept: */*
Postman-Token: 640d0ede-6dd7-4db3-8aba-8d28d933dda7
Host: 127.0.0.1:8000
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 4

poop```

Where I try and get 3 pointers, one for the status line, one for the headers, and one for the body.

```c
    char *status_line, *headers, *body;

    status_line = strsep(&request, "\r\n");
    headers = strsep(&request, "\r\n\r\n");
    body = request;

But this returns:

Status line: GET / HTTP/1.1

Headers:

Body: Content-Type: text/plain
User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.31.3
Accept: */*
Postman-Token: 640d0ede-6dd7-4db3-8aba-8d28d933dda7
Host: 127.0.0.1:8000
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 4

poop

Why is 'headers' empty?

because strsep stops if any of "\r\n" is found

#

it does not find the string in the second argument, it just finds any of the characters in it
