+
+## Defect
+
+`Curl_checkheaders` performs a full O(H) linear scan of the user's `curl_slist` of
+custom headers on every call. It is called approximately **20 times per HTTP request**
+in `http.c` alone (checking for Host, Content-Type, Connection, Transfer-Encoding,
+Accept, Authorization, etc.), plus 12 more times across `rtsp.c`, `smtp.c`, `imap.c`.
+
+```c
+// lib/transfer.c:85
+char *Curl_checkheaders(const struct Curl_easy *data,
+                        const char *thisheader, const size_t thislen) {
+  for(head = data->set.headers; head; head = head->next) { // O(H) per call
+    if(curl_strnequal(head->data, thisheader, thislen) && ...)
+      return head->data;
+  }
+  return NULL;
+}
+```
+
+With H=500 custom headers and K=20 calls per request: **10,000 string comparisons per
+request**, repeated on every request in a transfer loop.
+
+## Fix
+
+Build a case-insensitive `HashMap<header_name, slist_node>` once when headers are set
+via `CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER`, rebuild on modification. Each `Curl_checkheaders` call
+becomes an O(1) hash lookup:
+
+```c
+// At curl_easy_setopt(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER):
+// rebuild data->set.headers_map from data->set.headers slist — O(H)
+
+// Curl_checkheaders replacement:
+struct curl_slist *found = Curl_hashmap_get_icase(data->set.headers_map,
+                                                   thisheader, thislen);
+return found ? found->data : NULL;
+```
+
+Speedup: ~500× at H=500 (20 × 500 = 10,000 → 20 × 1 = 20 effective ops).

+struct stsentry *Curl_hsts(struct hsts *h, const char *hostname, ...) {

+```
+
+**Two O(N²) impact paths:**
+
+1. **File load** (`hsts_load` → `hsts_add` → `Curl_hsts` for dedup): N calls, each
+   O(N) → **O(N²)** total. A 1,000-entry HSTS file performs 500,000 comparisons.
+
+2. **Per-request HTTPS upgrade** (`Curl_hsts_parse` lines 192, 207): called twice
+   per incoming HSTS header, each O(N). With N=1,000 entries and 100 req/s: 200,000
+   comparisons/sec just for HSTS lookups.
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace `Curl_llist` in `struct hsts` with a hash table keyed on hostname (case-insensitive):
+
+```c
+// hsts_add: O(1) insert
+// Curl_hsts: O(1) lookup
+struct stsentry *Curl_hsts(struct hsts *h, const char *hostname, ...) {
+    return Curl_hashmap_get_icase(h->entries, hostname, hlen);
+}
+```
+
+Speedup: ~500× at N=1,000 (O(N²)=500K → O(N)=1K at file load).

+## Classification
+
+| Field       | Value |

+| CWE         | CWE-407 Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity |
+| Severity    | MEDIUM |
+| Component   | `http.c:3697` (`evhttp_dispatch_callback`), `http.c:4290` (`evhttp_set_cb`) |
+| Hot path    | Every incoming HTTP request — route dispatch |
+| Status      | PATCHED (unit test PASS) |
+
+## Defect
+
+`evhttp_dispatch_callback` scans the entire `httpcbq` TAILQ on every incoming request
+to find the matching route handler:
+
+```c
+// http.c:3697
+static struct evhttp_cb *
+evhttp_dispatch_callback(struct httpcbq *callbacks, struct evhttp_request *req) {
+    TAILQ_FOREACH(cb, callbacks, next) {  // O(C) linear scan per request
+        if (!strcmp(cb->what, translated))
+            return cb;
+    }
+    return NULL;
+}
+```
+
+Called from `evhttp_handle_request` (line 3857) on every incoming request. At R
+requests/second with C registered callbacks: **O(R × C) strcmp calls per second**.
+
+**Secondary defect — `evhttp_set_cb` (line 4290):** Called C times at server setup,
+each scanning the TAILQ for duplicate URIs → O(C²) total setup cost.
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace the `TAILQ httpcbq` with a hash table keyed on URI string:
+
+```c
+// Server struct: add
+struct evkeyvalht *callback_map;   // hash map: uri → evhttp_cb*
+
+// evhttp_set_cb: O(1) insert after O(1) dup check
+// evhttp_dispatch_callback: O(1) lookup
+struct evhttp_cb *
+evhttp_dispatch_callback(struct httpcbq *callbacks, struct evhttp_request *req) {
+    return evkeyvalht_find(callbacks->map, translated);
+}
+```
+
+Retain the TAILQ for ordered iteration (e.g., `evhttp_del_cb`), but use the hash map
+for the hot dispatch path.
+
+Speedup: ~100× at C=100 callbacks.
