Parsing of body not working correctly (Rust)

Challenges

I’m stuck on Stage #QV8

I’ve tried a lot of things, all the parsing is working perfectly, however my body parsing is still not working, somehow it’s always an empty string. I am trying to create a struct HTTPRequest with the input of the bufReader. (Please be advised I am a beginner in Rust so maybe you see some crazy thing here)

And here’s a snippet of my code:

struct HTTPRequest<'a> {
    method: &'a str,
    version: &'a str,
    route: &'a str,
    headers: Vec<(&'a str, String)>,
    content_length: u64,
    body: String,
}

impl<'a> HTTPRequest<'a> {
    fn from_lines(lines: impl Iterator<Item=&'a str>) -> HTTPRequest<'a> {
        let mut lines = lines.peekable();

        // Parse the request line
        let request_line = lines.next().unwrap_or("");
        let mut request_parts = request_line.split_whitespace();
        let method = request_parts.next().unwrap_or("");
        let route = request_parts.next().unwrap_or("");
        let version = request_parts.next().unwrap_or("");

        // Collect the body
        let mut body = String::new();


        // Parse headers
        let mut headers = Vec::new();
        let mut content_length = 0;

        while let Some(line) = lines.next() {
            if line.is_empty() {
                break; // Stop processing headers on encountering a blank line
            }
            if let Some((name, value)) = line.split_once(": ") {
                headers.push((name, value.to_string()));
                if name.to_lowercase() == "content-length" {
                    content_length = value.trim().parse().unwrap_or(0); // Parse Content-Length header
                }
            } else {
                body.push_str(line);
            }
        }

        HTTPRequest {
            method,
            version,
            route,
            headers,
            content_length,
            body,
        }
    }

    fn get_header_value(&self, key: &str) -> Option<&str> {
        for (name, value) in &self.headers {
            if *name == key {
                return Some(value);
            }
        }
        None
    }
}

And I call it here:

 let mut buf_reader = BufReader::new(&mut stream);
 let mut request_lines = Vec::new();

 for line in buf_reader.by_ref().lines() {
     let line = line.unwrap();
     if line.is_empty() {
         break;
     }
     request_lines.push(line);
 }

 let request = HTTPRequest::from_lines(request_lines.iter().map(|s| s.as_str()));

Just in case someone wants to run it you have the full code here:

@JosepBove Just checking, do you still need any assistance with this?
