WebGear.Core.Trait.Header

Description

Traits and middlewares to handle request and response headers.

There are a number of ways to extract a header value from a request:

The header middleware can extract a header value trait and invoke another handler. An error handler is invoked if the header is missing or the parsing fails.

The optionalHeader middleware is similar but will not invoke the error handling in case the header is missing. Instead, the trait value will be set to Nothing in that case.

The lenientHeader middleware requires the header to be present. But the trait attribute will be set to Left msg if an error occurs while parsing it to a Haskell value. Here msg will indicate the error in parsing.

Finally, we have optionalLenientHeader which combines the behaviors of optionalHeader and lenientHeader. In this case, the header extraction never fails. Missing headers and parse errors are indicated in the trait attribute passed to next handler.

A response header can be set using setHeader or setOptionalHeader arrows. They accept a witnessed response and a header value and sets the header in the response. You can generate an input response object using functions from WebGear.Core.Trait.Status module.

Synopsis

Traits

data RequestHeader (e :: Existence) (p :: ParseStyle) (name :: Symbol) val Source #

A trait for capturing an HTTP request header of specified name and converting it to some type val. The modifiers e and p determine how the missing headers and parsing errors are handled. The header name is compared case-insensitively.

type Prerequisite (RequestHeader e p name val) ts = ()

type RequiredRequestHeader = RequestHeader 'Required 'Strict Source #

A RequestHeader that is required and parsed strictly

type OptionalRequestHeader = RequestHeader 'Optional 'Strict Source #

A RequestHeader that is optional and parsed strictly

data ResponseHeader (e :: Existence) (name :: Symbol) val Source #

A trait for setting a header in the HTTP response. It has a specified name and a value of type val. The header name is compared case-insensitively. The modifier e determines whether the header is mandatory or optional.

Middlewares

header Source #

Arguments

:: forall (name :: Symbol) val h (ts :: [Type]). (Get h (RequestHeader 'Required 'Strict name val), ArrowChoice h) 
=> h (With Request ts, Either HeaderNotFound HeaderParseError) Response

Error handler

-> Middleware h ts (RequestHeader 'Required 'Strict name val ': ts) 

Extract a request header value and convert it to a value of type val.

The associated trait attribute has type val.

Example usage:

header @"Content-Length" @Integer errorHandler okHandler

optionalHeader Source #

Arguments

:: forall (name :: Symbol) val h (ts :: [Type]). (Get h (RequestHeader 'Optional 'Strict name val), ArrowChoice h) 
=> h (With Request ts, HeaderParseError) Response

Error handler

-> Middleware h ts (RequestHeader 'Optional 'Strict name val ': ts) 

Extract an optional request header value and convert it to a value of type val.

The associated trait attribute has type Maybe val; a Nothing value indicates that the header is missing from the request.

Example usage:

optionalHeader @"Content-Length" @Integer errorHandler okHandler

lenientHeader Source #

Arguments

:: forall (name :: Symbol) val h (ts :: [Type]). (Get h (RequestHeader 'Required 'Lenient name val), ArrowChoice h) 
=> h (With Request ts, HeaderNotFound) Response

Error handler

-> Middleware h ts (RequestHeader 'Required 'Lenient name val ': ts) 

Extract a request header value and convert it to a value of type val.

The associated trait attribute has type Either Text val. The parsing is done leniently and any errors are reported in the trait attribute.

Example usage:

lenientHeader @"Content-Length" @Integer errorHandler okHandler

optionalLenientHeader :: forall (name :: Symbol) val h (ts :: [Type]). (Get h (RequestHeader 'Optional 'Lenient name val), ArrowChoice h) => Middleware h ts (RequestHeader 'Optional 'Lenient name val ': ts) Source #

Extract a request header value and convert it to a value of type val.

The associated trait attribute has type Maybe (Either Text val). The parsing is done leniently. Any parsing errors and missing header are reported in the trait attribute.

Example usage:

optionalLenientHeader @"Content-Length" @Integer handler

setHeader :: forall (name :: Symbol) val h (ts :: [Type]). Set h (ResponseHeader 'Required name val) => h (With Response ts, val) (With Response (ResponseHeader 'Required name val ': ts)) Source #

Set a header value in a response.

Example usage:

response' <- setHeader @"Content-Length" -< (response, 42)

setOptionalHeader :: forall (name :: Symbol) val h (ts :: [Type]). Set h (ResponseHeader 'Optional name val) => h (With Response ts, Maybe val) (With Response (ResponseHeader 'Optional name val ': ts)) Source #

Set an optional header value in a response.

Setting the header to Nothing will remove it from the response if it was previously set. The header will be considered as optional in all relevant places (such as documentation).

Example usage:

response' <- setOptionalHeader @"Content-Length" -< (response, Just 42)

acceptMatch :: forall h mt (ts :: [Type]). (ArrowChoice h, ArrowError RouteMismatch h, MIMEType mt) => mt -> Middleware h ts ts Source #

Match the Accept header of the incoming request with the specified mediatype. Another handler will be tried if the match fails.

Example usage:

  acceptMatch JSON handler
