@package wai
@version 0.4.1
-- | This module defines a generic web application interface. It is a
-- common protocol between web servers and web applications.
--
-- The overriding design principles here are performance and generality .
-- To address performance, this library is built on top of the enumerator
-- and blaze-builder packages. The advantages of enumerators over lazy IO
-- have been debated elsewhere and so will not be addressed here.
-- However, helper functions like responseLBS allow you to
-- continue using lazy IO if you so desire.
--
-- Generality is achieved by removing many variables commonly found in
-- similar projects that are not universal to all servers. The goal is
-- that the Request object contains only data which is meaningful
-- in all circumstances.
--
-- Please remember when using this package that, while your application
-- may compile without a hitch against many different servers, there are
-- other considerations to be taken when moving to a new backend. For
-- example, if you transfer from a CGI application to a FastCGI one, you
-- might suddenly find you have a memory leak. Conversely, a FastCGI
-- application would be well served to preload all templates from disk
-- when first starting; this would kill the performance of a CGI
-- application.
--
-- This package purposely provides very little functionality. You can
-- find various middlewares, backends and utilities on Hackage. Some of
-- the most commonly used include:
--
--
module Network.Wai
-- | Information on the request sent by the client. This abstracts away the
-- details of the underlying implementation.
data Request
Request :: Method -> HttpVersion -> ByteString -> ByteString -> ByteString -> Int -> RequestHeaders -> Bool -> SockAddr -> [Text] -> Query -> Request
requestMethod :: Request -> Method
httpVersion :: Request -> HttpVersion
-- | Extra path information sent by the client. The meaning varies slightly
-- depending on backend; in a standalone server setting, this is most
-- likely all information after the domain name. In a CGI application,
-- this would be the information following the path to the CGI executable
-- itself. Do not modify this raw value- modify pathInfo instead.
rawPathInfo :: Request -> ByteString
-- | If no query string was specified, this should be empty. This value
-- will include the leading question mark. Do not modify this raw
-- value- modify queryString instead.
rawQueryString :: Request -> ByteString
-- | Generally the host requested by the user via the Host request header.
-- Backends are free to provide alternative values as necessary. This
-- value should not be used to construct URLs.
serverName :: Request -> ByteString
-- | The listening port that the server received this request on. It is
-- possible for a server to listen on a non-numeric port (i.e., Unix
-- named socket), in which case this value will be arbitrary. Like
-- serverName, this value should not be used in URL construction.
serverPort :: Request -> Int
requestHeaders :: Request -> RequestHeaders
-- | Was this request made over an SSL connection?
isSecure :: Request -> Bool
-- | The client's host information.
remoteHost :: Request -> SockAddr
-- | Path info in individual pieces- the url without a hostname/port and
-- without a query string, split on forward slashes,
pathInfo :: Request -> [Text]
-- | Parsed query string information
queryString :: Request -> Query
data Response
ResponseFile :: Status -> ResponseHeaders -> FilePath -> (Maybe FilePart) -> Response
ResponseBuilder :: Status -> ResponseHeaders -> Builder -> Response
ResponseEnumerator :: (forall a. ResponseEnumerator a) -> Response
type ResponseEnumerator a = (Status -> ResponseHeaders -> Iteratee Builder IO a) -> IO a
responseEnumerator :: Response -> ResponseEnumerator a
type Application = Request -> Iteratee ByteString IO Response
-- | Middleware is a component that sits between the server and
-- application. It can do such tasks as GZIP encoding or response
-- caching. What follows is the general definition of middleware, though
-- a middleware author should feel free to modify this.
--
-- As an example of an alternate type for middleware, suppose you write a
-- function to load up session information. The session information is
-- simply a string map [(String, String)]. A logical type signatures for
-- this middleware might be:
--
--
-- loadSession :: ([(String, String)] -> Application) -> Application
--
--
-- Here, instead of taking a standard Application as its first
-- argument, the middleware takes a function which consumes the session
-- information as well.
