Env 

Fields

request_method :: RequestMethod

HTTP request method

script_name :: String

The initial portion of the request URL's "path" that corresponds to the application object, so that the application knows its virtual "location". This may be an empty string, if the application corresponds to the "root" of the server.

path_info :: String

The remainder of the request URL's "path", designating the virtual "location" of the request's target within the application. This will always starts with "/"

query_string :: String

The portion of the request URL that follows the ?, if any. May be empty

server_name :: String

When combined with SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO, these variables can be used to complete the URL. Note, however, that HTTP_HOST, if present, should be used

server_port :: Int

preference to SERVER_NAME for reconstructing the request URL. SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT can never be empty strings, and so are always required.

http :: [(String, String)]

Variables corresponding to the client-supplied HTTP request headers

hack_version :: [Int]

The Array [0,1], representing this version of Hack

hack_url_scheme :: Hack_UrlScheme

HTTP or HTTPS, depending on the request URL

hack_input :: String

body of the request

hack_errors :: HackErrors

error stream

hack_multithread :: Bool

true if the application object may be simultaneously invoked by another thread in the same process, false otherwise.

hack_multiprocess :: Bool

true if an equivalent application object may be simultaneously invoked by another process, false otherwise.

hack_run_once :: Bool

true if the server expects (but does not guarantee!) that the application will only be invoked this one time during the life of its containing process. Normally, this will only be true for a server based on CGI (or something similar).

custom :: [(String, String)]

any non HTTP standard header

Instances

data Response Source

status :: Int

must be greater than or equal to 100.

headers :: [(String, String)]
