Snap.Util.FileUploads

Description

This module contains primitives and helper functions for handling requests with Content-type: multipart/form-data, i.e. HTML forms and file uploads.

Typically most users will want to use handleFileUploads, which writes uploaded files to a temporary directory before sending them on to a handler specified by the user.

Users who wish to handle their file uploads differently can use the lower-level interface called handleMultipart. That function takes uploaded files and streams them to a consumer of the user's choosing.

Using these functions requires making "policy" decisions which Snap can't really make for users, such as "what's the largest PDF file a user is allowed to upload?" and "should we read form inputs into the parameters mapping?". Policy is specified on a "global" basis (using UploadPolicy), and on a per-file basis (using PartUploadPolicy, which allows you to reject or limit the size of certain uploaded Content-types).

Example usage:

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

module Main where

import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B8
import           Data.Functor          ((<$>))
import           Snap.Core             (Snap, route, writeBS)
import           Snap.Http.Server      (quickHttpServe)
import           Snap.Util.FileUploads
import           System.Posix          (FileOffset, fileSize, getFileStatus)

uploadForm :: Snap ()
uploadForm = writeBS "<form enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"/do-upload\" method=\"POST\">\
    \<input name=\"file\" type=\"file\" />\
    \<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Send File\" />\
    \</form>"

getFileSize :: FilePath -> IO FileOffset
getFileSize path = fileSize <$> getFileStatus path

-- Upload handler that prints out the uploaded file's size.
doUpload :: Snap ()
doUpload = do
  l <- handleFileUploads "/tmp" defaultUploadPolicy
       (const $ allowWithMaximumSize (getMaximumFormInputSize defaultUploadPolicy))
       (\pinfo mbfname -> do fsize <- either (const $ return 0) getFileSize mbfname
                             return (partFileName pinfo, fsize))
  writeBS . B8.pack . show $ l

site :: Snap ()
site = route
  [ ("/upload",    uploadForm)
  , ("/do-upload", doUpload)]

main :: IO ()
main = quickHttpServe site
Synopsis

Functions

handleFormUploads Source #

Arguments

:: MonadSnap m 
=> UploadPolicy

general upload policy

-> FileUploadPolicy

Upload policy for files

-> (PartInfo -> InputStream ByteString -> IO a)

A file storage function

-> m ([FormParam], [FormFile a]) 

Processes form data and calls provided storage function on file parts.

You can use this together with withTemporaryStore, storeAsLazyByteString or provide your own callback to store uploaded files.

If you need to process uploaded file mime type or file name, do it in the store callback function.

See also foldMultipart.

Example using with small files which can safely be stored in memory.

import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as Lazy

handleSmallFiles :: MonadSnap m => [(ByteString, ByteString, Lazy.ByteString)]
handleSmallFiles = handleFormUploads uploadPolicy filePolicy store

  where
    uploadPolicy = defaultUploadPolicy
    filePolicy = setMaximumFileSize (64*1024)
                 $ setMaximumNumberOfFiles 5
                   defaultUploadPolicy
    store partInfo stream = do
       content <- storeAsLazyByteString partInfo stream
       let
         fileName = partFileName partInfo
         fileMime = partContentType partInfo
       in (fileName, fileMime, content)

foldMultipart Source #

Arguments

:: MonadSnap m 
=> UploadPolicy

global upload policy

-> PartFold a

part processor

-> a

seed accumulator

-> m ([FormParam], a) 

Given an upload policy and a function to consume uploaded "parts", consume a request body uploaded with Content-type: multipart/form-data.

If setProcessFormInputs is True, then parts with disposition form-data (a form parameter) will be processed and returned as first element of resulting pair. Parts with other disposition will be fed to PartFold handler.

If setProcessFormInputs is False, then parts with any disposition will be fed to PartFold handler and first element of returned pair will be empty. In this case it is important that you limit number of form inputs and sizes of inputs in your PartFold handler to avoid common DOS attacks.

Note: THE REQUEST MUST BE CORRECTLY ENCODED. If the request's Content-type is not "multipart/formdata", this function skips processing using pass.

Most users will opt for the higher-level handleFileUploads, which writes to temporary files, rather than handleMultipart. This function should be chosen, however, if you need to stream uploaded files directly to your own processing function: e.g. to a database or a remote service via RPC.

If the client's upload rate passes below the configured minimum (see setMinimumUploadRate and setMinimumUploadSeconds), this function terminates the connection. This setting is there to protect the server against slowloris-style denial of service attacks.

Exceptions

If the given UploadPolicy stipulates that you wish form inputs to be processed (using setProcessFormInputs), and a form input exceeds the maximum allowable size or the form exceeds maximum number of inputs, this function will throw a PolicyViolationException.

If an uploaded part contains MIME headers longer than a fixed internal threshold (currently 32KB), this function will throw a BadPartException.

Since: 1.0.3.0

Backwards compatible API

handleFileUploads Source #

Arguments

:: MonadSnap m 
=> FilePath

temporary directory

-> UploadPolicy

general upload policy

-> (PartInfo -> PartUploadPolicy)

per-part upload policy

-> (PartInfo -> Either PolicyViolationException FilePath -> IO a)

user handler (see function description)

-> m [a] 

Reads uploaded files into a temporary directory and calls a user handler to process them.

Note: THE REQUEST MUST BE CORRECTLY ENCODED. If the request's Content-type is not "multipart/formdata", this function skips processing using pass.

Given a temporary directory, global and file-specific upload policies, and a user handler, this function consumes a request body uploaded with Content-type: multipart/form-data. Each file is read into the temporary directory, and is then passed to the user handler. After the user handler runs (but before the Response body is streamed to the client), the files are deleted from disk; so if you want to retain or use the uploaded files in the generated response, you need to move or otherwise process them.

The argument passed to the user handler is a tuple:

(PartInfo, Either PolicyViolationException FilePath)

The first half of this tuple is a PartInfo, which contains the information the client browser sent about the given upload part (like filename, content-type, etc). The second half of this tuple is an Either stipulating that either:

  1. the file was rejected on a policy basis because of the provided PartUploadPolicy handler
  2. the file was accepted and exists at the given path.

Exceptions

If the client's upload rate passes below the configured minimum (see setMinimumUploadRate and setMinimumUploadSeconds), this function terminates the connection. This setting is there to protect the server against slowloris-style denial of service attacks.

If the given UploadPolicy stipulates that you wish form inputs to be placed in the rqParams parameter map (using setProcessFormInputs), and a form input exceeds the maximum allowable size, this function will throw a PolicyViolationException.

If an uploaded part contains MIME headers longer than a fixed internal threshold (currently 32KB), this function will throw a BadPartException.

Policy

General upload policy

data UploadPolicy Source #

UploadPolicy controls overall policy decisions relating to multipart/form-data uploads, specifically:

  • whether to treat parts without filenames as form input (reading them into the rqParams map)
  • because form input is read into memory, the maximum size of a form input read in this manner, and the maximum number of form inputs
  • the minimum upload rate a client must maintain before we kill the connection; if very low-bitrate uploads were allowed then a Snap server would be vulnerable to a trivial denial-of-service using a "slowloris"-type attack
  • the minimum number of seconds which must elapse before we start killing uploads for having too low an upload rate.
  • the amount of time we should wait before timing out the connection whenever we receive input from the client.

defaultUploadPolicy :: UploadPolicy Source #

A reasonable set of defaults for upload policy. The default policy is:

maximum form input size
128kB
maximum number of form inputs
10
minimum upload rate
1kB/s
seconds before rate limiting kicks in
10
inactivity timeout
20 seconds

doProcessFormInputs :: UploadPolicy -> Bool Source #

Does this upload policy stipulate that we want to treat parts without filenames as form input?

setProcessFormInputs :: Bool -> UploadPolicy -> UploadPolicy Source #

Set the upload policy for treating parts without filenames as form input.

getMaximumFormInputSize :: UploadPolicy -> Int64 Source #

Get the maximum size of a form input which will be read into our rqParams map.

setMaximumFormInputSize :: Int64 -> UploadPolicy -> UploadPolicy Source #

Set the maximum size of a form input which will be read into our rqParams map.

getMaximumNumberOfFormInputs :: UploadPolicy -> Int Source #

Get the maximum size of a form input which will be read into our rqParams map.

setMaximumNumberOfFormInputs :: Int -> UploadPolicy -> UploadPolicy Source #

Set the maximum size of a form input which will be read into our rqParams map.

getMinimumUploadRate :: UploadPolicy -> Double Source #

Get the minimum rate (in bytes/second) a client must maintain before we kill the connection.

setMinimumUploadRate :: Double -> UploadPolicy -> UploadPolicy Source #

Set the minimum rate (in bytes/second) a client must maintain before we kill the connection.

getMinimumUploadSeconds :: UploadPolicy -> Int Source #

Get the amount of time which must elapse before we begin enforcing the upload rate minimum

setMinimumUploadSeconds :: Int -> UploadPolicy -> UploadPolicy Source #

Set the amount of time which must elapse before we begin enforcing the upload rate minimum

getUploadTimeout :: UploadPolicy -> Int Source #

Get the "upload timeout". Whenever input is received from the client, the connection timeout is set this many seconds in the future.

setUploadTimeout :: Int -> UploadPolicy -> UploadPolicy Source #

Set the upload timeout.

File upload policy

data FileUploadPolicy Source #

File upload policy, if any policy is violated then PolicyViolationException is thrown

defaultFileUploadPolicy :: FileUploadPolicy Source #

A default FileUploadPolicy

maximum file size
1MB
maximum number of files
10
skip files without name
yes
maximum size of skipped file
0

setMaximumFileSize :: Int64 -> FileUploadPolicy -> FileUploadPolicy Source #

Maximum size of single uploaded file.

setMaximumNumberOfFiles :: Int -> FileUploadPolicy -> FileUploadPolicy Source #

Maximum number of uploaded files.

setSkipFilesWithoutNames :: Bool -> FileUploadPolicy -> FileUploadPolicy Source #

Skip files with empty file names.

If set, parts without filenames will not be fed to storage function.

HTML5 form data encoding standard states that form input fields of type file, without value set, are encoded same way as if file with empty body, empty file name, and type application/octet-stream was set as value.

You most likely want to use this with zero bytes allowed to avoid storing such fields (see setMaximumSkippedFileSize).

By default files without names are skipped.

Since: 1.0.3.0

setMaximumSkippedFileSize :: Int64 -> FileUploadPolicy -> FileUploadPolicy Source #

Maximum size of file without name which can be skipped.

Ignored if setSkipFilesWithoutNames is False.

If skipped file is larger than this setting then FileUploadException is thrown.

By default maximum file size is 0.

Since: 1.0.3.0

Per-file upload policy

data PartUploadPolicy Source #

Upload policy can be set on an "general" basis (using UploadPolicy), but handlers can also make policy decisions on individual files/parts uploaded. For each part uploaded, handlers can decide:

  • whether to allow the file upload at all
  • the maximum size of uploaded files, if allowed

disallow :: PartUploadPolicy Source #

Disallows the file to be uploaded.

allowWithMaximumSize :: Int64 -> PartUploadPolicy Source #

Allows the file to be uploaded, with maximum size n in bytes.

Exceptions

data FileUploadException Source #

All of the exceptions defined in this package inherit from FileUploadException, so if you write

foo `catch` \(e :: FileUploadException) -> ...

you can catch a BadPartException, a PolicyViolationException, etc.

fileUploadExceptionReason :: FileUploadException -> Text Source #

Human-readable error message corresponding to the FileUploadException.

data BadPartException Source #

Thrown when a part is invalid in some way (e.g. the headers are too large).

badPartExceptionReason :: BadPartException -> Text Source #

Human-readable error message corresponding to the BadPartException.

policyViolationExceptionReason :: PolicyViolationException -> Text Source #

Human-readable error message corresponding to the PolicyViolationException.
