newtype Snap a

Snap is the Monad that user web handlers run in. Snap gives you:

1. Stateful access to fetch or modify an HTTP Request.

   printRqContextPath :: Snap ()
   printRqContextPath = writeBS . rqContextPath =<< getRequest
   

2. Stateful access to fetch or modify an HTTP Response.

   printRspStatusReason :: Snap ()
   printRspStatusReason = writeBS . rspStatusReason =<< getResponse
   

3. Failure / Alternative / MonadPlus semantics: a Snap handler can choose not to handle a given request, using empty or its synonym pass, and you can try alternative handlers with the <|> operator:

   a :: Snap String
   a = pass
   
   b :: Snap String
   b = return "foo"
   
   c :: Snap String
   c = a <|> b             -- try running a, if it fails then try b
   

4. Convenience functions (writeBS, writeLBS, writeText, writeLazyText, addToOutput) for queueing output to be written to the Response, or for streaming to the response using io-streams:

   example :: (OutputStream Builder -> IO (OutputStream Builder)) -> Snap ()
   example streamProc = do
       writeBS   "I'm a strict bytestring"
       writeLBS  "I'm a lazy bytestring"
       writeText "I'm strict text"
       addToOutput streamProc
   

5. Early termination: if you call finishWith:

   a :: Snap ()
   a = do
       modifyResponse $ setResponseStatus 500 "Internal Server Error"
       writeBS "500 error"
       r <- getResponse
       finishWith r
   

   then any subsequent processing will be skipped and the supplied Response value will be returned from runSnap as-is.

6. Access to the IO monad through a MonadIO instance:

   a :: Snap ()
   a = liftIO fireTheMissiles
   

7. The ability to set or extend a timeout which will kill the handler thread after N seconds of inactivity (the default is 20 seconds):

   a :: Snap ()
   a = setTimeout 30
   

8. Throw and catch exceptions using a MonadBaseControl instance:

   import Control.Exception.Lifted (SomeException, throwIO, catch)
   
   foo :: Snap ()
   foo = bar `catch` (e::SomeException) -> baz
     where
       bar = throwIO FooException
   

9. Log a message to the error log:

   foo :: Snap ()
   foo = logError "grumble."
   

You may notice that most of the type signatures in this module contain a (MonadSnap m) => ... typeclass constraint. MonadSnap is a typeclass which, in essence, says "you can get back to the Snap monad from here". Using MonadSnap you can extend the Snap monad with additional functionality and still have access to most of the Snap functions without writing lift everywhere. Instances are already provided for most of the common monad transformers (ReaderT, WriterT, StateT, etc.).

runRequestBody :: MonadSnap m => (InputStream ByteString -> IO a) -> m a

Pass the request body stream to a consuming procedure, returning the result.

If the consuming procedure you pass in here throws an exception, Snap will attempt to clear the rest of the unread request body (using skipToEof) before rethrowing the exception. If you used terminateConnection, however, Snap will give up and immediately close the socket.

To prevent slowloris attacks, the connection will be also terminated if the input socket produces data too slowly (500 bytes per second is the default limit).

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B8
ghci> import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as L
ghci> import Data.Char (toUpper)
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import qualified System.IO.Streams as Streams
ghci> let r = T.put "/foo" "text/plain" "some text"
ghci> :{
ghci| let f s = do u <- Streams.map (B8.map toUpper) s
ghci|              l <- Streams.toList u
ghci|              return $ L.fromChunks l
ghci| :}

SOME TEXT

readRequestBody

Arguments

:: MonadSnap m

=> Word64

size of the largest request body we're willing to accept. If a request body longer than this is received, a TooManyBytesReadException is thrown. See takeNoMoreThan.

-> m ByteString

Returns the request body as a lazy bytestring. /Note that the request is not actually provided lazily!/

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> let r = T.put "/foo" "text/plain" "some text"
ghci> T.runHandler r (readRequestBody 2048 >>= writeLBS)

transformRequestBody

Arguments

:: (InputStream ByteString -> IO (InputStream ByteString))

the InputStream from the Request is passed to this function, and then the resulting InputStream is fed to the output.

-> Snap ()

Normally Snap is careful to ensure that the request body is fully consumed after your web handler runs, but before the Response body is streamed out the socket. If you want to transform the request body into some output in O(1) space, you should use this function.

Take care: in order for this to work, the HTTP client must be written with input-to-output streaming in mind.

Note that upon calling this function, response processing finishes early as if you called finishWith. Make sure you set any content types, headers, cookies, etc. before you call this function.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B8
ghci> import Data.Char (toUpper)
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import qualified System.IO.Streams as Streams
ghci> let r = T.put "/foo" "text/plain" "some text"
ghci> let f = Streams.map (B8.map toUpper)
ghci> T.runHandler r (transformRequestBody f >> readRequestBody 2048 >>= writeLBS)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 20:30:15 GMT

SOME TEXT

finishWith :: MonadSnap m => Response -> m a

Short-circuits a Snap monad action early, storing the given Response value in its state.

IMPORTANT: Be vary careful when using this with things like a DB library's withTransaction function or any other kind of setup/teardown block, as it can prevent the cleanup from being called and result in resource leaks.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import Control.Applicative
ghci> let r = T.get "/" M.empty
ghci> T.runHandler r ((ifTop $ writeBS "TOP") <|> finishWith emptyResponse)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 16:58:57 GMT

TOP
ghci> let r' = T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty
ghci> T.runHandler r' ((ifTop $ writeBS "TOP") <|> finishWith emptyResponse)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:50:50 GMT

catchFinishWith :: Snap a -> Snap (Either Response a)

Capture the flow of control in case a handler calls finishWith.

WARNING: in the event of a call to transformRequestBody it is possible to violate HTTP protocol safety when using this function. If you call catchFinishWith it is suggested that you do not modify the body of the Response which was passed to the finishWith call.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B8
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import Control.Applicative
ghci> let r = T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty
ghci> let h = (ifTop $ writeBS "TOP") <|> finishWith emptyResponse
ghci> T.runHandler r (catchFinishWith h >>= writeBS . B8.pack . show)

dir

Arguments

:: MonadSnap m

=> ByteString

path component to match

-> m a

handler to run

-> m a

Runs a Snap monad action only when the rqPathInfo of the request starts with the given path. For example,

dir "foo" handler

Will fail if rqPathInfo is not "/foo" or "/foo/...", and will add "foo/" to the handler's local rqContextPath.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T

path

Arguments

:: MonadSnap m

=> ByteString

path to match against

-> m a

handler to run

-> m a

Runs a Snap monad action only for requests where rqPathInfo is exactly equal to the given string. If the path matches, locally sets rqContextPath to the old value of rqPathInfo, sets rqPathInfo="", and runs the given handler.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> T.runHandler (T.get "/foo" M.empty) (path "foo" $ writeBS "bar")

...

pathArg :: (Readable a, MonadSnap m) => (a -> m b) -> m b

Runs a Snap monad action only when the first path component is successfully parsed as the argument to the supplied handler function.

Note that the path segment is url-decoded prior to being passed to fromBS; this is new as of snap-core 0.10.

sendFile :: MonadSnap m => FilePath -> m ()

Sets the output to be the contents of the specified file.

Calling sendFile will overwrite any output queued to be sent in the Response. If the response body is not modified after the call to sendFile, Snap will use the efficient sendfile() system call on platforms that support it.

If the response body is modified (using modifyResponseBody), the file will be read using mmap().

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> writeFile "/tmp/snap-file" "Hello, sendFile world"
ghci> let r = T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty
ghci> T.runHandler r (sendFile "/tmp/snap-file")

Hello, sendFile world

sendFilePartial :: MonadSnap m => FilePath -> (Word64, Word64) -> m ()

Sets the output to be the contents of the specified file, within the given (start,end) range.

Calling sendFilePartial will overwrite any output queued to be sent in the Response. If the response body is not modified after the call to sendFilePartial, Snap will use the efficient sendfile() system call on platforms that support it.

If the response body is modified (using modifyResponseBody), the file will be read using mmap().

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> writeFile "/tmp/snap-file" "Hello, sendFilePartial world"

localRequest :: MonadSnap m => (Request -> Request) -> m a -> m a

Runs a Snap action with a locally-modified Request state object. The Request object in the Snap monad state after the call to localRequest will be unchanged. Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> let r = T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty
ghci> r' <- T.buildRequest $ T.get "/bar/foo" M.empty
ghci> let printRqURI = getsRequest rqURI >>= writeBS >> writeBS "\n"
ghci> T.runHandler r (printRqURI >> localRequest (const r') printRqURI)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test

/foo/bar
/bar/foo

withRequest :: MonadSnap m => (Request -> m a) -> m a

Fetches the Request from state and hands it to the given action. Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import Control.Monad.IO.Class
ghci> let r = T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty
ghci> let h = withRequest (\rq -> liftIO (T.requestToString rq) >>= writeBS)
ghci> T.runHandler r h
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Wed, 06 Aug 2014 15:44:24 GMT

GET /foo/bar HTTP/1.1
host: localhost

withResponse :: MonadSnap m => (Response -> m a) -> m a

Fetches the Response from state and hands it to the given action. Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> let r = T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty
ghci> T.runHandler r (withResponse $ writeBS . rspStatusReason)

ipHeaderFilter :: MonadSnap m => m ()

Modifies the Request in the state to set the rqRemoteAddr field to the value in the X-Forwarded-For header. If the header is not present, this action has no effect.

This action should be used only when working behind a reverse http proxy that sets the X-Forwarded-For header. This is the only way to ensure the value in the X-Forwarded-For header can be trusted.

This is provided as a filter so actions that require the remote address can get it in a uniform manner. It has specifically limited functionality to ensure that its transformation can be trusted, when used correctly.

ipHeaderFilter' :: MonadSnap m => CI ByteString -> m ()

Modifies the Request in the state to set the rqRemoteAddr field to the value from the header specified. If the header specified is not present, this action has no effect.

This action should be used only when working behind a reverse http proxy that sets the header being looked at. This is the only way to ensure the value in the header can be trusted.

This is provided as a filter so actions that require the remote address can get it in a uniform manner. It has specifically limited functionality to ensure that its transformation can be trusted, when used correctly.

bracketSnap :: IO a -> (a -> IO b) -> (a -> Snap c) -> Snap c

This function brackets a Snap action in resource acquisition and release. This is provided because MonadCatchIO's bracket function doesn't work properly in the case of a short-circuit return from the action being bracketed.

In order to prevent confusion regarding the effects of the aquisition and release actions on the Snap state, this function doesn't accept Snap actions for the acquire or release actions.

This function will run the release action in all cases where the acquire action succeeded. This includes the following behaviors from the bracketed Snap action.

1. Normal completion
2. Short-circuit completion, either from calling fail or finishWith
3. An exception being thrown.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> let br = bracketSnap (putStrLn "before") (const $ putStrLn "after")
ghci> T.runHandler (T.get "/" M.empty) (br $ const $ writeBS "OK")

escapeHttp :: MonadSnap m => EscapeHttpHandler -> m ()

Terminate the HTTP session and hand control to some external handler, escaping all further HTTP traffic.

The external handler takes three arguments: a function to modify the thread's timeout, and a read and a write ends to the socket.

runSnap

Arguments

:: Snap a

Action to run.

-> (ByteString -> IO ())

Error logging action.

-> ((Int -> Int) -> IO ())

Timeout action.

-> Request

HTTP request.

-> IO (Request, Response)

Runs a Snap monad action.

This function is mostly intended for library writers; instead of invoking runSnap directly, use httpServe or runHandler (for testing).

fixupResponse :: Request -> Response -> IO Response

Post-process a finalized HTTP response:

• fixup content-length header
• properly handle 204/304 responses
• if request was HEAD, remove response body

Note that we do NOT deal with transfer-encoding: chunked or "connection: close" here.
