Description

This module contains the core type definitions, class instances, and functions for HTTP as well as the Snap monad, which is used for web handlers.

Synopsis

The Snap Monad

data Snap a Source #

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

Stateful access to fetch or modify an HTTP Request.

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

Stateful access to fetch or modify an HTTP Response.

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

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
```

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

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.

Access to the IO monad through a MonadIO instance:
```
a :: Snap ()
a = liftIO fireTheMissiles
```
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
```

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

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.).

runSnap Source #

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).

class (Monad m, MonadIO m, MonadBaseControl IO m, MonadPlus m, Functor m, Applicative m, Alternative m) => MonadSnap m where Source #

MonadSnap is a type class, analogous to MonadIO for IO, that makes it easy to wrap Snap inside monad transformers.

Functions for control flow and early termination

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

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.

Normal completion
Short-circuit completion, either from calling fail or finishWith
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")
before
after
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 18:41:50 GMT

OK

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

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) Source #

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)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 18:35:42 GMT

Left HTTP/1.1 200 OK

pass :: MonadSnap m => m a Source #

Fails out of a Snap monad action. This is used to indicate that you choose not to handle the given request within the given handler.

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 pass

Escaping HTTP

type EscapeHttpHandler Source #

Arguments

= ((Int -> Int) -> IO ())	timeout modifier
-> InputStream ByteString	socket read end
-> OutputStream Builder	socket write end
-> IO ()

Type of external handler passed to escapeHttp.

data EscapeSnap Source #

Used internally to implement escapeHttp.

Constructors

TerminateConnection SomeException
EscapeHttp EscapeHttpHandler

Instances

Show EscapeSnap Source #
Methods showsPrec :: Int -> EscapeSnap -> ShowS # show :: EscapeSnap -> String # showList :: [EscapeSnap] -> ShowS #
Exception EscapeSnap Source #
Methods toException :: EscapeSnap -> SomeException # fromException :: SomeException -> Maybe EscapeSnap # displayException :: EscapeSnap -> String #

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

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.

terminateConnection :: (Exception e, MonadSnap m) => e -> m a Source #

Terminate the HTTP session with the given exception.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import qualified Control.Exception as E
ghci> let r = T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty
ghci> T.runHandler r (terminateConnection $ E.AssertionFailed "Assertion failed!")
*** Exception: <terminated: Assertion failed!>

Routing

method :: MonadSnap m => Method -> m a -> m a Source #

Runs a Snap monad action only if the request's HTTP method matches the given method.

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 (method GET $ writeBS "OK")
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:38:48 GMT

OK
ghci> T.runHandler r (method POST $ writeBS "OK")
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
...

methods :: MonadSnap m => [Method] -> m a -> m a Source #

Runs a Snap monad action only if the request's HTTP method matches one of the given methods.

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 (methods [GET, POST] $ writeBS "OK")
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:38:48 GMT

OK
ghci> T.runHandler r (methods [POST] $ writeBS "OK")
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
...

path Source #

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")
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 14:15:42 GMT

bar
ghci> T.runHandler (T.get "/foo" M.empty) (path "bar" $ writeBS "baz")
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
...

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

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.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> let r = T.get "/11/foo/bar" M.empty
ghci> let f = (\i -> if i == 11 then writeBS "11" else writeBS "???")
ghci> T.runHandler r (pathArg f)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 14:27:10 GMT

11
ghci> let r' = T.get "/foo/11/bar" M.empty
ghci> T.runHandler r' (pathArg f)
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
...

dir Source #

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
ghci> let r = T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty
ghci> T.runHandler r (dir "foo" $ writeBS "OK")
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 14:52:24 GMT

OK
ghci> T.runHandler r (dir "baz" $ writeBS "OK")
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
...

ifTop :: MonadSnap m => m a -> m a Source #

Runs a Snap monad action only when rqPathInfo is empty.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> let r = T.get "/" M.empty
ghci> T.runHandler r (ifTop $ writeBS OK)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 14:56:39 GMT

OK
ghci> let r' = T.get "/foo" M.empty
ghci> T.runHandler r' (ifTop $ writeBS "OK")
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
...

route :: MonadSnap m => [(ByteString, m a)] -> m a Source #

A web handler which, given a mapping from URL entry points to web handlers, efficiently routes requests to the correct handler.

Usage

The URL entry points are given as relative paths, for example:

route [ ("foo/bar/quux", fooBarQuux) ]

If the URI of the incoming request is /foo/bar/quux or /foo/bar/quux/...anything... then the request will be routed to "fooBarQuux", with rqContextPath set to "/foo/bar/quux/" and rqPathInfo set to "...anything...".

A path component within an URL entry point beginning with a colon (":") is treated as a variable capture; the corresponding path component within the request URI will be entered into the rqParams parameters mapping with the given name. For instance, if the routes were:

route [ ("foo/:bar/baz", fooBazHandler) ]

Then a request for "/foo/saskatchewan/baz" would be routed to fooBazHandler with a mapping for "bar" => "saskatchewan" in its parameters table.

Longer paths are matched first, and specific routes are matched before captures. That is, if given routes:

[ ("a", h1), ("a/b", h2), ("a/:x", h3) ]

a request for "/a/b" will go to h2, "/a/s" for any s will go to h3, and "/a" will go to h1.

The following example matches "/article" to an article index, "/login" to a login, and "/article/..." to an article renderer.

route [ ("article",     renderIndex)
      , ("article/:id", renderArticle)
      , ("login",       method POST doLogin) ]

Note: URL decoding

A short note about URL decoding: path matching and variable capture are done on decoded URLs, but the contents of rqContextPath and rqPathInfo will contain the original encoded URL, i.e. what the user entered. For example, in the following scenario:

route [ ("a b c d/", foo ) ]

A request for "/a+b+c+d" will be sent to foo with rqContextPath set to "a+b+c+d".

This behaviour changed as of Snap 0.6.1; previous versions had unspecified (and buggy!) semantics here.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as Map
ghci> import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B8
ghci> import Snap.Test
ghci> :{
ghci| let handler = do r <- getRequest
ghci|                  writeBS $ "rqContextPath: " <> rqContextPath r <> "\n"
ghci|                  writeBS $ "rqPathInfo: " <> rqPathInfo r <> "\n"
ghci|                  writeBS $ "rqParams: " <> (B8.pack . show $ rqParams r)
ghci| :}
ghci> runHandler (get "/foo/bar" "Map.empty") (route [("foo", handler)])
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Sat, 02 Aug 2014 05:16:59 GMT

rqContextPath: /foo/
rqPathInfo: bar
rqParams: fromList []
ghci> runHandler (get "/foo/bar" "Map.empty") (route [("foo/:bar", handler)])
[...]

rqContextPath: /foo/bar/
rqPathInfo:
rqParams: fromList [("bar",["bar"])]

routeLocal :: MonadSnap m => [(ByteString, m a)] -> m a Source #

The routeLocal function is the same as route, except it doesn't change the request's context path. This is useful if you want to route to a particular handler but you want that handler to receive the rqPathInfo as it is.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B8
ghci> import Snap.Test
ghci> :{
ghci| let handler = do r <- getRequest
ghci|                  writeBS $ "rqContextPath: " <> rqContextPath r <> "\n"
ghci|                  writeBS $ "rqPathInfo: " <> rqPathInfo r <> "\n"
ghci|                  writeBS $ "rqParams: " <> (B8.pack . show $ rqParams r)
ghci| :}
ghci> runHandler (get "/foo/bar" M.empty) (routeLocal [("foo", handler)])
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: Snap/test
date: Sat, 02 Aug 2014 05:17:28 GMT

rqContextPath: /
rqPathInfo: foo/bar
ghci> runHandler (get "/foo/bar" M.empty) (routeLocal [("foo/:bar", handler)])
[...]

rqContextPath: /
rqPathInfo: foo/bar
rqParams: fromList [("bar",["bar"])]

Logging

logError :: MonadSnap m => ByteString -> m () Source #

Log an error message in the Snap monad.

Example:

ghci> import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B8
ghci> runSnap (logError "fatal error!") (error . B8.unpack) undefined undefined
*** Exception: fatal error!

Grabbing/transforming request bodies

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

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:

readRequestBody Source #

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 Source #

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)

Headers

addHeader :: HasHeaders a => CI ByteString -> ByteString -> a -> a Source #

Adds a header key-value-pair to the HasHeaders datatype. If a header with the same name already exists, the new value is appended to the headers list.

Example:

ghci> import qualified Snap.Types.Headers as H
ghci> addHeader "Host" "localhost" H.empty
H {unH = [("host","localhost")]}
ghci> addHeader "Host" "127.0.0.1" it
H {unH = [("host","localhost,127.0.0.1")]}

setHeader :: HasHeaders a => CI ByteString -> ByteString -> a -> a Source #

Sets a header key-value-pair in a HasHeaders datatype. If a header with the same name already exists, it is overwritten with the new value.

Example:

ghci> import qualified Snap.Types.Headers as H
ghci> setHeader "Host" "localhost" H.empty
H {unH = [("host","localhost")]}
ghci> setHeader "Host" "127.0.0.1" it
H {unH = [("host","127.0.0.1")]}

getHeader :: HasHeaders a => CI ByteString -> a -> Maybe ByteString Source #

Gets a header value out of a HasHeaders datatype.

Example:

ghci> import qualified Snap.Types.Headers as H
ghci> getHeader "Host" $ setHeader "Host" "localhost" H.empty
Just "localhost"

listHeaders :: HasHeaders a => a -> [(CI ByteString, ByteString)] Source #

Lists all the headers out of a HasHeaders datatype. If many headers came in with the same name, they will be catenated together.

Example:

ghci> import qualified Snap.Types.Headers as H
ghci> listHeaders $ setHeader "Host" "localhost" H.empty
[("host","localhost")]

deleteHeader :: HasHeaders a => CI ByteString -> a -> a Source #

Clears a header value from a HasHeaders datatype.

Example:

ghci> import qualified Snap.Types.Headers as H
ghci> deleteHeader "Host" $ setHeader "Host" "localhost" H.empty
H {unH = []}

ipHeaderFilter :: MonadSnap m => m () Source #

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 () Source #

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.

[]

rqPathInfo :: Request -> ByteString Source #

Handlers can be hung on a URI "entry point"; this is called the "context path". If a handler is hung on the context path "/foo/", and you request "/foo/bar", the value of rqPathInfo will be "bar".

The following identity holds:

rqURI r == S.concat [ rqContextPath r
                    , rqPathInfo r
                    , let q = rqQueryString r
                      in if S.null q
                           then ""
                           else S.append "?" q
                    ]

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> rqPathInfo `fmap` T.buildRequest (T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty)
"foo/bar"

rqContextPath :: Request -> ByteString Source #

The "context path" of the request; catenating rqContextPath, and rqPathInfo should get you back to the original rqURI (ignoring query strings). The rqContextPath always begins and ends with a slash ("/") character, and represents the path (relative to your component/snaplet) you took to get to your handler.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> rqContextPath `fmap` T.buildRequest (T.get "/foo/bar" M.empty)

ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> rq <- T.buildRequest (T.get "/foo/bar" (M.fromList [("name", ["value"])]))
ghci> rqQueryString rq
"name=value"

rqParams :: Request -> Params Source #

Returns the parameters mapping for this Request. "Parameters" are automatically decoded from the URI's query string and POST body and entered into this mapping. The rqParams value is thus a union of rqQueryParams and rqPostParams.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> :{
ghci| rq <- T.buildRequest $ do
ghci|         T.postUrlEncoded "/foo/bar" $ M.fromList [("baz", ["qux"])]
ghci|         T.setQueryStringRaw "baz=quux"
ghci| :}
ghci> rqParams rq
fromList [("baz",["qux","quux"])]

rqQueryParams :: Request -> Params Source #

The parameter mapping decoded from the URI's query string.

Example:

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

ghci| :}
ghci> rqQueryParams rq
fromList [("baz",["quux"])]

rqPostParams :: Request -> Params Source #

The parameter mapping decoded from the POST body. Note that Snap only auto-decodes POST request bodies when the request's Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded. For multipart/form-data use handleFileUploads to decode the POST request and fill this mapping.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> :{
ghci| rq <- T.buildRequest $ do
ghci|         T.postUrlEncoded "/foo/bar" $ M.fromList [("baz", ["qux"])]

setContentLength :: Word64 -> Response -> Response Source #

A note here: if you want to set the Content-Length for the response, Snap forces you to do it with this function rather than by setting it in the headers; the Content-Length in the headers will be ignored.

The reason for this is that Snap needs to look up the value of Content-Length for each request, and looking the string value up in the headers and parsing the number out of the text will be too expensive.

If you don't set a content length in your response, HTTP keep-alive will be disabled for HTTP/1.0 clients, forcing a Connection: close. For HTTP/1.1 clients, Snap will switch to the chunked transfer encoding if Content-Length is not specified.

Example:

ghci> setContentLength 400 emptyResponse
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 400

clearContentLength :: Response -> Response Source #

Removes any Content-Length set in the Response.

Example:

ghci> clearContentLength $ setContentLength 400 emptyResponse
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

redirect :: MonadSnap m => ByteString -> m a Source #

Performs a redirect by setting the Location header to the given target URL/path and the status code to 302 in the Response object stored in a Snap monad. Note that the target URL is not validated in any way. Consider using redirect' instead, which allows you to choose the correct status code.

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 (redirect "http://snapframework.com")
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
content-length: 0
location: http://snapframework.com
server: Snap/test
date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 08:52:11 GMT
Content-Length: 0

redirect' :: MonadSnap m => ByteString -> Int -> m a Source #

Performs a redirect by setting the Location header to the given target URL/path and the status code (should be one of 301, 302, 303 or 307) in the Response object stored in a Snap monad. Note that the target URL is not validated in any way.

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 (redirect' "http://snapframework.com" 301)
HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect
content-length: 0
location: http://snapframework.com
server: Snap/test

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

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"
