Network.Wai.Parse

Some helpers for parsing data out of a raw WAI Request.

Documentation

parseHttpAccept :: ByteString -> [ByteString]

Parse the HTTP accept string to determine supported content types.

parseRequestBody :: BackEnd y -> Request -> IO ([Param], [File y])

Parse the body of an HTTP request. See parseRequestBodyEx for details. Note: This function does not limit the memory it allocates. When dealing with untrusted data (as is usually the case when receiving input from the internet), it is recommended to use the parseRequestBodyEx function instead.

data RequestBodyType

The mimetype of the http body. Depending on whether just parameters or parameters and files are passed, one or the other mimetype should be used.

Constructors

UrlEncoded

application/x-www-form-urlencoded (parameters only)

Multipart ByteString

multipart/form-data (parameters and files)

getRequestBodyType :: Request -> Maybe RequestBodyType

Get the mimetype of the body of an http request.

sinkRequestBody :: BackEnd y -> RequestBodyType -> IO ByteString -> IO ([Param], [File y])

sinkRequestBodyEx :: ParseRequestBodyOptions -> BackEnd y -> RequestBodyType -> IO ByteString -> IO ([Param], [File y])

Since: 3.0.16.0

type BackEnd a

Arguments

 = ByteString

parameter name

-> FileInfo ()

-> IO ByteString

-> IO a

A file uploading backend. Takes the parameter name, file name, and a stream of data.

lbsBackEnd :: Monad m => ignored1 -> ignored2 -> m ByteString -> m ByteString

Store uploaded files in memory

tempFileBackEnd :: InternalState -> ignored1 -> ignored2 -> IO ByteString -> IO FilePath

Save uploaded files on disk as temporary files

Note: starting with version 2.0, removal of temp files is registered with the provided InternalState. It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that this InternalState gets cleaned up.

tempFileBackEndOpts

Arguments

:: IO FilePath

get temporary directory

-> String

filename pattern

-> InternalState

-> ignored1

-> ignored2

-> IO ByteString

-> IO FilePath

Same as tempFileBackEnd, but use configurable temp folders and patterns.

type Param = (ByteString, ByteString)

Post parameter name and value.

type File y = (ByteString, FileInfo y)

Post parameter name and associated file information.

data FileInfo c

Information on an uploaded file.

Constructors

FileInfo

Fields

• fileName :: ByteString
• fileContentType :: ByteString
• fileContent :: c

Instances

Show c => Show (FileInfo c)

Defined in Network.Wai.Parse

Methods

showsPrec :: Int -> FileInfo c -> ShowS

show :: FileInfo c -> String

showList :: [FileInfo c] -> ShowS

Eq c => Eq (FileInfo c)

Defined in Network.Wai.Parse

Methods

(==) :: FileInfo c -> FileInfo c -> Bool

(/=) :: FileInfo c -> FileInfo c -> Bool

parseContentType :: ByteString -> (ByteString, [(ByteString, ByteString)])

Parse a content type value, turning a single ByteString into the actual content type and a list of pairs of attributes.

Since: 1.3.2

data ParseRequestBodyOptions

A data structure that describes the behavior of the parseRequestBodyEx function.

Since: 3.0.16.0

defaultParseRequestBodyOptions :: ParseRequestBodyOptions

A reasonable default set of parsing options. Maximum key/filename length: 32 bytes; maximum files: 10; filesize unlimited; maximum size for parameters: 64kbytes; maximum number of header lines: 32 bytes (applies only to headers of a mime/multipart message); maximum header line length: Apache's default for that is 8190 bytes (http:/httpd.apache.orgdocs2.2mod/core.html#limitrequestline) so we're using that here as well.

Since: 3.0.16.0

noLimitParseRequestBodyOptions :: ParseRequestBodyOptions

Do not impose any memory limits.

Since: 3.0.21.0

parseRequestBodyEx :: ParseRequestBodyOptions -> BackEnd y -> Request -> IO ([Param], [File y])

Parse the body of an HTTP request, limit resource usage. The HTTP body can contain both parameters and files. This function will return a list of key,value pairs for all parameters, and a list of key,a pairs for filenames. The a depends on the used backend that is responsible for storing the received files.

setMaxRequestKeyLength :: Int -> ParseRequestBodyOptions -> ParseRequestBodyOptions

Set the maximum length of a filename.

Since: 3.0.16.0

clearMaxRequestKeyLength :: ParseRequestBodyOptions -> ParseRequestBodyOptions

Do not limit the length of filenames.

Since: 3.0.16.0

setMaxRequestNumFiles :: Int -> ParseRequestBodyOptions -> ParseRequestBodyOptions

Set the maximum number of files per request.

Since: 3.0.16.0

clearMaxRequestNumFiles :: ParseRequestBodyOptions -> ParseRequestBodyOptions

Do not limit the maximum number of files per request.

Since: 3.0.16.0

setMaxRequestFileSize :: Int64 -> ParseRequestBodyOptions -> ParseRequestBodyOptions

Since: 3.0.16.0

clearMaxRequestFileSize :: ParseRequestBodyOptions -> ParseRequestBodyOptions

Do not limit the maximum filesize per file.

Since: 3.0.16.0

setMaxRequestFilesSize :: Int64 -> ParseRequestBodyOptions -> ParseRequestBodyOptions

Set the maximum size of all files per request.

Since: 3.0.16.0

clearMaxRequestFilesSize :: ParseRequestBodyOptions -> ParseRequestBodyOptions
