A typeclass for datatypes which contain HTTP headers.

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")]}

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")]}

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"

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")]

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 = []}

Enumerates the HTTP method values (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2068.html#section-5.1.1).

Equate the special case constructors with their corresponding Method name variant.

Represents a (major, minor) version of the HTTP protocol.

A datatype representing an HTTP cookie.

A type alias for the HTTP parameters mapping. Each parameter key maps to a list of ByteString values; if a parameter is specified multiple times (e.g.: "GET /foo?param=bar1&param=bar2"), looking up "param" in the mapping will give you ["bar1", "bar2"].

Contains all of the information about an incoming HTTP request.

Represents an HTTP response.

Looks up the value(s) for the given named parameter. Parameters initially come from the request's query string and any decoded POST body (if the request's Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded). Parameter values can be modified within handlers using "rqModifyParams".

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> rqParam "baz" rq
Just ["qux","quux"]

Looks up the value(s) for the given named parameter in the POST parameters 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"])]
ghci|         T.setQueryStringRaw "baz=quux"
ghci| :}
ghci> rqPostParam "baz" rq
Just ["qux"]

Looks up the value(s) for the given named parameter in the query parameters 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"])]
ghci|         T.setQueryStringRaw "baz=quux"
ghci| :}
ghci> rqQueryParam "baz" rq
Just ["quux"]

Modifies the parameters mapping (which is a Map ByteString ByteString) in a Request using the given function.

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"])]
ghci> rqParams $ rqModifyParams (M.delete "baz") rq
fromList []

Writes a key-value pair to the parameters mapping within the given request.

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"])]
ghci> rqParams $ rqSetParam "baz" ["corge"] rq
fromList [("baz", ["corge"])]

An empty Response.

Example:

ghci> emptyResponse
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Sets an HTTP response body to the given stream procedure.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified System.IO.Streams as Streams
ghci> import qualified Data.ByteString.Builder as Builder
ghci> :{
ghci| let r = setResponseBody
ghci|         (out -> do
ghci|             Streams.write (Just $ Builder.byteString "Hello, world!") out
ghci|             return out)
ghci|         emptyResponse
ghci| :}
ghci> r
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Hello, world!

Sets the HTTP response status. Note: normally you would use setResponseCode unless you needed a custom response explanation.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> setResponseStatus 500 "Internal Server Error" emptyResponse
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Sets the HTTP response code.

Example:

ghci> setResponseCode 404 emptyResponse
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Modifies a response body.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified System.IO.Streams as Streams
ghci> import qualified Data.ByteString.Builder as Builder
ghci> :{
ghci| let r = setResponseBody
ghci|         (out -> do
ghci|             Streams.write (Just $ Builder.byteString "Hello, world!") out
ghci|             return out)
ghci|         emptyResponse
ghci| :}
ghci> r
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Hello, world!
ghci> :{
ghci| let r' = modifyResponseBody
ghci|          (f out -> do
ghci|              out' <- f out
ghci|              Streams.write (Just $ Builder.byteString "\nBye, world!") out'
ghci|              return out') r
ghci| :}
ghci> r'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Hello, world!
Bye, world!

Sets the Content-Type in the Response headers.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> setContentType "text/html" emptyResponse
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: text/html

Convert Cookie into ByteString for output.

TODO: Remove duplication. This function is copied from snap-server/Snap.Internal.Http.Server.Session.

Render cookies from a given Response to Headers.

TODO: Remove duplication. This function is copied from snap-server/Snap.Internal.Http.Server.Session.

Adds an HTTP Cookie to Response headers.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> let cookie = Cookie "name" "value" Nothing Nothing Nothing False False
ghci> getResponseCookie "name" $ addResponseCookie cookie emptyResponse
Just (Cookie {cookieName = "name", cookieValue = "value", ...})

Gets an HTTP Cookie with the given name from Response headers.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> getResponseCookie "cookie-name" emptyResponse
Nothing

Returns a list of Cookies present in Response

Example:

ghci> getResponseCookies emptyResponse
[]

Deletes an HTTP Cookie from the Response headers. Please note this does not necessarily erase the cookie from the client browser.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> let cookie = Cookie "name" "value" Nothing Nothing Nothing False False
ghci> let rsp    = addResponseCookie cookie emptyResponse
ghci> getResponseCookie "name" rsp
Just (Cookie {cookieName = "name", cookieValue = "value", ...})
ghci> getResponseCookie "name" $ deleteResponseCookie "name" rsp
Nothing

Modifies an HTTP Cookie with given name in Response headers. Nothing will happen if a matching Cookie can not be found in Response.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import Data.Monoid
ghci> let cookie = Cookie "name" "value" Nothing Nothing Nothing False False
ghci> let rsp    = addResponseCookie cookie emptyResponse
ghci> getResponseCookie "name" rsp
Just (Cookie {cookieName = "name", cookieValue = "value", ...})
ghci> let f ck@(Cookie { cookieName = name }) = ck { cookieName = name <> "'"}
ghci> let rsp' = modifyResponseCookie "name" f rsp
ghci> getResponseCookie "name'" rsp'
Just (Cookie {cookieName = "name'", ...})
ghci> getResponseCookie "name" rsp'
Just (Cookie {cookieName = "name", ...})

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

Removes any Content-Length set in the Response.

Example:

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

Convert a CTime into an HTTP timestamp.

Example:

ghci> formatHttpTime . fromIntegral $ 10
"Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:10 GMT"

Convert a CTime into common log entry format.

Converts an HTTP timestamp into a CTime.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> parseHttpTime "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:10 GMT"
10
