Snap.Util.Proxy

Description

This module provides facilities for patching incoming Requests to correct the value of rqClientAddr if the snap server is running behind a proxy.

Example usage:

m :: Snap ()
m = undefined  -- code goes here

applicationHandler :: Snap ()
applicationHandler = behindProxy X_Forwarded_For m

Synopsis

Documentation

data ProxyType Source #

What kind of proxy is this? Affects which headers behindProxy pulls the original remote address from.

Currently only proxy servers that send X-Forwarded-For or Forwarded-For are supported.

Constructors

NoProxy

no proxy, leave the request alone

X_Forwarded_For

Use the Forwarded-For or X-Forwarded-For header

behindProxy :: MonadSnap m => ProxyType -> m a -> m a Source #

Rewrite rqClientAddr if we're behind a proxy.

Example:

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import qualified Data.Map as M
ghci> import qualified Snap.Test as T
ghci> let r = T.get "/foo" M.empty >> T.addHeader "X-Forwarded-For" "1.2.3.4"
ghci> let h = getsRequest rqClientAddr >>= writeBS)
ghci> T.runHandler r h
