2014-09-30Improve handler interface and documentationLoïc Hoguin
This change simplifies a little more the sub protocols mechanism. Aliases have been removed. The renaming of loop handlers as long polling handlers has been reverted. Plain HTTP handlers now simply do their work in the init/2 callback. There is no specific code for them. Loop handlers now follow the same return value as Websocket, they use ok to continue and shutdown to stop. Terminate reasons for all handler types have been documented. The terminate callback is now appropriately called in all cases (or should be). Behaviors for all handler types have been moved in the module that implement them. This means that cowboy_handler replaces the cowboy_http_handler behavior, and similarly cowboy_loop replaces cowboy_loop_handler, cowboy_websocket replaces cowboy_websocket_handler. Finally cowboy_rest now has the start of a behavior in it and will have the full list of optional callbacks defined once Erlang 18.0 gets released. The guide has been reorganized and should be easier to follow.
2014-09-26Unify the init and terminate callbacksLoïc Hoguin
This set of changes is the first step to simplify the writing of handlers, by removing some extraneous callbacks and making others optional. init/3 is now init/2, its first argument being removed. rest_init/2 and rest_terminate/2 have been removed. websocket_init/3 and websocket_terminate/3 have been removed. terminate/3 is now optional. It is called regardless of the type of handler, including rest and websocket. The return value of init/2 changed. It now returns {Mod, Req, Opts} with Mod being either one of the four handler type or a custom module. It can also return extra timeout and hibernate options. The signature for sub protocols has changed, they now receive these extra timeout and hibernate options. Loop handlers are now implemented in cowboy_long_polling, and will be renamed throughout the project in a future commit.
2014-09-24Small tweak from erlang:error/1 to error/1Loïc Hoguin
2014-09-24Remove the error tuple return value for middlewaresLoïc Hoguin
It wasn't interesting compared to simply returning a halt tuple with an explicit reply.
2014-09-24Remove the onrequest hookLoïc Hoguin
It was redundant with middlewares. Allows us to save a few operations for every incoming requests.
2014-09-23Make routing constraints use the fields formatLoïc Hoguin
This makes routing more in line with the rest of Cowboy and allows us to use cowboy_constraints directly.
2014-09-23Breaking update of the cowboy_req interfaceLoïc Hoguin
Simplify the interface for most cowboy_req functions. They all return a single value except the four body reading functions. The reply functions now only return a Req value. Access functions do not return a Req anymore. Functions that used to cache results do not have a cache anymore. The interface for accessing query string and cookies has therefore been changed. There are now three query string functions: qs/1 provides access to the raw query string value; parse_qs/1 returns the query string as a list of key/values; match_qs/2 returns a map containing the values requested in the second argument, after applying constraints and default value. Similarly, there are two cookie functions: parse_cookies/1 and match_cookies/2. More match functions will be added in future commits. None of the functions return an error tuple anymore. It either works or crashes. Cowboy will attempt to provide an appropriate status code in the response of crashed handlers. As a result, the content decode function has its return value changed to a simple binary, and the body reading functions only return on success.

2014-08-06Handle absolute URIs that lack a path entirelyLoïc Hoguin
2014-08-06Accept absolute URI scheme as uppercaseLoïc Hoguin
We should be doing a case insensitive comparison to be correct, but this is more expensive. Almost all clients send lowercase, this patch fixes handling of the aws/aws-sdk-php client which sends uppercase, and no known client sends mixed case so I am holding back on the more expensive solution for the moment.

2014-07-14Support ad-hoc keep-alive for HTTP/1.0 ClientsFred Hebert
Only go for keep-alive if they submit a 'connection: keep-alive' header in the request, keep behaviour the same otherwise. The new RFC 7230 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-6.3) states: If the received protocol is HTTP/1.0, the "keep-alive" connection option is present, the recipient is not a proxy, and the recipient wishes to honor the HTTP/1.0 "keep-alive" mechanism, the connection will persist after the current response; Even though clients are discouraged from doing so in Appendix A.1.2 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#appendix-A.1.2)

This is a first step to improve the HTTP status codes returned by Cowboy on crashes. We will tweak it over time. Also fixes a small bug where two replies may have been sent when using loop handlers under rare conditions.
