2011-07-06Add documentation for the public interface.Loïc Hoguin
This is probably not perfect yet but it should be better than nothing. We'll improve things with feedback received from the many users.
2011-06-30Fix the @equiv EDoc tagsLoïc Hoguin
2011-06-01Add function cowboy_http_req:compact/1 to regain memory.Loïc Hoguin
It removes all the non-essential data from the HTTP request record. It allows some applications to make better use of their memory, for example websockets which do not need to keep all the headers information and can simply discard it using this function.
2011-05-25Refresh the type specifications.Loïc Hoguin
Following discussions on #erlounge. Also fixes compilation in R14B03 and fixes a few underspecs dialyzer warnings.
2011-05-16Merge remote-tracking branch 'nox/path-info'Loïc Hoguin
2011-05-14Add the Server header in the HTTP replies.Loïc Hoguin
2011-05-14Add the required Date header in the HTTP replies.Loïc Hoguin
The formatted date is generated and kept up to date regularly by a gen_server process storing it in the cowboy_clock ets table. Then it is retrieved by other processes simply by reading the table.
2011-05-09Implement path_info featureAnthony Ramine
The dispatcher now accepts '...' as the leading segment of Host and the trailing segment of Path, this special atom matches any remaining path tail. When given "cowboy.bugs.dev-extend.eu", host rule ['...', <<"dev-extend">>, <<"eu">>] matches and fills host_info with [<<"cowboy">>, <<"bugs">>]. When given "/a/b/c/d", path rule [<<"a">>, <<"b">>, '...'] matches and fills path_info with [<<"c">>, <<"d">>].
2011-05-08Add chunked reply support.Loïc Hoguin
Send the status line and headers using cowboy_http_req:chunked_reply/3, and individual chunks with cowboy_http_req:chunk/2.
2011-05-08Separate building the response head from replying.Loïc Hoguin
2011-05-06Allow atoms for response header namesAnthony Ramine
2011-05-05Switch the HTTP protocol to use binary packets instead of lists.Loïc Hoguin
The server now does a single recv (or more, but only if needed) which is then sent to erlang:decode_packet/3 multiple times. Since most requests are smaller than the default MTU on many platforms, we benefit from this greatly. In the case of requests with a body, the server usually read at least part of the body on the first recv. This is bufferized properly and used when later retrieving the body. In the case of pipelined requests, we can end up reading many requests in a single recv, which are then handled properly using only the buffer containing the received data.
2011-05-04Add cowboy_http_req:port/1.Loïc Hoguin
Returns the port given in the Host header if present, otherwise the default port of 443 for HTTPS and 80 for HTTP is returned.
2011-05-04Use http_headers() type in cowboy_http_req:headers/1.Loïc Hoguin
2011-04-18Remove the include/types.hrl file.Loïc Hoguin
2011-04-18Replace port_number() by ip_port() from kernel/include/inet.hrl.Loïc Hoguin
2011-04-18Replace posix() by atom(), for now.Loïc Hoguin
The type isn't exported by OTP so we don't win much. Also, inet.erl and file.erl define posix() différently, so OTP needs to stop being so confuse in the first place before we can attempt to use it properly.
2011-04-18Move the dispatcher related types into cowboy_dispatcher.Loïc Hoguin
2011-04-17Use the inet:ip_address() type instead of the user-defined one.Loïc Hoguin
2011-04-14Fix specs for cowboy_http_req:reply/4.Loïc Hoguin
Body is iodata(), not iolist().
2011-04-14Fix a bug where dupe headers were sent in cowboy_http_req:reply/4.Loïc Hoguin
Now the server defines default headers that can be overwritten by the handler simply by passing them to the reply/4 function. Default headers include, for now, Connection and Content-Length headers. Note that it isn't enough to change the Connection header to close a keep-alive connection server-side.
2011-03-29Make the default value the last parameter of HTTP req accessorsAnthony Ramine
This makes cowboy_http_req's qs_val/3, binding/3 and header/3 behave like proplists:get_value/3.
2011-03-29Make HTTP req accessors call themselves with their default default valueAnthony Ramine
Use lists:keyfind/3 in qs_val/3, binding/3 and header/3 and make qs_val/2, binding/2 and header/2 call those.
2011-03-29Fix cowboy_http_req:body with regard to the new accessors default valueAnthony Ramine
header/2 now returns 'undefined' when the header isn't in the request.
2011-03-27Return undefined instead of failing or returning "" when a value doesn't exist.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-27Fix query string related type specs in cowboy_http_req.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-22Boring 80-col change.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-22Introduce cowboy_http_req:body_qs/1 for automated urlencoded body parsing.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-22Fix spec for cowboy_http_req:parse_qs/1.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-22Fix spec for cowboy_http_req:body/1 and body/2.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-21Fix spec for cowboy_http_req:reply/4.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-21Fix spec for cowboy_http_req:qs_vals/1.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-21Introduce cowboy_http_req:body/1 to read the full request body.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-21Skip the request body if it hasn't been read by the handler.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-20Make sure we can only reply to an HTTP request inside Handler:handle.Loïc Hoguin
Of course since requests are a record the response state can be explicitly overriden, but standard use prevents errors by making sure only one reply is sent.
2011-03-20Lazy-retrieve the peer name and port to avoid wasting time each request.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-18Move the reply function to cowboy_http_req.Loïc Hoguin
2011-03-17Initial commit.Loïc Hoguin
