Dispatch requests in the HTTP server

This module can be placed between http_wrapper.pl and the application code to associate HTTP locations to predicates that serve the pages. In addition, it associates parameters with locations that deal with timeout handling and user authentication. The typical setup is:

server(Port, Options) :-
        http_server(http_dispatch,
                    [ port(Port)
                    | Options
                    ]).

:- http_handler('/index.html', write_index, []).

write_index(Request) :-
        ...

*/

   98:- setting(http:time_limit, nonneg, 300,
   99           'Time limit handling a single query (0=infinite)').
 http_handler(+Path, :Closure, +Options) is det
Register Closure as a handler for HTTP requests. Path is either an absolute path such as '/home.html' or a term Alias(Relative). Where Alias is associated with a concrete path using http:location/3 and resolved using http_absolute_location/3. Relative can be a single atom or a term `Segment1/Segment2/...`, where each element is either an atom or a variable. If a segment is a variable it matches any segment and the binding may be passed to the closure. If the last segment is a variable it may match multiple segments. This allows registering REST paths, for example:
:- http_handler(root(user/User), user(Method, User),
                [ method(Method),
                  methods([get,port,put])
                ]).

user(get, User, Request) :-
    ...
user(post, User, Request) :-
    ...

If an HTTP request arrives at the server that matches Path, Closure is called as below, where Request is the parsed HTTP request.

call(Closure, Request)

Options is a list containing the following options:

authentication(+Type)
Demand authentication. Authentication methods are pluggable. The library http_authenticate.pl provides a plugin for user/password based Basic HTTP authentication.
chunked
Use Transfer-encoding: chunked if the client allows for it.
condition(:Goal)
If present, the handler is ignored if Goal does not succeed.
content_type(+Term)
Specifies the content-type of the reply. This value is currently not used by this library. It enhances the reflexive capabilities of this library through http_current_handler/3.
id(+Atom)
Identifier of the handler. The default identifier is the predicate name. Used by http_location_by_id/2 and http_link_to_id/3.
hide_children(+Bool)
If true on a prefix-handler (see prefix), possible children are masked. This can be used to (temporary) overrule part of the tree.
method(+Method)
Declare that the handler processes Method. This is equivalent to methods([Method]). Using method(*) allows for all methods.
methods(+ListOfMethods)
Declare that the handler processes all of the given methods. If this option appears multiple times, the methods are combined.
prefix
Call Pred on any location that is a specialisation of Path. If multiple handlers match, the one with the longest path is used. Options defined with a prefix handler are the default options for paths that start with this prefix. Note that the handler acts as a fallback handler for the tree below it:
:- http_handler(/, http_404([index('index.html')]),
                [spawn(my_pool),prefix]).
priority(+Integer)
If two handlers handle the same path, the one with the highest priority is used. If equal, the last registered is used. Please be aware that the order of clauses in multifile predicates can change due to reloading files. The default priority is 0 (zero).
spawn(+SpawnOptions)
Run the handler in a seperate thread. If SpawnOptions is an atom, it is interpreted as a thread pool name (see create_thread_pool/3). Otherwise the options are passed to http_spawn/2 and from there to thread_create/3. These options are typically used to set the stack limits.
time_limit(+Spec)
One of infinite, default or a positive number (seconds). If default, the value from the setting http:time_limit is taken. The default of this setting is 300 (5 minutes). See setting/2.

Note that http_handler/3 is normally invoked as a directive and processed using term-expansion. Using term-expansion ensures proper update through make/0 when the specification is modified.

 http_dispatch(Request) is det
Dispatch a Request using http_handler/3 registrations. It performs the following steps:
  1. Find a matching handler based on the path member of Request. If multiple handlers match due to the prefix option or variables in path segments (see http_handler/3), the longest specification is used. If multiple specifications of equal length match the one with the highest priority is used.
  2. Check that the handler matches the method member of the Request or throw permission_error(http_method, Method, Location)
  3. Expand the request using expansion hooks registered by http_request_expansion/3. This may add fields to the request, such the authenticated user, parsed parameters, etc. The hooks may also throw exceptions, notably using http_redirect/3 or by throwing http_reply(Term, ExtraHeader, Context) exceptions.
  4. Extract possible fields from the Request using e.g. method(Method) as one of the options.
  5. Call the registered closure, optionally spawning the request to a new thread or enforcing a time limit.

 http_request_expansion(:Goal, +Rank:number)
Register Goal for expanding the HTTP request handler. Goal is called as below. If Goal fail the request is passed to the next expansion unmodified.
call(Goal, Request0, Request, Options)

If multiple goals are registered they expand the request in a pipeline starting with the expansion hook with the lowest rank.

Besides rewriting the request, for example by validating the user identity based on HTTP authentication or cookies and adding this to the request, the hook may raise HTTP exceptions to indicate a bad request, permission error, etc. See http_status_reply/4.

Initially, auth_expansion/3 is registered with rank 100 to deal with the older http:authenticate/3 hook.

 http_location_by_id(+ID, -Location) is det
True when Location represents the HTTP path to which the handler with identifier ID is bound. Handler identifiers are deduced from the http_handler/3 declaration as follows:
Explicit id
If a term id(ID) appears in the option list of the handler, ID it is used and takes preference over using the predicate.
Using the handler predicate
ID matches a handler if the predicate name matches ID. The ID may have a module qualification, e.g., Module:Pred

If the handler is declared with a pattern, e.g., root(user/User), the location to access a particular user may be accessed using e.g., user('Bob'). The number of arguments to the compound term must match the number of variables in the path pattern.

A plain atom ID can be used to find a handler with a pattern. The returned location is the path up to the first variable, e.g., /user/ in the example above.

User code is adviced to use http_link_to_id/3 which can also add query parameters to the URL. This predicate is a helper for http_link_to_id/3.

Errors
- existence_error(http_handler_id, Id).

 http_link_to_id(+HandleID, +Parameters, -HREF)
HREF is a link on the local server to a handler with given ID, passing the given Parameters. This predicate is typically used to formulate a HREF that resolves to a handler implementing a particular predicate. The code below provides a typical example. The predicate user_details/1 returns a page with details about a user from a given id. This predicate is registered as a handler. The DCG user_link//1 renders a link to a user, displaying the name and calling user_details/1 when clicked. Note that the location (root(user_details)) is irrelevant in this equation and HTTP locations can thus be moved freely without breaking this code fragment.
:- http_handler(root(user_details), user_details, []).

    http_parameters(Request,
                    [ user_id(ID)

      http_link_to_id(user_details, [id(ID)], HREF)

    html(a([class(user), href(HREF)], Name)).
Arguments:
HandleID- is either an atom, possibly module qualified predicate or a compound term if the hander is defined using a pattern. See http_handler/3 and http_location_by_id/2.
Parameters- is one of
  • path_postfix(File) to pass a single value as the last segment of the HTTP location (path). This way of passing a parameter is commonly used in REST APIs.

    New code should use a path pattern in the handler declaration and a term `HandleID(Arg, ...)`

  • A list of search parameters for a GET request.

 http_redirect(+How, +To, +Request) is det
Redirect to a new location. The argument order, using the Request as last argument, allows for calling this directly from the handler declaration:
:- http_handler(root(.),

                []).
Arguments:
How- is one of moved, moved_temporary or see_other
To- is an atom, a aliased path as defined by http_absolute_location/3. or a term location_by_id(Id) or its abbreviations #(Id) or #(Id)+Parameters. If To is not absolute, it is resolved relative to the current location.

 http_switch_protocol(:Goal, +Options)
Send an "HTTP 101 Switching Protocols" reply. After sending the reply, the HTTP library calls call(Goal, InStream, OutStream), where InStream and OutStream are the raw streams to the HTTP client. This allows the communication to continue using an an alternative protocol.

If Goal fails or throws an exception, the streams are closed by the server. Otherwise Goal is responsible for closing the streams. Note that Goal runs in the HTTP handler thread. Typically, the handler should be registered using the spawn option if http_handler/3 or Goal must call thread_create/3 to allow the HTTP worker to return to the worker pool.

The streams use binary (octet) encoding and have their I/O timeout set to the server timeout (default 60 seconds). The predicate set_stream/2 can be used to change the encoding, change or cancel the timeout.

This predicate interacts with the server library by throwing an exception.

The following options are supported:

header(+Headers)
Backward compatible. Use headers(+Headers).
headers(+Headers)
Additional headers send with the reply. Each header takes the form Name(Value).

 path_tree(-Tree) is det
Compile paths into a tree. The treee is multi-rooted and represented as a list of nodes, where each node has the form:
node(PathOrPrefix, Action, Options, Children)

The tree is a potentially complicated structure. It is cached in a global variable. Note that this cache is per-thread, so each worker thread holds a copy of the tree. If handler facts are changed the generation is incremented using next_generation/0 and each worker thread will re-compute the tree on the next ocasion.
