Detailed Description

this class is used to customize and control the behavior of the Qorus HTTP server as it redirects URLs to services

If any listeners are added to the AbstractServiceHttpHandler object with addListener(), then the URL set in the object is only bound to the new listeners specified in this object. Otherwise, the URL is bound to all listeners in the system HTTP server. Override the handleRequestImpl() method to handle HTTP requests or received POSTed data.

◆ addListeners()

OMQ::AbstractServiceHttpHandler::addListeners ( softlist< auto >  l)

adds a list of listeners; each element should be either a bind string in the format: "address:port" (ex: "192.168.20.1:8011") or an integer port, meaning to bind on all interfaces on that port

If any listeners are added to the AbstractServiceHttpHandler object, then the URL set in the object is only bound to the new listeners specified in this object

Parameters
llist of listeners; each element should be a hash with the following keys:
  • "bind": (required) a bind string in the format: "address:port" (ex: "192.168.20.1:8011") or an integer port, meaning to bind on all interfaces on that port
  • "cert_file": (optional) path to an X.509 certificate file (do not include both "cert_file" and "cert")
  • "cert": (optional) a Qore::SSLCertificate object (do not include both "cert_file" and "cert")
  • "key_file": (optional) path to a private key file for an X.509 certificate (do not include both "key_file" and "key")
  • "key": (optional) a Qore::SSLPrivateKey object (do not include both "key_file" and "key")
Exceptions
ADDLISTENERS-ERRORinvalid element in argument list

◆ clearUserIndexInfo()

OMQ::AbstractServiceHttpHandler::clearUserIndexInfo ( )

clears heading and title into for user HTTP services

Since
Qorus 4.0

◆ constructor()

OMQ::AbstractServiceHttpHandler::constructor ( string  n_path,
*softlist< auto >  n_content_type,
*softlist< auto >  n_special_headers,
HttpServer::AbstractAuthenticator  n_auth = new DefaultQorusRBACAuthenticator(),
bool  n_isregex = True 
)

creates the object with the given arguments

Parameters
n_paththe regular expression for the path to match on incoming requests (ex "^my-service(\?|/|$)"); note see the isregex parameter to treat this argument as a URL root instead of a regular expression
n_content_typean optional list of Content-Types to match on incoming requests
n_special_headersan optional list of special headers to check that will indicate a match with this handler
n_auththe AbstractAuthenticator for the object; if no argument is passed, then the system RBAC authenticator is used; meaning that Qorus application users are required to connect, and the users must have the OMQ::QR_LOGIN role to connect as well
n_isregexif True, then the path argument is treated as a regular expression pattern, otherwise it is treated as a literal URL root; it's normally recommended to set this argument to False so that service file resources can be matched and served; this method has the default value True only for backwards compatibility
Example:
class MyHttpHandler inherits OMQ::AbstractServiceHttpHandler {
constructor() : OMQ::AbstractServiceHttpHandler("my-service", "text/tab-separated-values", NOTHING, NOTHING, False) {
}
}

◆ handleRequest()

hash<auto> OMQ::AbstractServiceHttpHandler::handleRequest ( hash< auto >  cx,
hash< auto >  hdr,
*data  body 
)

this method calls handleRequestImpl() to service the request, if handleRequestImpl() returns NOTHING, then it tries to automatically serve service file resources or serve the default resource if no resource can be matched

Parameters
cxcall context hash; this hash will have the following keys:
hdrincoming header hash; all keys will be converted to lower-case, additionally the following keys will be present:
  • method: the HTTP method received (ie "GET", "POST", etc)
  • path: the HTTP path given in the request, after processing by Qore::decode_url()
  • http_version: the HTTP version number in the request (either "1.0" or "1.1")
bodymessage body, if any
Returns
a hash with the following keys:
  • "code": the HTTP return code (see HttpServer::HttpCodes)
  • "body": the message body to return in the response
  • "close": (optional) set this key to True if the connection should be unconditionally closed when the handler retu rns
  • "hdr": (optional) set this key to a hash of extra header information to be returned with the response

The following keys are added to the cx argument when calling handleRequestImpl():

  • resource_path: the relative path without any query arguments and with the URL root stripped off (if the request was matched by the URL root, otherwise this will be the request path with any URI query arguments removed)
  • url_root: the root URL
  • isregex: if the url_root string is a regular expression or not (this is always False when this class is used)
  • hdr: this is added to the cx argument directly from the hdr argument, however it also includes the "params" key which holds the URI query parameters as returned in the params key from HttpServer::parse_uri_query()

To override the logic in this method and handle requests directly, override this method in your subclass.

If handleRequestImpl() returns NOTHING and no resource can be matched and served, then this method returns a 501 error code

◆ handleRequestImpl()

*hash<auto> OMQ::AbstractServiceHttpHandler::handleRequestImpl ( reference< hash< auto >>  cx,
hash< auto >  hdr,
*data  body 
)

this method is called by this class's handleRequest() before trying to service the request automatically based on service file resources

If this method returns a value; then the value is used to serve the request directly, otherwise, if it returns NOTHING, Qorus will try to match cx.resource_path with a service file resource and serve it automatically.

Example:
class MyHttpHandler inherits OMQ::AbstractServiceHttpHandler {
constructor() : OMQ::AbstractServiceHttpHandler("my-service", "text/tab-separated-values", NOTHING, NOTHING, False) {
}
*hash<auto> handleRequestImpl(hash<auto> cx, hash<auto> hdr, *data body) {
logDebug("message received: hdr=%y", hdr);
# similate a successful POST, otherwise serve service resources automatically
if (cx.method == "POST")
return ("code": 200, "body": "OK");
}
}
Parameters
cxcall context hash; this hash will have the following keys:
  • socket: the bind address used to bind the listener ("socket-info" provides more detailed information)
  • socket-info: a hash of socket information for the listening socket (as returned by Qore::Socket::getSocketInfo())
  • peer-info: a hash of socket information for the remote socket (as returned by Qore::Socket::getPeerInfo())
  • url: a hash of broken-down URL information (as returned from Qore::parse_url())
  • id: the unique HTTP connection ID
  • listener-id: the HTTP server listener ID (see HttpServer::HttpServer::getListenerInfo())
  • user: the current RBAC username (if any)
  • resource_path: the resource path without any query arguments and with the URL root stripped off (if the request was matched by the URL root, otherwise this will be the request path with any URI query arguments removed)
  • url_root: the root URL
  • isregex: if the url_root string is a regular expression or not
  • hdr: this is a copy of the hdr argument, however it also includes the "params" key which holds the URI query parameters as returned in the params key from HttpServer::parse_uri_query()
hdrincoming header hash; all keys will be converted to lower-case, additionally the following keys will be present:
  • method: the HTTP method received (ie "GET", "POST", etc)
  • path: the HTTP path given in the request, after processing by Qore::decode_url()
  • http_version: the HTTP version number in the request (either "1.0" or "1.1")
  • params: holds the URI query parameters as returned in the params key from HttpServer::parse_uri_query()
bodymessage body, if any
Returns
eother NOTHING, meaning that Qorus should try to match cx.resource_path with a service file resource and serve it automaticaly, or a hash with the following keys:
  • "code": the HTTP return code (see HttpServer::HttpCodes)
  • "body": the message body to return in the response
  • "close": (optional) set this key to True if the connection should be unconditionally closed when the handler returns
  • "hdr": (optional) set this key to a hash of extra header information to be returned with the response
Note
  • this method has the following additional keys in the cx hash: resource_path, url_root, and isregex
  • the default implementation simply returns NOTHING for all requests; reimplement this method in a subclass to provide the required functionality
  • for remote services running in independent qsvc processes, no non-serializable data types can be added to cx, or the call will fail
