jbe@0
|
10 This function initializes the Moonbridge Network Server. It may be called
|
|
jbe@0
|
11 multiple times. However, it is not allowed to register additional listeners by
|
|
jbe@0
|
12 calling listen(...) from a "prepare", "connect", or "finish" handler.
|
|
jbe@0
|
13
|
|
jbe@0
|
14 See file "example.lua" for parametrization of the listen(...) function.
|

|
|
jbe@0
|
16 Warning: Moonbridge will fork the Lua environment to handle parallel requests.
|
|
jbe@0
|
17 Functions provided as "prepare", "connect", and "finish" handlers may access
|
|
jbe@0
|
18 global variables, but for every child process these global variables will not
|
|
jbe@0
|
19 be shared! If you require a global state, a DBMS, cache server, or similar is
|
|
jbe@0
|
20 necessary.

24 Global function timeout(...)
|
|
jbe@50
|
25 ----------------------------
|
|
jbe@50
|
26
|
|
jbe@50
|
27 Calling this function with a positive number (time in seconds) sets a timer
|
|
jbe@50
|
28 that kills the current process after the selected time runs out. The remaining
|
|
jbe@50
|
29 time can be queried by calling this function without arguments.
|
|
jbe@50
|
30
|
|
jbe@50
|
31 Calling this function with a single argument that is the number zero will
|
|
jbe@50
|
32 disable the timeout.
|
|
jbe@50
|
33
|
|
jbe@50
|
34 Another mode of operation is selected by passing two arguments: a time (in
|
|
jbe@50
|
35 seconds) as first argument and a function as second argument. In this case, a
|
|
jbe@50
|
36 sub-timer will be used to limit the execution time of the function. In case of
|
|
jbe@50
|
37 timeout, the process will be killed (and the timeout function does not return).
|
|
jbe@50
|
38 If the time for the sub-timer is longer than a previously set timeout (using
|
|
jbe@50
|
39 the timeout(...) function with one argument), the shorter timeout (of the
|
|
jbe@50
|
40 previous call of timeout(...)) will have precedence.
|
|
jbe@50
|
41
|
|
jbe@52
|
42 Timers are also automatically reset (disabled) when a handler (prepare handler
|
|
jbe@52
|
43 or connect handler) returns. To shutdown processes after a certain time waiting
|
|
jbe@52
|
44 for a new request, use the idle_time parameter of the listen function.

48 Socket object passed to "connect" handler
|
|
jbe@0
|
49 -----------------------------------------
|
|
jbe@0
|
50
|
|
jbe@0
|
51 For every incoming connection, the registered "connect" handler is called with
|
|
jbe@0
|
52 a single socket object as argument, which is described below:
|
|
jbe@0
|
53
|
|
jbe@0
|
54
|
|
jbe@94
|
55 ### socket:close()
|
|
jbe@0
|
56
|
|
jbe@0
|
57 Closes the socket connection (input and output stream) by flushing all data and
|
|
jbe@94
|
58 sending a TCP FIN packet.
|
|
jbe@91
|
59
|
|
jbe@91
|
60 Returns true on success, or nil plus error message in case of an I/O error.
|
|
jbe@91
|
61 Using this method on sockets that have already been closed (or reset) will
|
|
jbe@91
|
62 throw an error.
|
|
jbe@0
|
63
|
|
jbe@0
|
64 Warning: Pending data on the input stream may cause connection aborts (TCP RST)
|
|
jbe@94
|
65 when network connections are used. All pending input data should have been read
|
|
jbe@94
|
66 (or drained) before calling socket:close(). Use socket:finish() to send a
|
|
jbe@94
|
67 TCP FIN packet to the peer before waiting for EOF from the peer.
|
|
jbe@91
|
68
|
|
jbe@218
|
69 A socket passed to the "connect" handler will be closed automatically if it was
|
|
jbe@218
|
70 not closed by the "connect" handler and if the "connect" handler returns
|
|
jbe@218
|
71 normally (i.e. without throwing an error). If the "connect" handler throws an
|
|
jbe@218
|
72 error, then the socket will be reset. See socket:reset().
|
|
jbe@218
|
73
|
|
jbe@91
|
74
|
|
jbe@91
|
75 ### socket:drain(maxlen, terminator)
|
|
jbe@0
|
76
|
|
jbe@91
|
77 Same as socket:read(maxlen, terminator), but discards the input and returns the
|
|
jbe@143
|
78 number of discarded bytes (as first return value) and the status code ("term",
|
|
jbe@143
|
79 "maxlen", "eof" as second return value).
|
|
jbe@91
|
80
|
|
jbe@91
|
81 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
82 second return value) are returned.
|
|
jbe@0
|
83
|
|
jbe@0
|
84
|
|
jbe@144
|
85 ### socket:drain_call(waitfunc, maxlen, terminator)
|
|
jbe@144
|
86
|
|
jbe@144
|
87 Same as socket:drain(maxlen, terminator), but calls waitfunc(socket, "r") (in
|
|
jbe@144
|
88 an infinite loop) as long as the reading is blocked.
|
|
jbe@144
|
89
|
|
jbe@144
|
90
|
|
jbe@91
|
91 ### socket:drain_nb(maxlen, terminator)
|
|
jbe@0
|
92
|
|
jbe@143
|
93 Same as socket:drain(maxlen, terminator), but non-blocking. The status code
|
|
jbe@143
|
94 (which is returned as second return value) may therefore be "term", "maxlen",
|
|
jbe@143
|
95 "eof", or "block".
|
|
jbe@91
|
96
|
|
jbe@91
|
97 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
98 second return value) are returned.
|
|
jbe@91
|

|
|
jbe@144
|
101 ### socket:drain_yield(maxlen, terminator)
|
|
jbe@144
|
102
|
|
jbe@144
|
103 Alias for socket:drain_call(coroutine.yield, maxlen, terminator)
|
|
jbe@144
|
104
|
|
jbe@144
|
105
|
|
jbe@94
|
106 ### socket:finish()
|
|
jbe@94
|
107
|
|
jbe@94
|
108 Sends a TCP FIN packet to indicate EOF on write stream. Subsequent reads are
|
|
jbe@94
|
109 still possible. When there is no more input data to be read, the connection
|
|
jbe@94
|
110 should finally be closed with socket:close().
|
|
jbe@94
|
111
|
|
jbe@94
|
112 In case of local sockets (Unix Domain Sockets), socket:finish() simply closes
|
|
jbe@94
|
113 the underlying socket and emulates EOF on subsequent reads. Also in this case,
|
|
jbe@94
|
114 the connection should be finally closed with socket:close().
|
|
jbe@94
|
115
|
|
jbe@94
|
116
|
|
jbe@91
|
117 ### socket:flush(...)
|
|
jbe@91
|
118
|
|
jbe@91
|
119 Same as socket:write(...) but additionally flushes the socket (i.e. all pending
|
|
jbe@91
|
120 data is passed to the operating system).
|
|
jbe@91
|
121
|
|
jbe@91
|
122 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
123 second return value) are returned. On success, the socket userdata object is
|
|
jbe@91
|
124 returned.
|
|
jbe@91
|
125
|
|
jbe@0
|
126
|

jbe@145
|
127 ### socket:flush_call(waitfunc, ...)
|
|
jbe@145
|
128
|
|
jbe@152
|
129 Same as socket:flush(...), but calls waitfunc() (in an infinite loop) as long
|
|
jbe@152
|
130 as the writing is blocked.
|
|
jbe@145
|
131
|
|
jbe@145
|
132
|
|
jbe@91
|
133 ### socket:flush_nb(...)
|
|
jbe@91
|
134
|
|
jbe@91
|
135 Same as socket:write_nb(...) but additionally flushes the socket (i.e. all
|
|
jbe@91
|
136 pending data is passed to the operating system). The total number of bytes that
|
|
jbe@91
|
137 could not be passed yet to the operating system is returned. Zero is returned
|
|
jbe@91
|
138 if all data could be flushed out.
|
|
jbe@91
|
139
|
|
jbe@91
|
140 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
141 second return value) are returned.

jbe@145
|
145
|
|
jbe@145
|
146 Alias for socket:flush_call(coroutine.yield, ...)

jbe@0
|
149 ### socket.interval
|
|
jbe@0
|
150
|
|
jbe@0
|
151 Set to the name of an interval timer if the "connect" handler was called due to
|
|
jbe@0
|
152 an elapsed interval timer. Otherwise nil.
|
|
jbe@0
|
153
|

jbe@0
|
155 ### socket.local_ip4
|
|
jbe@0
|
156
|
|
jbe@0
|
157 Local IPv4 address used for the connection. Encoded as 4 raw bytes in form of a
|
|
jbe@0
|
158 string.
|
|
jbe@0
|
159
|
|
jbe@0

161 ### socket.local_ip6
|
|
jbe@0
|
162
|
|
jbe@0
|
163 Local IPv6 address used for the connection. Encoded as 16 raw bytes in form of
|
|
jbe@0
|
164 a string.
|
|
jbe@0
|
165
|
|
jbe@0
|
166
|
|
jbe@0
|
167 ### socket.local_tcpport
|
|
jbe@0
|
168
|
|
jbe@0
|
169 Local TCP port used for the connection.
|
|
jbe@0
|
170
|
|
jbe@0
|
171
|
|
jbe@91
|
172 ### socket:read(maxlen, terminator)
|
|
jbe@0
|
173
|
|
jbe@143
|
174 Reads up to maxlen bytes or until an optional termination character is
|
|
jbe@91
|
175 encountered (which is included in the result). The maxlen value may be nil, in
|
|
jbe@91
|
176 which case there is no limit on the number of bytes read.
|
|
jbe@0
|
177
|
|
jbe@91
|
178 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
179 second return value) are returned.
|
|
jbe@0
|
180
|
|
jbe@143
|
181 In all other cases (including EOF), the following two values are returned:
|
|
jbe@143
|
182
|
|
jbe@143
|
183 - a string containing the bytes read (first return value, may be empty string)
|
|
jbe@143
|
184 - a status code equal to "term", "maxlen", or "eof" (second return value)
|
|
jbe@143
|
185
|
|
jbe@143
|
186 If an EOF is encountered before all data could be read, then "eof" is returned
|
|
jbe@143
|
187 as second return value. If maxlen bytes have been read and no termination
|
|
jbe@143
|
188 character has been read, then "maxlen" is returned as second return value. If
|
|
jbe@143
|
189 the termination character is the last character of the read string, the second
|
|
jbe@143
|
190 return value will be "term".
|
|
jbe@143
|
191
|
|
jbe@0
|
192
|
|
jbe@140
|
193 ### socket:read_call(waitfunc, maxlen, terminator)
|
|
jbe@140
|
194
|
|
jbe@152
|
195 Same as socket:read(maxlen, terminator), but calls waitfunc() (in an infinite
|
|
jbe@152
|
196 loop) as long as the reading is blocked.
|
|
jbe@140
|
197
|
|
jbe@140
|
198
|
|
jbe@91
|
199 ### socket:read_nb(maxlen, terminator)
|
|
jbe@91
|
200
|
|
jbe@143
|
201 Same as socket:read(maxlen, terminator), but does not block.
|
|
jbe@91
|
202
|
|
jbe@91
|
203 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
204 second return value) are returned.
|
|
jbe@78
|
205
|
|
jbe@143
|
206 In all other cases (including EOF), the following two values are returned:
|
|
jbe@143
|
207
|
|
jbe@143
|
208 - a string containing the bytes read (first return value, may be empty string)
|
|
jbe@143
|
209 - a status code equal to "term", "maxlen", "eof", "block" (second return value)
|
|
jbe@143
|
210
|
|
jbe@143
|
211 The status code "block" as second return value is used if the function returned
|
|
jbe@143
|
212 prematurely because it would block otherwise. In this case, the first return
|
|
jbe@143
|
213 value is a string that contains the bytes that could be read without blocking.
|
|
jbe@143
|
214
|
|
jbe@78
|
215
|

216 ### socket:read_yield(maxlen, terminator)
|
|
jbe@140
|
217
|
|
jbe@140
|
218 Alias for socket:read_call(coroutine.yield, maxlen, terminator)

jbe@140
|
219
|
|
jbe@140
|
220
|
|
jbe@0
|
221 ### socket.remote_ip4
|
|
jbe@0
|
222
|
|
jbe@0
|
223 Remote IPv4 address used for the connection. Encoded as 4 raw bytes in form of
|
|
jbe@0
|
224 a string.
|
|
jbe@0
|
225
|
|
jbe@0

|
|
jbe@0
|
227 ### socket.remote_ip6
|
|
jbe@0
|
228
|
|
jbe@0
|
229 Remote IPv6 address used for the connection. Encoded as 16 raw bytes in form of
|
|
jbe@0
|
230 a string.
|
|
jbe@0
|
231
|
|
jbe@0
|
232
|
|
jbe@0
|
233 ### socket.remote_tcpport
|
|
jbe@0
|
234
|
|
jbe@0
|
235 Remote TCP port used for the connection.

236
|
|
jbe@0
|
237
|
|
jbe@91
|
238 ### socket:reset()
|
|
jbe@91
|
239
|
|
jbe@218
|
240 Alias for socket:close(). Closes the socket connection by sending a TCP RST
|
|
jbe@218
|
241 packet if possible to indicate error condition. This is the default operation
|
|
jbe@218
|
242 when a socket handle gets garbage collected or the process is terminated
|
|
jbe@218
|
243 abnormally.
|
|
jbe@91
|
244
|
|
jbe@114
|
245 Returns true on success, or nil (as first return value) plus error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
246 second return value) in case of an I/O error. Using this method on sockets that
|
|
jbe@91
|
247 have already been closed (or reset) will throw an error.
|
|
jbe@91
|
248
|
|
jbe@91
|
249 Warning: Previously sent (and flushed) data may be lost during transmission.
|
|

251
|
|
jbe@0
|
252 ### socket:write(...)
|
|
jbe@0
|
253
|
|
jbe@91
|
254 Takes a variable number of strings and sends them to the peer. The operation is
|
|
jbe@91
|
255 buffered, so to actually send out the data, it is necessary to eventually call
|
|
jbe@91
|
256 socket:flush(), socket:finish(), or socket:close().
|
|
jbe@91
|
257
|
|
jbe@91
|
258 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
259 second return value) are returned. On success, the socket userdata object is
|
|
jbe@91
|
260 returned.
|
|
jbe@91
|
261
|
|
jbe@91
|
262
|
|
jbe@145
|
263 ### socket:write_call(waitfunc, ...)
|
|
jbe@145
|
264
|
|
jbe@152
|
265 Same as socket:write(...), but calls waitfunc() (in an infinite loop) as long
|
|
jbe@152
|
266 as the writing is blocked.
|
|
jbe@145
|
267

|
jbe@91
|
269 ### socket:write_nb(...)
|
|
jbe@91
|
270
|
|
jbe@91
|
271 Takes a variable number of strings and sends them to the peer. The operation is
|
|
jbe@91
|
272 buffered, so to actually send out the data, it is necessary to eventually call
|
|
jbe@91
|
273 socket:flush_nb(), socket:flush(), socket:finish(), or socket:close().
|
|
jbe@91
|
274
|
|
jbe@91
|
275 This function always returns immediately (i.e. it does not block). If all data
|
|
jbe@91
|
276 (but a small buffered portion) could be sent out, then zero is returned.
|
|
jbe@91
|
277 Otherwise, all arguments that could not be sent are stored in a buffer of
|
|
jbe@91
|
278 unlimited size (up to memory capabilities) and an integer is returned that
|
|
jbe@91
|
279 indicates the number of bytes currently in the buffer.
|
|
jbe@91
|
280

291 I/O library
|
|
jbe@98
|
292 -----------
|
|
jbe@98
|
293
|
|
jbe@98
|
294 The Moonbridge Network Server for Lua Applications comes with its own I/O
|
|
jbe@98
|
295 library to support blocking as well as nonblocking I/O operations.
|
|
jbe@98
|
296
|
|
jbe@114
|
297 All methods on an I/O handle (e.g. socket) are described in the previous
|
|
jbe@114
|
298 section regarding the "socket" object. All other functions of the library are
|
|
jbe@114
|
299 listed below.
|
|
jbe@114
|
300
|
|
jbe@114
|
301
|
|
jbe@205
|
302 ### moonbridge_io.exec(command, arg1, arg2, ...)
|
|
jbe@205
|
303
|
|
jbe@205
|
304 Executes the given command and returns a handle with three sockets named
|
|
jbe@205
|
305 "stdin", "stdout", and "stderr" as well as the following methods:
|
|
jbe@205
|
306
|
|
jbe@205
|
307 - :kill(signal)
|
|
jbe@205
|
308 - :wait()
|
|
jbe@205
|
309 - :wait_nb()
|
|
jbe@205
|
310 - :wait_call(waitfunc)
|
|
jbe@205
|
311 - :wait_yield()
|
|
jbe@205
|
312
|
|
jbe@205
|
313 Use :kill(signal) to terminate the process with the given signal (defaults to
|
|
jbe@205
|
314 SIGTERM).
|
|
jbe@205
|
315
|
|
jbe@205
|
316 The :wait() method will wait for the process to terminate and return its exit
|
|
jbe@205
|
317 code. If the process was terminated by a signal, a negative integer is returned
|
|
jbe@205
|
318 which corresponds to the respective positive signal number.
|
|
jbe@205
|
319
|
|
jbe@205
|
320 The method :wait_nb() is the same as :wait(), except that it does not block but
|
|
jbe@205
|
321 returns nil if the child process has not terminated yet.
|
|
jbe@205
|
322
|
|
jbe@205
|
323 The method :wait_call() is the same as :wait() but calls waitfunc() (in an
|
|
jbe@205
|
324 infinite loop) as long as the process is still running.
|
|
jbe@205
|
325
|
|
jbe@205
|
326 The method :wait_yield() is an alias for :wait_call(coroutine.yield).

329 ### moonbridge_io.localconnect(path)
|
|
jbe@114
|
330
|
|
jbe@114
|
331 Tries to connect to a local socket (also known as Unix Domain Socket). Returns
|
|
jbe@114
|
332 a socket object on success, or nil (as first return value) plus an error
|
|
jbe@114
|
333 message (as second return value) in case of error.
|
|
jbe@114
|
334
|
|
jbe@114
|
335
|
|
jbe@114
|
336 ### moonbridge_io.localconnect_nb(path)
|
|
jbe@114
|
337
|
|
jbe@114
|
338 Tries to connect to a local socket (also known as Unix Domain Socket). Returns
|
|
jbe@114
|
339 a socket object on success, or nil (as first return value) plus an error
|
|
jbe@114
|
340 message (as second return value) in case of error.
|
|
jbe@114
|
341
|
|
jbe@114
|
342 Same as moonbridge_io.localconnect(path), except that this function does not
|
|
jbe@114
|
343 block and immediately returns a socket object.
|
|
jbe@114
|
344
|
|
jbe@114
|
345 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
346 second return value) may be returned. However, connection errors may also be
|
|
jbe@114
|
347 reported on first read or write on the socket.
|
|
jbe@114
|
348
|
|
jbe@114
|
349
|
|
jbe@114
|
350 ### moonbridge_io.locallisten(path)
|
|
jbe@114
|
351
|
|
jbe@114
|
352 Attempts to create a local socket (also known as Unix Domain Socket) to accept
|
|
jbe@118
|
353 incoming connections. If the file does already exist and is a socket, then it
|
|
jbe@118
|
354 is deleted automatically before being re-created.
|
|
jbe@114
|
355
|
|
jbe@114
|
356 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
357 second return value) may be returned.On success, a listener object is returned
|
|
jbe@114
|
358 which supports the methods :accept(), :accept_nb(), and :close().
|
|
jbe@114
|
359
|
|
jbe@114
|
360 The method :accept() blocks until a new incoming connection is available in
|
|
jbe@114
|
361 which case a socket object is returned.
|
|
jbe@114
|
362
|
|
jbe@114
|
363 The method :accept_nb() works like :accept(), except that the call is
|
|
jbe@114
|
364 nonblocking and returns false (plus a notice as second return value) in case no
|
|
jbe@114
|
365 incoming connection is available. It is possible to wait for an incoming
|
|
jbe@114
|
366 connection by including the listener object in the input_set of the
|
|
jbe@114
|
367 moonbridge_io.poll(...) call.
|
|
jbe@114
|
368
|
|
jbe@114
|
369 The method :close() will close the listening socket. In case of local sockets
|
|
jbe@114
|
370 (Unix Domain Sockets), the socket will not be unlinked in the file system.
|
|
jbe@114
|
371
|
|
jbe@114
|
372 I/O errors by the methods of the listener object are also reported by returning
|
|
jbe@114
|
373 nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as second return value).
|
|
jbe@114
|
374

|
jbe@98
|
375
|
|
jbe@106
|
376 ### moonbridge_io.poll(input_set, output_set, timeout)
|
|
jbe@106
|
377
|
|
jbe@106
|
378 This function waits for at least one of the given file descriptors and/or
|
|
jbe@106
|
379 I/O handles to be ready for input or output. The two sets of file descriptors
|
|
jbe@106
|
380 and/or handles must contain the file descriptor or handle as a key, and a value
|
|
jbe@106
|
381 which does evaluate to true. If a set is nil, it is treated as being empty.
|
|
jbe@106
|
382
|
|
jbe@106
|
383 Returns true when at least one file descriptor or handle is ready for reading
|
|
jbe@106
|
384 or writing respectively. Returns false (as first return value) plus a status
|
|
jbe@106
|
385 message (as second return value) in case of timeout or when a signal was
|
|
jbe@106
|
386 received.
|
|
jbe@106
|
387
|
|
jbe@106

|
389 ### moonbridge_io.tcpconnect(hostname, port)
|
|
jbe@98
|
390
|
|
jbe@98
|
391 Tries to open a TCP connection with the given host and TCP port number. Returns
|
|
jbe@114
|
392 a socket object on success, or nil (as first return value) plus an error
|
|
jbe@114
|
393 message (as second return value) in case of error.
|
|
jbe@98
|
394
|
|
jbe@98
|
395
|
|
jbe@99
|
396 ### moonbridge_io.tcpconnect_nb(hostname, port)
|
|
jbe@99
|
397
|
|
jbe@99
|
398 Same as moonbridge_io.tcpconnect(hostname, port), except that this function
|
|
jbe@99
|
399 does not block and immediately returns a socket object.
|
|
jbe@99
|
400
|
|
jbe@102
|
401 Note: The current implementation still blocks during the DNS lookup. Use a
|
|
jbe@102
|
402 numeric IP address as hostname to be truly nonblocking.
|
|
jbe@102
|
403
|
|
jbe@99
|
404 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
405 second return value) may be returned. However, connection errors may also be
|
|
jbe@99
|
406 reported on first read or write on the socket.
|
|
jbe@99
|
407
|
|
jbe@99
|
408
|
|
jbe@114
|
409 ### moonbridge_io.tcplisten(hostname, port)
|
|
jbe@114
|
410
|
|
jbe@114
|
411 Attempts to open a TCP port for listening. To listen on the loopback interface,
|
|
jbe@114
|
412 use "::1" as hostname if IPv6 shall be used, or use "127.0.0.1" as hostname if
|
|
jbe@114
|
413 IPv4 shall be used. To listen on all available interfaces, use "::" (IPv6) or
|
|
jbe@114
|
414 "0.0.0.0" (IPv4) respectively.
|
|
jbe@114
|
415
|
|
jbe@114
|
416 In case of an I/O error, nil (as first return value) plus an error message (as
|
|
jbe@114
|
417 second return value) may be returned. On success, a listener object is returned
|
|
jbe@114
|
418 which supports the methods :accept(), :accept_nb(), and :close(). See reference
|
|
jbe@114
|
419 for moonbridge.io_locallisten(...).

423 HTTP module
|
|
jbe@0
|
424 -----------
|
|
jbe@0
|
425
|
|
jbe@0
|
426 The http module exports the function http.generate_handler(callback) that
|
|
jbe@0
|
427 converts an HTTP handler to a "connect" handler. See file "example.lua" for an
|
|
jbe@0
|
428 example of invocation. A table with options may be passed either as a second
|
|
jbe@0
|
429 argument, or as a first argument preceeding the callback function (whichever is
|
|
jbe@0
|
430 more convenient).
|
|
jbe@0
|
431
|
|
jbe@0
|
432 The following options are supported:
|
|
jbe@0
|
433
|
|
jbe@0
|
434 - request_body_size_limit: maximum size of payload of HTTP request body
|
|
jbe@0
|
435 (transfer encoding is allowed to add a limited amount of extra data)
|
|
jbe@0
|
436 - chunk_size: optional default value for maximum_input_chunk_size and
|
|
jbe@0
|
437 minimum_output_chunk_size
|
|
jbe@0
|
438 - request_header_size_limit: maximum size of HTTP request headers
|
|
jbe@0
|
439 - maximum_input_chunk_size: maximum chunk size when streaming a request body or
|
|
jbe@0
|
440 certain POST fields (bigger chunks will be fragmented automatically)
|
|
jbe@0
|
441 - minimum_output_chunk_size: minimum size for a chunk when sending a response
|
|
jbe@0
|
442 body (smaller chunks will be buffered and concatenated with future data;
|
|
jbe@0
|
443 ignored when request:flush() is called)
|
|
jbe@0
|
444 - static_headers: a set of headers to be included in every HTTP response
|
|
jbe@0
|
445 (may be a string, a table or strings, or a table of key-value pairs)
|
|
jbe@0
|
446
|
|
jbe@0
|
447 The callback function receives a single request object as argument, which is
|
|
jbe@0
|
448 described below.
|
|
jbe@0
|
449
|
|
jbe@0
|
450
|
|
jbe@0
|
451 ### request.body
|
|
jbe@0
|
452
|
|
jbe@0
|
453 The request body (without headers) as a string. Accessing this value makes
|
|
jbe@0
|
454 further access to request.post_params and request.post_params_list, or
|
|
jbe@0
|
455 invocation of request:stream_request_body(...) impossible.
|
|
jbe@0

jbe@60
|
458 ### request:close_after_finish()
|
|
jbe@60
|
459
|
|
jbe@60
|
460 Closes the connection after answering the request.
|
|
jbe@60
|
461
|
|
jbe@60
|
462 This method can only be called before the HTTP response header section has been
|
|
jbe@60
|
463 finished (i.e. before request:finish_headers(), request:send_data(...), or
|
|
jbe@60
|
464 request:finish() were called), but it may be called before a status code has
|
|
jbe@60
|
465 been sent using request:send_status(...).
|
|
jbe@60
|
466
|
|
jbe@60
|
467 A corresponding "Connection: close" header is automatically sent.
|
|
jbe@60
|
468
|
|
jbe@184
|
469 See also request:monologue().

|
472 ### request:consume_input()
|
|
jbe@184
|
473
|
|
jbe@184
|
474 Starts processing the request body (if existent) to set the values
|
|
jbe@184
|
475 request.post_params, request.post_params_list, request.post_metadata, and
|
|
jbe@184
|
476 and request.post_metadata_list and/or to call POST field stream handlers that
|
|
jbe@184
|
477 have been previously registered with request:stream_post_param(...) or
|
|
jbe@184
|
478 request:stream_post_params(...), or to call a previously registered request
|
|
jbe@184
|
479 body stream handler that was set with request:set_request_body_streamer().
|
|
jbe@184
|
480
|
|
jbe@184
|
481 This method gets invoked automatically when the POST param tables
|
|
jbe@184
|
482 (request.post_params, etc.) are accessed or if request.body is accessed.
|
|
jbe@184

|
490 ### request.faulty
|
|
jbe@50
|
491
|
|
jbe@184
|
492 Normally set to false. In case of a write error on the client connection or
|
|
jbe@184
|
493 certain other unexpected errors, this value is set to true before a Lua error
|
|
jbe@184
|
494 is raised.
|
|
jbe@50
|
495
|
|
jbe@50
|
496 A faulty request handle must not be used, or another Lua error will be raised.
|
|
jbe@50

jbe@50
|
498
|
|
jbe@0
|
499 ### request:finish()
|
|
jbe@0
|
500
|
|
jbe@0
|
501 Finishes and flushes a HTTP response. May be called multiple times. An
|
|
jbe@0
|
502 HTTP status, all headers, and the response body (if applicable) must have been
|
|
jbe@0
|
503 previously sent. After calling this method, no further data may be written.
|
|
jbe@0
|
504
|
|
jbe@0

jbe@0
|
506 ### request:finish_headers()
|
|
jbe@0
|
507
|
|
jbe@0
|
508 Finishes and flushes the HTTP response header section. May be called multiple
|
|
jbe@0
|
509 times, as long as the request is not finished completely. This method is
|
|
jbe@0
|
510 automatically invoked if the application is beginning to send a response body.
|
|
jbe@0
|
511 After calling this method, no further headers may be sent.
|
|
jbe@0
|
512
|
|

|
|
jbe@0
|
514 ### request:flush()
|
|
jbe@0
|
515
|
|
jbe@0
|
516 Flushes any pending output data. Note: In order to mark the end of a response
|
|
jbe@0
|
517 body, it is required to call request:finish().

520 ### request.fresh
|
|
jbe@184
|
521
|
|
jbe@184
|
522 Set to false whenever the request object has been used (e.g. data has been read
|
|
jbe@184
|
523 or sent out, or a stream handler was installed); true otherwise.
|
|
jbe@184

526 ### request.get_params
|
|
jbe@0
|
527
|
|
jbe@0
|
528 A table that maps field names to their corresponding GET value. If there are
|
|
jbe@0
|
529 several GET values with the given field name, then the first value is used.
|
|
jbe@0
|
530
|
|
jbe@35
|
531 Note: May be implemented through metamethods, but does support iteration

543 ### request.headers
|
|
jbe@0
|
544
|
|
jbe@0
|
545 A table that maps (case-insensitively) a HTTP header field name to a sequence
|
|
jbe@0
|
546 of values. One entry is created for every occurrence of a header line with the
|
|
jbe@0
|
547 given field name).

|
566 A table that maps (case-insensitively) a HTTP header field name to another
|
|
jbe@0
|
567 table which (again case-insensitively) maps a string to a boolean, depending on
|
|
jbe@0

617
|
|
jbe@0
|
618 A table that maps field names to their corresponding POST value. If there are
|
|
jbe@0

619 several POST values with the given field name, then the first value is used.
|
|
jbe@0
|
620

|
636 "?a=b&c=d" if the requested target is "/index.html?a=b&c=d". The data is
|
|
jbe@10
|
637 automatically parsed and made available through request.get_params and
|
|
jbe@10
|
638 request.get_params_list.
|
|
jbe@10
|
639
|
|
jbe@10
|
640 If there is no query part given in the request target, then this string is
|
|
jbe@10
|
641 the empty string. This value will be nil if (and only if) the request method
|
|
jbe@10
|
642 is "OPTIONS" with a request target equal to "*" (see also asterisk-form of
|
|
jbe@10

|
|
jbe@0
|
649 concatenated. May be called multiple times until the request has been finished
|
|
jbe@0
|
650 by calling request:finish().
|
|
jbe@0
|
651
|
|
jbe@0
|
652 If the request method (see request.method) is "HEAD", then calls to
|

657
|
|
jbe@0
|
658 Sends a HTTP response header that consists of the given key and the given
|
|
jbe@0
|
659 value. Note: Key and value must be provided as separate arguments. Before any
|
|
jbe@0
|
660 headers can be sent, a HTTP status must have been set with
|
|
jbe@0
|
661 request:send_status(status_string).
|
|
jbe@0
|
662
|
|
jbe@0

|
jbe@0
|
664 ### request:send_status(status_string)
|
|
jbe@0
|
665
|
|
jbe@0
|
666 Sends a HTTP response status that is given as a string consisting of a 3-digit
|
|
jbe@0
|
667 number and an explanatory string, e.g. "200 OK" or "404 Not Found". This
|
|
jbe@0
|
668 function must be called once before any headers or response body data may be
|
|
jbe@0
|
669 sent.

677 ### request:stream_post_param(field_name, callback)
|
|
jbe@0
|
678
|
|
jbe@0
|
679 Registers a stream handler for the given POST parameter. The callback function
|
|
jbe@0
|
680 will be called in the following manner:
|
|
jbe@0
|
681
|
|
jbe@0
|
682 - For the initial chunk, the first chunk gets passed as first argument while a
|
|
jbe@0
|
683 table with metadata ("field_name" and "content_type") gets passed as second
|
|
jbe@0
|
684 argument. In case of an immediate EOF (i.e. an empty file), the passed
|
|
jbe@0
|
685 chunk is the empty string. In all other cases the chunk has a length greater
|
|
jbe@0
|
686 than zero.
|
|
jbe@0
|
687 - For any remaining chunks, the respective chunk gets passed as first and only
|
|
jbe@0
|
688 argument (no metadata). Here, the chunk has always a length greater than
|
|
jbe@0
|
689 zero.
|
|
jbe@0
|
690 - To indicate the end of the stream, the callback function is called without
|
|
jbe@0
|
691 arguments. This also happens in case of an immediate EOF (see above).
|
|
jbe@0
|
692
|
|
jbe@0
|
693 In case of an immediate EOF (i.e. an empty file), the callback function is thus
|
|
jbe@0
|
694 called as follows:
|
|
jbe@0
|
695
|
|
jbe@0
|
696 - The first time with an empty string as first argument, and with the metadata
|
|
jbe@0
|
697 as second argument.
|
|
jbe@0
|
698 - The second time without any arguments.
|
|
jbe@0
|
699
|
|
jbe@184
|
700 Note that request:consume_input() needs to be called to enforce streaming to
|
|
jbe@184
|
701 finish.
|
|
jbe@184
|
702
|
|
jbe@0
|

jbe@0
|
704 ### request:stream_post_params(pattern, callback)
|
|
jbe@0
|
705
|
|
jbe@0
|
706 Same as request:stream_post_param(...) but providing a string pattern to match
|
|
jbe@0
|
707 multiple field names (e.g. "^file_[0-9]+$").
|
|
jbe@0
|
708
|
|
jbe@0
|
709
|
|
jbe@0
|
710 ### request:stream_request_body(callback)
|
|
jbe@0
|
711
|
|
jbe@184
|
712 Registeres a stream handler for the whole request body. For each chunk of the
|
|
jbe@184
|
713 request body, the callback function is called with the corresponding chunk. End
|
|
jbe@184
|
714 of data is indicated by passing a nil value to the callback functuion.
|
|
jbe@0
|
715
|
|
jbe@184
|
716 Note that request:consume_input() needs to be called to enforce streaming to
|
|
jbe@184
|
717 finish.
|
|
jbe@0
|
718
|
|
jbe@44
|
719
|
|
jbe@184
|
720 ### request:stream_request_body_now(callback)
|
|
jbe@184
|
721
|
|
jbe@184
|
722 Start streaming of request body immediately. On EOF the function returns and
|
|
jbe@184
|
723 the callback function is *not* called with nil as argument.
|
|
jbe@184
|
724
|
|
jbe@184
|
725 Note that request:consume_input() needs to be called to enforce streaming to
|
|
jbe@184
|
726 finish.
