INTERFACE HTTPApp;

This interface provides a general structure for HTTP applications. The client writes the handlers for arguments, logging, request, and replies while the library handles the basic HTTP processing.

     connection fails, the next proxy server is tried.

         "hostPattern" is a simple pattern including '?' to match
         any one character and '*' to match any sequence of 0 or more
         characters

PROCEDURE Serve (port, serviceValue: INTEGER;
                 log               : App.Log   := NIL;
                 serverData        : REFANY    := NIL  )
  RAISES {App.Error};

Listen sits in a loop waiting for HTTP requests on port. Messages written to log should be presented to the user of the application (as desired).

serverData is passed to the accept and request methods of the RequestHandlers when requests are made. Any request handler that matches the port or the serviceValue may be called.

If log = NIL then the log handler will write to stdout and to the wr of the request

PROCEDURE ServerPort(port, service: INTEGER): BOOLEAN;

Return TRUE if there has been a call on Serve for port and service

PROCEDURE Client(request: HTTP.Request;
                 proxy: Proxy;
                 style: HTTP.Style;
                 rd: Rd.T;
                 wr: Wr.T;
                 handler: ReplyHandler;
                 service: INTEGER;
                 log: App.Log := NIL) RAISES {App.Error};

Make a client request or proxy a client request. The request is made directly if there is no proxy given or the proxy rule matching the URL specifies DIRECT.

If style is NIL, then DefaultStyle() is used.

Program information (user-agent, or via) header is added automatically to the request.

Host: header is added automatically to the request

If rd is not NIL, read from rd and send it with the request.

After request is sent to the server, the header of the reply is parsed and handler.reply is called with wr for its output.

service is the number of the service associated with a Serve call. It is used to determine if the request is to a port associated with the current service or another. If you didn't make a Serve call then use AnyService.

If log = NIL then log := App.defaultLog

CONST
  AnyPort = 0;
  AnyService = 0;

PROCEDURE RegisterRequestHandler(port: INTEGER; handler: RequestHandler);

Adds handler to the handlers known to the server. When the server gets a request, it invokes the handlers until one services the request. The handler will only get called if port matches the server's port or port = AnyPort or if port < 0 then port represents a service type, and the request handler is invoked if port matches the server's service type. (Make sure the services have different values, :-)

NOTE: a given request handler can only listen on a single port

CONST
  ServerPushBoundaryString = "ServerPushBoundary\n";
  ServerPushBoundaryStringStart = "--ServerPushBoundary\n";
  ServerPushBoundaryStringEnd = "--ServerPushBoundary--\n";

PROCEDURE ServerPushSupported(request: HTTP.Request): BOOLEAN;

PROCEDURE ServerPushFrame(wr: Wr.T; contentType: TEXT := "text/html";
                          msg: TEXT; log: App.Log) RAISES {App.Error};

PROCEDURE DefaultProxy(log: App.Log := NIL): Proxy RAISES {App.Error};

returns the proxy defined by the user arguments given (must be called AFTER App.InitializeArguments):

switch env config default -pac HTTP_PAC pac: *: DIRECT

If log = NIL then DefaultLog will be used.

END HTTPApp.
