== Description == Description
The `cowboy_req` module provides functions to access, manipulate The module `cowboy_req` provides functions to access, manipulate
and respond to requests. and respond to requests.
The functions in this module follow patterns for their return types, There are four types of functions in this module. They can be
based on the kind of function. differentiated by their name and their return type:
* access: `Value` [options="header"]
* action: `ok | {Result, Req} | {Result, Value, Req}` |===
* modification: `Req` | Type | Name pattern | Return type
* question: `boolean()` | access | no verb, parse_*, match_* | `Value`
| question | has_* | `boolean()`
| modification | set_* | `Req`
| action | any other verb | `ok \| {Result, Value, Req}`
|===
Whenever `Req` is returned, you must use this returned value and Any `Req` returned must be used in place of the one passed as
ignore any previous you may have had. This value contains various argument. Functions that perform an action in particular write
values which are necessary for Cowboy to keep track of the request state in the Req object to make sure you are using the function
and response states. correctly. For example, it's only possible to send one response,
and to read the body once.
All functions which perform an action should only be called once. == Exports
This includes reading the request body or replying. Cowboy will
throw an error on the second call when it detects suspicious behavior.
It is highly discouraged to pass the Req object to another process. Raw request:
Doing so and calling `cowboy_req` functions from it leads to
undefined behavior. * link:man:cowboy_req:method(3)[cowboy_req:method(3)] - HTTP method

=== header(Name, Req, Default) -> Value link:man:cowboy(7)[cowboy(7)]
Name = binary():: Request header name.
Default = any():: Default value.
Value = binary() | Default:: Request header value.
Return the value for the given header.
While header names are case insensitive, this function expects
the name to be a lowercase binary.
=== headers(Req) -> Headers
Headers = cowboy:http_headers():: Request headers.
Return all headers.
=== host(Req) -> Host
Host = binary():: Requested host.
Return the requested host.
=== host_info(Req) -> HostInfo
HostInfo = cowboy_router:tokens() | undefined:: Extra tokens for the host.
Return the extra tokens from matching against `...` during routing.
=== host_url(Req) -> HostURL
HostURL = binary() | undefined:: Requested URL, without the path component.
Return the requested URL excluding the path component.
This function will always return `undefined` until the
`cowboy_router` middleware has been executed.
=== match_cookies(Fields, Req) -> Map
Fields = cowboy:fields():: Cookie fields match rules.
Map = map():: Cookie fields matched.
Match cookies against the given fields.
Cowboy will only return the cookie values specified in the
fields list, and ignore all others. Fields can be either
the name of the cookie requested; the name along with a
list of constraints; or the name, a list of constraints
and a default value in case the cookie is missing.
This function will crash if the cookie is missing and no
default value is provided. This function will also crash
if a constraint fails.
The name of the cookie must be provided as an atom. The
key of the returned map will be that atom. The value may
be converted through the use of constraints, making this
function able to extract, validate and convert values all
in one step.
=== match_qs(Fields, Req) -> Map
Fields = cowboy:fields():: Query string fields match rules.
Map = map():: Query string fields matched.
Match the query string against the given fields.
Cowboy will only return the query string values specified
in the fields list, and ignore all others. Fields can be
either the key requested; the key along with a list of
constraints; or the key, a list of constraints and a
default value in case the key is missing.
This function will crash if the key is missing and no
default value is provided. This function will also crash
if a constraint fails.
The key must be provided as an atom. The key of the
returned map will be that atom. The value may be converted
through the use of constraints, making this function able
to extract, validate and convert values all in one step.
=== meta(Name, Req) -> meta(Name, Req, undefined)
Alias for `cowboy_req:meta/3`.
=== meta(Name, Req, Default) -> Value
Name = atom():: Metadata name.
Default = any():: Default value.
Value = any():: Metadata value.
Return metadata about the request.
=== method(Req) -> Method
Method = binary():: Request method.
Return the method.
Methods are case sensitive. Standard methods are always uppercase.
=== parse_cookies(Req) -> [{Name, Value}]
Name = binary():: Cookie name.
Value = binary():: Cookie value.
Parse and return all cookies.
Cookie names are case sensitive.
=== parse_header(Name, Req) -> see below
Alias of `cowboy_req:parse_header/3`.
The `parse_header/2` function will call `parser_header/3` with a
different default value depending on the header being parsed. The
following table summarizes the default values used.
[cols="<,^",options="header"]
|===
| Header name | Header value
| content-length | `0`
| cookie | `[]`
| transfer-encoding | `[<<"identity">>]`
| Any other header | `undefined`
|===
=== parse_header(Name, Req, Default) -> ParsedValue | Default
Name = binary():: Request header name.
Default = any():: Default value.
ParsedValue - see below:: Parsed request header value.
Parse the given header.
While header names are case insensitive, this function expects
the name to be a lowercase binary.
The parsed value differs depending on the header being parsed. The
following table summarizes the different types returned.
[cols="<,^",options="header"]
|===
| Header name | Type of parsed header value
| accept | `[{{Type, SubType, Params}, Quality, AcceptExt}]`
| accept-charset | `[{Charset, Quality}]`
| accept-encoding | `[{Encoding, Quality}]`
| accept-language | `[{LanguageTag, Quality}]`
| authorization | `{AuthType, Credentials}`
| content-length | `non_neg_integer()`
| content-type | `{Type, SubType, ContentTypeParams}`
| cookie | `[{binary(), binary()}]`
| expect | `[Expect \| {Expect, ExpectValue, Params}]`
| if-match | `'*' \| [{weak \| strong, OpaqueTag}]`
| if-modified-since | `calendar:datetime()`
| if-none-match | `'*' \| [{weak \| strong, OpaqueTag}]`
| if-unmodified-since | `calendar:datetime()`
| range | `{Unit, [Range]}`
| sec-websocket-protocol | `[binary()]`
| transfer-encoding | `[binary()]`
| upgrade | `[binary()]`
| x-forwarded-for | `[binary()]`
|===
Types for the above table:
* Type = SubType = Charset = Encoding = LanguageTag = binary()
* AuthType = Expect = OpaqueTag = Unit = binary()
* Params = ContentTypeParams = [{binary(), binary()}]
* Quality = 0..1000
* AcceptExt = [{binary(), binary()} | binary()]
* Credentials - see below
* Range = {non_neg_integer(), non_neg_integer() | infinity} | neg_integer()
The cookie names and values, the values of the sec-websocket-protocol
and x-forwarded-for headers, the values in `AcceptExt` and `Params`,
the authorization `Credentials`, the `ExpectValue` and `OpaqueTag`
are case sensitive. All values in `ContentTypeParams` are case sensitive
except the value of the charset parameter, which is case insensitive.
All other values are case insensitive and will be returned as lowercase.
The headers accept, accept-encoding and cookie headers can return
an empty list. Some other headers are expected to have a value if provided
and may crash if the value is missing.
The authorization header parsing code currently only supports basic
HTTP authentication. The `Credentials` type is thus `{Username, Password}`
with `Username` and `Password` being `binary()`.
The range header value `Range` can take three forms:
* `{From, To}`: from `From` to `To` units
* `{From, infinity}`: everything after `From` units
* `-Final`: the final `Final` units
An `undefined` tuple will be returned if Cowboy doesn't know how
to parse the requested header.
=== parse_qs(Req) -> [{Name, Value}]
Name = binary():: Query string field name.
Value = binary() | true:: Query string field value.
Return the request's query string as a list of tuples.
The atom `true` is returned for keys which have no value.
Keys with no value are different from keys with an empty
value in that they do not have a `=` indicating the presence
of a value.
=== path(Req) -> Path
Path = binary():: Requested path.
Return the requested path.
=== path_info(Req) -> PathInfo
PathInfo = cowboy_router:tokens() | undefined:: Extra tokens for the path.
Return the extra tokens from matching against `...` during routing.
=== peer(Req) -> Peer
Peer = `{inet:ip_address(), inet:port_number()}`:: Peer IP address and port number.
Return the client's IP address and port number.
=== port(Req) -> Port
Port = inet:port_number():: Requested port number.
Return the request's port.
The port returned by this function is obtained by parsing
the host header. It may be different than the actual port
the client used to connect to the Cowboy server.
=== qs(Req) -> QueryString
QueryString = binary():: Unprocessed query string.
Return the request's query string.
=== set_meta(Name, Value, Req) -> Req2
Name = atom():: Metadata name.
Value = any():: Metadata value.
Set metadata about the request.
An existing value will be overwritten.
=== url(Req) -> URL
URL = binary() | undefined:: Requested URL.
Return the requested URL.
This function will always return `undefined` until the
`cowboy_router` middleware has been executed.
=== version(Req) -> Version
Version = cowboy:http_version():: Client's advertised HTTP version.
Return the HTTP version used for this request.
== Request body related exports
=== body(Req) -> body(Req, [])
Alias of `cowboy_req:body/2`.
=== body(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Data, Req2} | {more, Data, Req2}
Opts = [body_opt()]:: Request body reading options.
Data = binary():: Data read from the body.
Read the request body.
This function will read a chunk of the request body. If there is
more data to be read after this function call, then a `more` tuple
is returned. Otherwise an `ok` tuple is returned.
Cowboy will automatically send a `100 Continue` reply if
required. If this behavior is not desirable, it can be disabled
by setting the `continue` option to `false`.
Cowboy will by default attempt to read up to 8MB of the body,
but in chunks of 1MB. It will use a timeout of 15s per chunk.
All these values can be changed using the `length`, `read_length`
and `read_timeout` options respectively. Note that the size
of the data may not be the same as requested as the decoding
functions may grow or shrink it, and Cowboy makes not attempt
at returning an exact amount.
Cowboy will properly handle chunked transfer-encoding by
default. If any other transfer-encoding or content-encoding
has been used for the request, custom decoding functions
can be used. The `content_decode` and `transfer_decode`
options allow setting the decode functions manually.
After the body has been streamed fully, Cowboy will remove
the transfer-encoding header from the Req object, and add
the content-length header if it wasn't already there.
This function can only be called once. Cowboy will not cache
the result of this call.
=== body_length(Req) -> Length
Length = non_neg_integer() | undefined:: Length of the request body.
Return the length of the request body.
The length will only be returned if the request does not
use any transfer-encoding and if the content-length header
is present.
=== body_qs(Req) -> body_qs(Req, [{length, 64000}, {read_length, 64000}, {read_timeout, 5000}])
Alias of `cowboy_req:body_qs/2`.
=== body_qs(Req, Opts) -> {ok, [{Name, Value}], Req2} | {badlength, Req2}
Opts = [body_opt()]:: Request body reading options.
Name = binary():: Field name.
Value = binary() | true:: Field value.
Return the request body as a list of tuples.
This function will parse the body assuming the content-type
application/x-www-form-urlencoded, commonly used for the
query string.
This function calls `body/2` for reading the body, with the
same options it received. By default it will attempt to read
a body of 64KB in one chunk, with a timeout of 5s. If the
body is larger then a `badlength` tuple is returned.
This function can only be called once. Cowboy will not cache
the result of this call.
=== has_body(Req) -> boolean()
Return whether the request has a body.
=== part(Req) -> part(Req, [{length, 64000}, {read_length, 64000}, {read_timeout, 5000}])
Alias of `cowboy_req:part/2`.
=== part(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Headers, Req2} | {done, Req2}
Opts = [body_opt()]:: Request body reading options.
Headers = cow_multipart:headers():: Part's headers.
Read the headers for the next part of the multipart message.
Cowboy will skip any data remaining until the beginning of
the next part. This includes the preamble to the multipart
message but also the body of a previous part if it hasn't
been read. Both are skipped automatically when calling this
function.
The headers returned are MIME headers, NOT HTTP headers.
They can be parsed using the functions from the `cow_multipart`
module. In addition, the `cow_multipart:form_data/1` function
can be used to quickly figure out `multipart/form-data` messages.
It takes the list of headers and returns whether this part is
a simple form field or a file being uploaded.
Note that once a part has been read, or skipped, it cannot
be read again.
This function calls `body/2` for reading the body, with the
same options it received. By default it will only read chunks
of 64KB with a timeout of 5s. This is tailored for reading
part headers, not for skipping the previous part's body.
You might want to consider skipping large parts manually.
=== part_body(Req) -> part_body(Req, [])
Alias of `cowboy_req:part_body/2`.
=== part_body(Req, Opts) -> {ok, Data, Req2} | {more, Data, Req2}
Opts = [body_opt()]:: Request body reading options.
Data = binary():: Part's body.
Read the body of the current part of the multipart message.
This function calls `body/2` for reading the body, with the
same options it received. It uses the same defaults.
If there are more data to be read from the socket for this
part, the function will return what it could read inside a
`more` tuple. Otherwise, it will return an `ok` tuple.
Calling this function again after receiving a `more` tuple
will return another chunk of body. The last chunk will be
returned inside an `ok` tuple.
Note that once the body has been read, fully or partially,
it cannot be read again.
== Response related exports
=== chunk(Data, Req) -> ok
Data = iodata():: Chunk data to be sent.
Send a chunk of data.
This function should be called as many times as needed
to send data chunks after calling `chunked_reply/{2,3}`.
When the method is HEAD, no data will actually be sent.
If the request uses HTTP/1.0, the data is sent directly
without wrapping it in an HTTP/1.1 chunk, providing
compatibility with older clients.
=== chunked_reply(StatusCode, Req) -> chunked_reply(StatusCode, [], Req)
Alias of `cowboy_req:chunked_reply/3`.
=== chunked_reply(StatusCode, Headers, Req) -> Req2
StatusCode = cowboy:http_status():: Response status code.
Headers = cowboy:http_headers():: Response headers.
Send a response using chunked transfer-encoding.
This function effectively sends the response status line
and headers to the client.
This function will not send any body set previously. After
this call the handler must use the `chunk/2` function
repeatedly to send the body in as many chunks as needed.
If the request uses HTTP/1.0, the data is sent directly
without wrapping it in an HTTP/1.1 chunk, providing
compatibility with older clients.
This function can only be called once, with the exception
of overriding the response in the `onresponse` hook.
=== continue(Req) -> ok
Send a 100 Continue intermediate reply.
This reply is required before the client starts sending the
body when the request contains the `expect` header with the
`100-continue` value.
Cowboy will send this automatically when required. However
you may want to do it manually by disabling this behavior
with the `continue` body option and then calling this
function.
=== delete_resp_header(Name, Req) -> Req2
Name = binary():: Response header name.
Delete the given response header.
While header names are case insensitive, this function expects
the name to be a lowercase binary.
=== has_resp_body(Req) -> boolean()
Return whether a response body has been set.
This function will return false if a response body has
been set with a length of 0.
=== has_resp_header(Name, Req) -> boolean()
Name = binary():: Response header name.
Return whether the given response header has been set.
While header names are case insensitive, this function expects
the name to be a lowercase binary.
=== reply(StatusCode, Req) -> reply(StatusCode, [], Req)
Alias of `cowboy_req:reply/3`.
=== reply(StatusCode, Headers, Req) - see below
Alias of `cowboy_req:reply/4`, with caveats.
=== reply(StatusCode, Headers, Body, Req) -> Req2
StatusCode = cowboy:http_status():: Response status code.
Headers = cowboy:http_headers():: Response headers.
Body = iodata():: Response body.
Send a response.
This function effectively sends the response status line,
headers and body to the client, in a single send function
call.
The `reply/2` and `reply/3` functions will send the body
set previously, if any. The `reply/4` function overrides
any body set previously and sends `Body` instead.
If a body function was set, and `reply/2` or `reply/3` was
used, it will be called before returning.
No more data can be sent to the client after this function
returns.
This function can only be called once, with the exception
of overriding the response in the `onresponse` hook.
=== set_resp_body(Body, Req) -> Req2
Body = iodata():: Response body.
Set a response body.
This body will not be sent if `chunked_reply/{2,3}` or
`reply/4` is used, as they override it.
=== set_resp_body_fun(Fun, Req) -> Req2
Alias of `cowboy_req:set_resp_body_fun/3`.
=== set_resp_body_fun(Length, Fun, Req) -> Req2
Fun = fun((Socket, Transport) -> ok):: Fun that will send the response body.
Socket = inet:socket():: Socket for this connection.
Transport = module():: Transport module for this socket.
Length = non_neg_integer():: Length of the response body.
Set a fun for sending the response body.
If a `Length` is provided, it will be sent in the
content-length header in the response. It is recommended
to set the length if it can be known in advance. Otherwise,
the transfer-encoding header will be set to identity.
This function will only be called if the response is sent
using the `reply/2` or `reply/3` function.
The fun will receive the Ranch `Socket` and `Transport` as
arguments. Only send and sendfile operations are supported.
=== set_resp_body_fun(chunked, Fun, Req) -> Req2
Fun = fun((ChunkFun) -> ok):: Fun that will send the response body.
ChunkFun = fun((iodata()) -> ok):: Fun to call for every chunk to be sent.
Set a fun for sending the response body using chunked transfer-encoding.
This function will only be called if the response is sent
using the `reply/2` or `reply/3` function.
The fun will receive another fun as argument. This fun is to
be used to send chunks in a similar way to the `chunk/2` function,
except the fun only takes one argument, the data to be sent in
the chunk.
=== set_resp_cookie(Name, Value, Opts, Req) -> Req2
Name = iodata():: Cookie name.
Value = iodata():: Cookie value.
Opts = cookie_opts():: Cookie options.
Set a cookie in the response.
Cookie names are case sensitive.
=== set_resp_header(Name, Value, Req) -> Req2
Name = binary():: Response header name.
Value = iodata():: Response header value.
Set a response header.
You should use `set_resp_cookie/4` instead of this function
to set cookies.

----
header(Name :: binary(), Req) -> header(Name, Req, undefined)
header(Name :: binary(), Req, Default) -> binary() | Default
Req :: cowboy_req:req()
----
Return the value for the given HTTP header.
The header name must be given as a lowercase binary string.
While header names are case insensitive, Cowboy requires them
to be given as lowercase to function properly.
Headers can also be obtained using pattern matching:
[source,erlang]
----
#{headers := #{Name := Value}} = Req.
----
Note that this snippet will crash if the header is missing.
== Arguments
Name::
Desired HTTP header name as a binary string.
Req::
The Req object.
Default::
Default value returned when the header is missing.
== Return value
The header value is returned as a binary string. When the
header is missing, the default argument is returned.
== Changelog
* *2.0*: Only the header value is returned, it is no longer wrapped in a tuple.
* *1.0*: Function introduced.

The peer is not necessarily the client's IP address and port.
It is the IP address of the endpoint connecting directly to
the server, which may be a gateway or a proxy.
The forwarded header can be used to get better information
about the different endpoints from the client to the server.

port => inet:port_number() | undefined,
path => iodata() | undefined,

fragment => iodata() | undefined
}
----
Reconstruct the effective request URI, optionally modifying components.
By default Cowboy will build a URI using the components found
in the request. Options allow disabling or replacing individual
components.
== Arguments
Req::
The Req object.
Opts::
Map for overriding individual components.
+
To replace a component, provide its new value as a binary
string or an iolist. To disable a component, set its value
to `undefined`.
+
As this function always returns a valid URI, there are some
things to note:
+
* Disabling the host also disables the scheme and port.
* There is no fragment component by default as these are
not sent with the request.
* The port number may not appear in the resulting URI if
it is the default port for the given scheme (http: 80; https: 443).
== Return value
The reconstructed URI is returned as an iolist or a binary string.
== Changelog
* *2.0*: Individual components can be replaced or disabled.
* *2.0*: Only the URI is returned, it is no longer wrapped in a tuple.
* *2.0*: Function introduced. Replaces `host_url/1` and `url/1`.
== Examples

we can have:
.Protocol relative form
