Certain user agents send invalid Accept-Charset headers, like the
following: "ISO-8859-1;utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7"
The user agent with which this behavior was observed presented itself
with the User-Agent string: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;
en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0" Although this doesn't
appear to be correct. The request might have been mangled by a
transparent proxy.
Introduces 3 low level functions and updates the existing higher
levels functions. The new primitives are has_body/1, body_length/1
and stream_body/1. In addition to that, a helper function
init_stream/4 has been added.
Streaming a body implies to decode the Transfer-Encoding and
Content-Encoding used for the body. By default, Cowboy will try
to figure out what was used and decode them properly. You can
override this if you want to disable this behavior or simply
support more encodings by calling the init_stream/4 function
before you start streaming the body.
This new protocol option is a fun.
It expects a single arg, the Req, and should only return a possibly
modified Req. This can be used for many things like URL rewriting,
access logging or listener-wide authentication.
If a reply is sent inside the hook, then Cowboy will consider the
request handled and will move on to the next one.
Certain user agents send slightly invalid media types, like the
following: "text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, ; q=.2, */; q=.2"
The user agent with which this behavior was observed presented itself
with the User-Agent string: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X
10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (FlipboardProxy/0.0.5;
+http://flipboard.com/browserproxy)"
The return value from the generate_etag/2 callback is expected to be a
binary tagged with either weak or strong. This binary is quoted, and
may be prefixed with W/ before it is set as the value of the ETag header
in the response.
For backwards compatibility with older handlers where the return value
was expected to be a quoted binary a function has been added to parse any
return values that are untagged binaries. All untagged binaries are expected
to be a valid value for the ETag header.
When missing rebar couldn't build docs because it expects the ebin/
folder to exist before it runs edoc. This commit allows users to
build docs without first having to run make.
At the same time renaming cowboy_http:content_type_params/3 to
cowboy_http:params/2 (with a default Acc of []) as this code isn't
useful only for content types.
If requests go through a proxy, they will have the original uri in the
request, i.e. : GET http://proxy.server.uri/some/query/string HTTP 1.1 ...
That was problematic -- cowboy_http_protocol:request didn't know what to
to with the result of decode_packet applied to this, which would be something
like:
``` erlang
{http_request,'GET',{absoluteURI,http,<<"proxy.server.uri">>,
undefined,<<"/some/query/string">>},{1,1}}
```
So, I just ignore the host, grab the path and pass into
``` erlang
cowboy_http_protocol:request({http_request, Method, {abs_path, Path},
Version}, State)
```
Seems to do the trick without much effort.
Initially recommended by Magnus Klaar, the trick is to add a catch
instruction before the erlang:hibernate/3 call so that Dialyzer
thinks it will return, followed by the expected return value
('ok' for HTTP, 'closed' for websockets).
This should be good enough until a real solution is found.
We've been having many recurring issues, some which were fixed,
only to have other things broken again. Can't rely on a service
that breaks all the time.
