Module Http_async.ServiceSource

Service is the core abstraction that represents an HTTP server within http_async.

Sourcetype request
Sourceval sexp_of_request : request -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
Sourcetype response
Sourceval sexp_of_response : response -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
Sourcetype t = request -> response Async.Deferred.t

t is a function that takes a HTTP request and returns a deferred HTTP response.

Sourceval resource : request -> string

resource returns the path and query for a given request.

Sourceval meth : request -> Meth.t

meth returns the HTTP verb for a given request.

Sourceval body : request -> string Async.Pipe.Reader.t

body returns the HTTP request body for a given request.

Sourceval header : request -> string -> string option

header request key returns the last header value associates with key if one exists.

Sourceval header_multi : request -> string -> string list

header_multi request key returns a list of all header values associated with key.

Sourceval respond_string : ?headers:(string * string) list -> ?status:Status.t -> string -> response Async.Deferred.t

respond_string creates a new fixed length encoded response from the user provided string. If the user provided headers don't contain a Content-Length header, one is added with the value set to the string's length.

Sourceval respond_bigstring : ?headers:(string * string) list -> ?status:Status.t -> Core.Bigstring.t -> response Async.Deferred.t

respond_bigstring creates a new fixed length encoded response from the user provided Bigstring.t. If the user provided headers don't contain a Content-Length header, one is added with the value set to the bigstring's length.

Sourceval respond_stream : ?headers:(string * string) list -> ?status:Status.t -> string Async.Pipe.Reader.t -> response Async.Deferred.t

respond_stream creates a new streaming response. The data is chunk-encoded before its sent over the wire.
