In case that a sub-server doesn't support the content-type specified
in the request invoke `delayedFail` instead of `delayedFailFatal` in
order to give the chance to other sub-servers to handle the request.
Changes Header, ReqBody and QueryParam to take a modifier list.
Resolves https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/856
ResponseHeader story turns to be somewhat ugly, but it can be made
elegant when https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/841 is
implemnted, then we can omit HList aka Header Heterogenous List
implementation.
- servant-server changes:
Writing server side intepretations is quite simple using
`unfoldRequestArgument`, which makes Header and QueryParam look quite
the same.
`ReqBody` cannot be easily made optional with current design (what that
would mean: No Content-Type Header?), so that dimensions isn't used
there.
- Add HasLink for all the rest ComprehensiveAPI combinators
- Add 'tricky' Header', QueryParam' endpoints to ComprehensiveAPI
- servant-docs: Quick'n'dirty implementation. Don't use modifiers information (yet).
For uniformity of Enter.
Previously, `ServerT Raw m ~ Application`. Seems reasonable, but has the
unfortunate consequence of making `Enter` useless for `Raw` routes.
With this change `Tagged m Application` is retagged by `Enter`.
Instead of only exposing 'serveDirectory', which picks a specific static file
serving strategy (file server settings), we now expose 4 different variants each
corresponding to an variant of StaticSettings in wai-app-static.
In addition to these, we expose a more flexible 'serveDirectoryWith' function
which allows the user to specify some arbitrary StaticSettings, if the 4
existing variants do not cover a user's needs.
We use NoContent to signify an empty response nowadays. This commit
replaces all occurences of () with NoContent so that all packages use
the new semantics.
This is a reasonably simple attempt at fixing #460.
By moving the accept check to a place before the body check,
we can make it recoverable (the body check is irreversible,
so everything done after the body check has to fail fatally).
The advantage is that we can now specify routes offering
different content types modularly. Failure to match one
is not fatal, and will result in subsequent routes being
tried.
The disadvantage is that we hereby bump the error priority
of the 406 status code. If a request contains a bad accept
header and a bad body, we now get 406 rather than 400. This
deviates from the HTTP decision diagram we try to follow,
but seems like an acceptable compromise for now.
We've previously used functions in the Router type to provide
information for subrouters. But this accesses the Requests too
early, and breaks sharing of the router structure in general,
causing the Router or large parts of the Router to be recomputed
on every request.
We now do not use functions anymore, and properly compute all
static parts of the router first, and gain access to the request
only in Delayed.
This also turns the code used within Delayed into a proper monad
now called DelayedIO, making some of the code using it a bit
nicer.
* Improves how Routers are built, in particular via
the `choice` smart constructors. Static lookups are
now used more often.
* We now have test cases making sure that certain
routers have the same structure.
* The router structure can now be visualized for debugging
purposes as a tree. The new functions `layout` and
`layoutWithContext` do this.
