This allows responses to be sent to the client even when data is only
partially read, significantly improving the experience for the client
from one with a "connection closed" error to one with a proper response.
The consequence is a lifetime in 'Data'.
Though other non-lifetime-introducing solutions exist, the introduction
of a lifetime to 'Data' is a longstanding desire as it prevents
smuggling 'Data' into a longer-lived context. Use of 'Data' in that
context was unspecified with various runtime consequences. The addition
of a lifetime bound by the request prevents this error statically.
In summary, the changes are:
* Clients receive responses even when data isn't fully read.
* 'Data' becomes 'Data<'r>'. 'FromData' changes accordingly.
* Route 'Outcome's are strictly tied to the request lifetime.
Tangentially, the invalid length form field validation error message has
improved to format length in byte units if it exceeds 1024.
If stars aligned properly, we might imagine writing this:
#[non_exhaustive]
struct Config {
pub field: Foo,
pub other: Bar,
}
...with semantics that would allow the defining crate (here, Rocket), to
construct the structure directly while consumers would need to use
public constructors or struct update syntax:
Config {
field: Foo,
other: Bar,
..Default::default()
}
Alas, this is not the way `non_exhaustive` works on structs. You cannot
use field-update syntax to construct `Config` above. You must use public
constructors. This means builder methods or mutating an already built
struct. This is not what we want.
I don't know why it works this way. I don't see why it must. Something
something Drop.
So we have this hack from the pre-non_exhaustive era.
This resolves syntax ambiguity issues with public typed-stream macros.
Prior to this commit, greedy single-token matching by macro-rules macros
would result in certain tokens at the beginning of the macro input, such
as 'for', inadvertently triggering a '$ty' matching case resulting in
incorrect expansion.
This commit makes the following improvements to core request handling:
* Absolute target URIs are not rejected. Instead, the path and query
parts are passed through the application. This resolves an issue
where certain HTTP/2 requests would be rejected by Rocket.
* Data is never copied from the request. Previously, Rocket would copy
and allocate for incoming headers.
* Non-UTF-8 headers are dropped with a warning instead of being
lossily, and thus perhaps incorrectly, decoded as UTF-8. The final
fix is to properly support non-UTF-8 headers, no matter how in the
minority they are.
Resolves#1498.
This follows the completed graduation of stable contrib features into
core, removing 'rocket_contrib' in its entirety in favor of two new
crates. These crates are versioned independently of Rocket's core
libraries, allowing upgrades to dependencies without consideration for
versions in core libraries.
'rocket_dyn_templates' replaces the contrib 'templates' features. While
largely a 1-to-1 copy, it makes the following changes:
* the 'tera_templates' feature is now 'tera'
* the 'handlebars_templates' feature is now 'handlebars'
* fails to compile if neither 'tera' nor 'handlebars' is enabled
'rocket_sync_db_pools' replaces the contrib 'database' features. It
makes no changes to the replaced features except that the `database`
attribute is properly documented at the crate root.
This changes 'TempFile' doctests so that different file names are used
across them, avoiding race conditions where one test deletes a file
another test just created and thus expects to subsequently exist.
This has the following nice benefits:
* The 'Uuid' wrapper type is gone.
* 'Uuid' implements 'UriDisplay', 'FromUriParam'.
* The 'serialization' example merges in 'uuid'.
Resolves#1299.
The 'SpaceHelmet' fairing is now called 'Shield'. It features the
following changes and improvements:
* Headers which are now ignored by browsers are removed.
* 'XssFilter' is no longer an on-by-default policy.
* A new 'Permission' policy is introduced.
* 'Shield' is attached to all 'Rocket' instances by default.
* Default headers never allocate on 'Clone'.
* Policy headers are rendered once and cached at start-up.
* Improved use of typed URIs in policy types.
A singleton fairing is guaranteed to be the only instance of its type at
launch time. If more than one instance of a singleton fairing is
attached, only the last instance is retained.
Previously, if a panic occurred with an 'Error' on the stack, 'Error'
would panic as usual during unwinding. This resulted in a double panic.
This commit makes 'Error' detect if a panic is already occurring and
omits its own panic if it is.
This has the following nice benefits:
* The 'JsonValue' wrapper type is gone.
* 'Local{Request, Response}' natively support JSON/MessagePack.
* The 'json' and 'msgpack' limits are officially recognized.
* Soon, Rocket application will not require an explicit 'serde' dep.
This marks the beginning of the end of 'rocket_contrib'.
This commit entirely rewrites Rocket's URI parsing routines and
overhauls the 'uri!' macro resolving all known issues and removing any
potential limitations for compile-time URI creation. This commit:
* Introduces a new 'Reference' URI variant for URI-references.
* Modifies 'Redirect' to accept 'TryFrom<Reference>'.
* Introduces a new 'Asterisk' URI variant for parity.
* Allows creation of any URI type from a string literal via 'uri!'.
* Enables dynamic/static prefixing/suffixing of route URIs in 'uri!'.
* Unifies 'Segments' and 'QuerySegments' into one generic 'Segments'.
* Consolidates URI formatting types/traits into a 'uri::fmt' module.
* Makes APIs more symmetric across URI types.
It also includes the following less-relevant changes:
* Implements 'FromParam' for a single-segment 'PathBuf'.
* Adds 'FileName::is_safe()'.
* No longer reparses upstream request URIs.
Resolves#842.
Resolves#853.
Resolves#998.
This has the following positive effects:
1) The lifetime retrieved through 'Deref' is now long-lived.
2) An '&State<T>` can be created via an '&T'.
3) '&State<T>' is shorter to type than 'State<'_, T>'.
