This commit includes two major changes to core:
1. Configuration state is no longer global. The `config::active()`
function has been removed. The active configuration can be
retrieved via the `config` method on a `Rocket` instance.
2. The `Responder` trait has changed. `Responder::respond(self)` has
been removed in favor of `Responder::respond_to(self, &Request)`.
This allows responders to dynamically adjust their response based
on the incoming request.
Additionally, it includes the following changes to core and codegen:
* The `Request::guard` method was added to allow for simple
retrivial of request guards.
* The `Request::limits` method was added to retrieve configured
limits.
* The `File` `Responder` implementation now uses a fixed size body
instead of a chunked body.
* The `Outcome::of<R: Responder>(R)` method was removed while
`Outcome::from<R: Responder(&Request, R)` was added.
* The unmounted and unmanaged limits are more cautious: they will only
emit warnings when the `Rocket` receiver is known.
This commit includes one major change to contrib:
1. To use contrib's templating, the fairing returned by
`Template::fairing()` must be attached to the running Rocket
instance.
Additionally, the `Display` implementation of `Template` was removed. To
directly render a template to a `String`, the new `Template::show`
method can be used.
This is a breaking change. A call to `Response::headers()` can be
replaced with `Response::headers().iter()`. A call to
`Response::header_values()` can be replaced with
`Response::headers().get()`.
This is a complete rework of `Responder`s and of the http backend in
general. This gets Rocket one step closer to HTTP library independence,
enabling many future features such as transparent async I/O, automatic
HEAD request parsing, pre/post hooks, and more.
Summary of changes:
* `Responder::response` no longer takes in `FreshHyperResponse`.
Instead, it returns a new `Response` type.
* The new `Response` type now encapsulates a full HTTP response. As a
result, `Responder`s now return it.
* The `Handler` type now returns an `Outcome` directly.
* The `ErrorHandler` returns a `Result`. It can no longer forward,
which made no sense previously.
* `Stream` accepts a chunked size parameter.
* `StatusCode` removed in favor of new `Status` type.
* `ContentType` significantly modified.
* New, lightweight `Header` type that plays nicely with `Response`.
Summary of changes:
* Request no longer has a lifetime parameter.
* Handler type now includes a `Data` parameter.
* Response is now an enum that is either `Complete` or `Forward`.
* Outcome enum is now one of: Success, Failure, Forward.
* Outcome::Foward for Responses must include StatusCode.
* Responders are now final: they cannot forward to requests. (!!)
* Responsers may only forward to catchers. (!!)
* Response no longer provides wrapping methods.
* Route is now cloneable.
This change is fundamental to enabling streaming requests.
* Add content-type responsers for JSON, HTML, and plain text.
* Use content-type responders in content_type example.
* Conditionally create Request `from` HypRequest.
* Clean-up dispatching and handling in main rocket.
* Change Level enum to Logging Level and reexport.
* Allow users to set logging level before launch.
* Fix content_type example error handling.
* Percent decode params when user requests `String`.
This means we have almost all of the infrastructure in place to properly use
ranked requests. At the moment, we only use this to allow user error handlers
when a responder fails. But, soon enough, we'll try the next highest ranked
route until there are no more matching routes. Yipee!
Here's the idea: under the `Rocket` namespace should live things critical to
writing simple Rocket apps: Request, Response, Error, etc. Nothing should be
nested more than one level deep. Only items required for more complex things
(implementing uncommon traits, etc.) should be nested one level deep.
This commit is the first attempt at realizing this.
There's something going on with Hyper. When a 303 (see other) response is sent
in response to a POST, the browser does a GET to the location header. Hyper
somehow misreads the method parameter here, resulting in a route failer.
I need to MITM the connection to see exactly what the browser is sending and
what Hyper is receiving to see who's wrong.
