Sessions
--------
This commit removes the `Session` type in favor of methods on the
`Cookies` types that allow for adding, removing, and getting private
(signed and encrypted) cookies. These methods provide a superset of
the functionality of `Session` while also being a minimal addition to
the existing API. They can be used to implement the previous `Session`
type as well as other forms of session storage. The new methods are:
* Cookie::add_private(&mut self, Cookie)
* Cookie::remove_private(&mut self, Cookie)
* Cookie::get_private(&self, &str)
Resolves#20
Testing
-------
This commit removes the `rocket::testing` module. It adds the
`rocket::local` module which provides a `Client` type for local
dispatching of requests against a `Rocket` instance. This `local`
package subsumes the previous `testing` package.
Rocket Examples
---------------
The `forms`, `optional_result`, and `hello_alt_methods` examples have
been removed. The following example have been renamed:
* extended_validation -> form_validation
* hello_ranks -> ranking
* from_request -> request_guard
* hello_tls -> tls
Other Changes
-------------
This commit also includes the following smaller changes:
* Config::{development, staging, production} constructors have been
added for easier creation of default `Config` structures.
* The `Config` type is exported from the root.
* `Request` implements `Clone` and `Debug`.
* `Request::new` is no longer exported.
* A `Response::body_bytes` method was added to easily retrieve a
response's body as a `Vec<u8>`.
This commit also adds the `base` field to `Route` which allows the
base mount point to be retrieved. Finally, this commits adds an
implementation of `FromRequest` for `Route` which returns the active
route if one is available or forwards otherwise.
This commit is a breaking change: it makes `Request` and `MockRequest`
invariant over the lifetime `'r`. While this shouldn't affect most
applications, it may affect some.
Resolves#108.
Differential and causal profiling determined that 35% of `Hello, world!`
dispatch time was spent rendering `Content-Type` due to many calls to `fmt` in
`MediaType::Display` and an allocation in `ContentType::Into<Header>`. This
change reduces the number of calls to `fmt` to 1 in `MediaType::Display` and
removes the allocation in `Into<Header>` for known media types.
This change also caches a `Rocket` "precheck" so that pre-dispatch checks are
done only a single time for a given `Rocket` instance, further reducing
`MockRequest::dispatch_with` time for "Hello, world!" by roughly 15%.
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.
Modifying the `Rocket` structure just before launch doesn't make sense for
several reasons: 1) those affects can't influence the launch, and 2) they won't
be observed in tests. Thus, an `Attach` fairing kind was added that ameliorates
these issues.
