This is fairly large commit with several entangled logical changes.
The primary change in this commit is to completely overhaul how URI
handling in Rocket works. Prior to this commit, the `Uri` type acted as
an origin API. Its parser was minimal and lenient, allowing URIs that
were invalid according to RFC 7230. By contrast, the new `Uri` type
brings with it a strict RFC 7230 compliant parser. The `Uri` type now
represents any kind of valid URI, not simply `Origin` types. Three new
URI types were introduced:
* `Origin` - represents valid origin URIs
* `Absolute` - represents valid absolute URIs
* `Authority` - represents valid authority URIs
The `Origin` type replaces `Uri` in many cases:
* As fields and method inputs of `Route`
* The `&Uri` request guard is now `&Origin`
* The `uri!` macro produces an `Origin` instead of a `Uri`
The strict nature of URI parsing cascaded into the following changes:
* Several `Route` methods now `panic!` on invalid URIs
* The `Rocket::mount()` method is (correctly) stricter with URIs
* The `Redirect` constructors take a `TryInto<Uri>` type
* Dispatching of a `LocalRequest` correctly validates URIs
Overall, URIs are now properly and uniformly handled throughout Rocket's
codebase, resulting in a more reliable and correct system.
In addition to these URI changes, the following changes are also part of
this commit:
* The `LocalRequest::cloned_dispatch()` method was removed in favor of
chaining `.clone().dispatch()`.
* The entire Rocket codebase uses `crate` instead of `pub(crate)` as a
visibility modifier.
* Rocket uses the `crate_visibility_modifier` and `try_from` features.
A note on unsafety: this commit introduces many uses of `unsafe` in the
URI parser. All of these uses are a result of unsafely transforming byte
slices (`&[u8]` or similar) into strings (`&str`). The parser ensures
that these casts are safe, but of course, we must label their use
`unsafe`. The parser was written to be as generic and efficient as
possible and thus can parse directly from byte sources. Rocket, however,
does not make use of this fact and so would be able to remove all uses
of `unsafe` by parsing from an existing `&str`. This should be
considered in the future.
Fixes#443.
Resolves#263.
The directory structure has changed to better isolate crates serving
core and contrib. The new directory structure is:
contrib/
lib/ - the contrib library
core/
lib/ - the core Rocket library
codegen/ - the "compile extension" codegen library
codegen_next/ - the new proc-macro library
examples/ - unchanged
scripts/ - unchanged
site/ - unchanged
This commit also removes the following files:
appveyor.yml - AppVeyor (Rust on Windows) is far too spotty for use
rustfmt.toml - rustfmt is, unfortunately, not mature enough for use
Finally, all example Cargo crates were marked with 'publish = false'.
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 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.
The `testing` feature no longer exists. Testing structures can now be
accessed without any features enabled.
Prior to this change, Rocket would panic when draining from a network
stream failed. With this change, Rocket force closes the stream on any
error.
This change also ensures that the `Fairings` launch output only prints
if at least one fairing has been attached.
This commit changes the routing algorithm. In particular, it enforces
precise matching of formats. With this change, a route with a specified
format only matches requests that have the same format specified. A
route with no format specified matches any request's format. This is
contrast to the previous behavior, where a route without a specified
format would match requests regardless of their format or whether one
was specified.
This commit also changes the following:
* The return type of the 'content_type' method of 'Request' is now
'Option<ContentType>'.
* The 'ContentType' request guard forwards when the request has no
specified ContentType.
* The 'add_header' and 'replace_header' methods take the header
argument generically.
Closes#120.
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`.
This commit includes the following important API changes:
* The `form` route parameter has been removed.
* The `data` route parameter has been added.
* Forms are not handled via the `data` parameter and `Form` type.
* Removed the `data` parameter from `Request`.
* Added `FromData` conversion trate and default implementation.
* Added `DataOutcome` enum, which is the return type of `from_data`.
* 'FromData' is now used to automatically derive the `data` parameter.
* Moved `form` into `request` module.
* Removed `Failure::new` in favor of direct value construction.
This commit includes the following important package additions:
* Added a 'raw_upload' example.
* `manual_routes` example uses `Data` parameter.
* Now building and running tests with `--all-features` flag.
* All exmaples have been updated to latest API.
* Now using upstream Tera.
This commit includes the following important fixes:
* Any valid ident is now allowed in single-parameter route parameters.
* Lifetimes are now properly stripped in code generation.
* `FromForm` derive now works on empty structs.
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.
