| Description |
Session-level interactions over HTTP.
The Network.Browser goes beyond the basic Network.HTTP functionality in
providing support for more involved, and real, request/response interactions over
HTTP. Additional features supported are:
- HTTP Authentication handling
- Transparent handling of redirects
- Cookie stores + transmission.
- Transaction logging
- Proxy-mediated connections.
Example use:
do
rsp <- Network.Browser.browse $ do
setAllowRedirects True -- handle HTTP redirects
request $ getRequest "http://google.com/"
fmap (take 100) (getResponseBody rsp)

| Documentation |
|
| data BrowserState connection |
| BrowserState is the (large) record type tracking the current
settings of the browser.
|  Instances | |
|
|
| data BrowserAction conn a |
| BrowserAction is the IO monad, but carrying along a BrowserState.
| | Instances | |
|
|
| data Proxy |
| HTTP proxies (or not) are represented via Proxy, specifying if a
proxy should be used for the request (see Network.Browser.setProxy)
| | Constructors | |
|
|
| browse :: BrowserAction conn a -> IO a |
| browse act is the toplevel action to perform a BrowserAction.
Example use: browse (request (getRequest yourURL)).
|
|
| request :: HStream ty => Request ty -> BrowserAction (HandleStream ty) (URI, Response ty) |
| request httpRequest tries to submit the Request httpRequest
to some HTTP server (possibly going via a proxy, see setProxy.)
Upon successful delivery, the URL where the response was fetched from
is returned along with the Response itself.
|
|
| getBrowserState :: BrowserAction t (BrowserState t) |
| getBrowserState returns the current browser config. Useful
for restoring state across BrowserActions.
|
|
| withBrowserState :: BrowserState t -> BrowserAction t a -> BrowserAction t a |
| withBrowserAction st act performs act with BrowserState st.
|
|
| setAllowRedirects :: Bool -> BrowserAction t () |
| setAllowRedirects onOff toggles the willingness to
follow redirects (HTTP responses with 3xx status codes).
|
|
| getAllowRedirects :: BrowserAction t Bool |
| getAllowRedirects returns current setting of the do-chase-redirects flag.
|
|
| setMaxRedirects :: Maybe Int -> BrowserAction t () |
| setMaxRedirects maxCount sets the maxiumum number of forwarding hops
we are willing to jump through. A no-op if the count is negative; if zero,
the max is set to whatever default applies. Notice that setting the max
redirects count does not enable following of redirects itself; use
setAllowRedirects to do so.
|
|
| getMaxRedirects :: BrowserAction t (Maybe Int) |
| getMaxRedirects returns the current setting for the max-redirect count.
If Nothing, the Network.Browser's default is used.
|
|
| data Authority |
| Authority specifies the HTTP Authentication method to use for
a given domain/realm; Basic or Digest.
| | Constructors | |
|
|
| getAuthorities :: BrowserAction t [Authority] |
| getAuthorities return the current set of Authoritys known
to the browser.
|
|
| setAuthorities :: [Authority] -> BrowserAction t () |
|
| addAuthority :: Authority -> BrowserAction t () |
|
| data Challenge |
|
|
| data Qop |
| Constructors | | | Instances | |
|
|
| data Algorithm |
| Algorithm controls the digest algorithm to, MD5 or MD5Session.
| | Constructors | | | Instances | |
|
|
| getAuthorityGen :: BrowserAction t (URI -> String -> IO (Maybe (String, String))) |
| getAuthorityGen returns the current authority generator
|
|
| setAuthorityGen :: (URI -> String -> IO (Maybe (String, String))) -> BrowserAction t () |
| setAuthorityGen genAct sets the auth generator to genAct.
|
|
| setAllowBasicAuth :: Bool -> BrowserAction t () |
| setAllowBasicAuth onOff enables/disables HTTP Basic Authentication.
|
|
| getAllowBasicAuth :: BrowserAction t Bool |
|
| setMaxErrorRetries :: Maybe Int -> BrowserAction t () |
| setMaxErrorRetries mbMax sets the maximum number of attempts at
transmitting a request. If Nothing, rever to default max.
|
|
| getMaxErrorRetries :: BrowserAction t (Maybe Int) |
| getMaxErrorRetries returns the current max number of error retries.
|
|
| setMaxAuthAttempts :: Maybe Int -> BrowserAction t () |
| setMaxAuthAttempts mbMax sets the maximum number of authentication attempts
to do. If Nothing, rever to default max.
|
|
| getMaxAuthAttempts :: BrowserAction t (Maybe Int) |
| getMaxAuthAttempts returns the current max auth attempts. If Nothing,
the browser's default is used.
|
|
| setCookieFilter :: (URI -> Cookie -> IO Bool) -> BrowserAction t () |
| setCookieFilter fn sets the cookie acceptance filter to fn.
|
|
| getCookieFilter :: BrowserAction t (URI -> Cookie -> IO Bool) |
| getCookieFilter returns the current cookie acceptance filter.
|
|
| defaultCookieFilter :: URI -> Cookie -> IO Bool |
| defaultCookieFilter is the initial cookie acceptance filter.
It welcomes them all into the store :-)
|
|
| userCookieFilter :: URI -> Cookie -> IO Bool |
| userCookieFilter is a handy acceptance filter, asking the
user if he/she is willing to accept an incoming cookie before
adding it to the store.
|
|
| data Cookie |
| Cookie is the Haskell representation of HTTP cookie values.
See its relevant specs for authoritative details.
| | Constructors | | | Instances | |
|
|
| getCookies :: BrowserAction t [Cookie] |
| getCookies returns the current set of cookies known to
the browser.
|
|
| setCookies :: [Cookie] -> BrowserAction t () |
| setCookies cookies replaces the set of cookies known to
the browser to cookies. Useful when wanting to restore cookies
used across browse invocations.
|
|
| addCookie :: Cookie -> BrowserAction t () |
| addCookie c adds a cookie to the browser state, removing duplicates.
|
|
| setErrHandler :: (String -> IO ()) -> BrowserAction t () |
| setErrHandler sets the IO action to call when
the browser reports running errors. To disable any
such, set it to const (return ()).
|
|
| setOutHandler :: (String -> IO ()) -> BrowserAction t () |
| setErrHandler sets the IO action to call when
the browser chatters info on its running. To disable any
such, set it to const (return ()).
|
|
| setEventHandler :: Maybe (BrowserEvent -> BrowserAction ty ()) -> BrowserAction ty () |
| setEventHandler onBrowserEvent configures event handling.
If onBrowserEvent is Nothing, event handling is turned off;
setting it to Just onEv causes the onEv IO action to be
notified of browser events during the processing of a request
by the Browser pipeline.
|
|
| data BrowserEvent |
| BrowserEvent is the event record type that a user-defined handler, set
via setEventHandler, will be passed. It indicates various state changes
encountered in the processing of a given RequestID, along with timestamps
at which they occurred.
| | Constructors | |
|
|
| data BrowserEventType |
| BrowserEventType is the enumerated list of events that the browser
internals will report to a user-defined event handler.
| | Constructors | | OpenConnection | | | ReuseConnection | | | RequestSent | | | ResponseEnd ResponseData | | | ResponseFinish | |
|
|
|
| type RequestID = Int |
|
| setProxy :: Proxy -> BrowserAction t () |
| setProxy p will disable proxy usage if p is NoProxy.
If p is Proxy proxyURL mbAuth, then proxyURL is interpreted
as the URL of the proxy to use, possibly authenticating via
Authority information in mbAuth.
|
|
| getProxy :: BrowserAction t Proxy |
| getProxy returns the current proxy settings. If
the auto-proxy flag is set to True, getProxy will
perform the necessary
|
|
| setCheckForProxy :: Bool -> BrowserAction t () |
| setCheckForProxy flg sets the one-time check for proxy
flag to flg. If True, the session will try to determine
the proxy server is locally configured. See fetchProxy
for details of how this done.
|
|
| getCheckForProxy :: BrowserAction t Bool |
| getCheckForProxy returns the current check-proxy setting.
Notice that this may not be equal to True if the session has
set it to that via setCheckForProxy and subsequently performed
some HTTP protocol interactions. i.e., the flag return represents
whether a proxy will be checked for again before any future protocol
interactions.
|
|
| setDebugLog :: Maybe String -> BrowserAction t () |
| setDebugLog mbFile turns off debug logging iff mbFile
is Nothing. If set to Just fStem, logs of browser activity
is appended to files of the form fStem-url-authority, i.e.,
fStem is just the prefix for a set of log files, one per host/authority.
|
|
| getUserAgent :: BrowserAction t String |
| getUserAgent returns the current User-Agent: default string.
|
|
| setUserAgent :: String -> BrowserAction t () |
| setUserAgent ua sets the current User-Agent: string to ua. It
will be used if no explicit user agent header is found in subsequent requests.
|
|
| out :: String -> BrowserAction t () |
|
| err :: String -> BrowserAction t () |
|
| ioAction :: IO a -> BrowserAction t a |
| Lifts an IO action into the BrowserAction monad.
|
|
| defaultGETRequest :: URI -> Request_String |
|
| defaultGETRequest_ :: BufferType a => URI -> Request a |
|
| formToRequest :: Form -> Request_String |
|
| uriDefaultTo :: URI -> URI -> URI |
| uriDefaultTo a b returns a URI that is consistent with the first
argument URI a when read in the context of the second URI b.
If the second argument is not sufficient context for determining
a full URI then anarchy reins.
|
|
| data Form |
|
|
| type FormVar = (String, String) |
