HTTP

The icanboogie/http package provides an API to handle HTTP requests, with representations for requests, request files, responses, and headers. A request dispatcher is also provided, that can be used with your favorite routing solution with very little effort.

The following example demonstrates how you can use a simple closure to create a Hello world! application:

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$dispatcher = new RequestDispatcher([

	'hello world' => function(Request $request) {

		$who = $request['name'] ?: 'world';

		return new Response("Hello $who!", Response::STATUS_OK, [

			'Content-Type' => 'text/plain'

		]);

	}

]);

$request = Request::from($_SERVER);
$response = $dispatcher($request);
$response();

Note: You might want to check the icanboogie/routing package if you require a nice router.

Request

A request is represented by a Request instance. The initial request is usually created from the $_SERVER array, while sub requests are created from arrays of Request::OPTION_* or RequestOptions::OPTION_* options.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;

$initial_request = Request::from($_SERVER);

# a custom request in the same environment

$request = Request::from('path/to/file.html', $_SERVER);

# a request created from scratch

$request = Request::from([

	Request::OPTION_PATH => 'path/to/file.html',
	Request::OPTION_IS_LOCAL => true,            // or OPTION_IP => '::1'
	Request::OPTION_IS_POST => true,             // or OPTION_METHOD => Request::METHOD_POST
	Request::OPTION_HEADERS => [

		'Cache-Control' => 'no-cache'

	]

]);

Safe and idempotent requests

Safe methods are HTTP methods that do not modify resources. For instance, using GET or HEAD on a resource URL, should NEVER change the resource.

The is_safe property may be used to check if a request is safe or not.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;

Request::from([ Request::OPTION_METHOD => Request::METHOD_GET ])->is_safe; // true
Request::from([ Request::OPTION_METHOD => Request::METHOD_POST ])->is_safe; // false
Request::from([ Request::OPTION_METHOD => Request::METHOD_DELETE ])->is_safe; // false

An idempotent HTTP method is a HTTP method that can be called many times without different outcomes. It would not matter if the method is called only once, or ten times over. The result should be the same.

The is_idempotent property may be used to check if a request is idempotent or not.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;

Request::from([ Request::OPTION_METHOD => Request::METHOD_GET ])->is_idempotent; // true
Request::from([ Request::OPTION_METHOD => Request::METHOD_POST ])->is_idempotent; // false
Request::from([ Request::OPTION_METHOD => Request::METHOD_DELETE ])->is_idempotent; // true

A request with changed properties

Requests are for the most part immutable, the with() method creates an instance copy with changed properties.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;

$request = Request::from($_SERVER)->with([

	Request::OPTION_IS_HEAD => true,
	Request::OPTION_IS_XHR => true

]);

Request parameters

Whether they are sent as part of the query string, the post body, or the path info, parameters sent along a request are collected in arrays. The query_params, request_params, and path_params properties give you access to these parameters.

You can access each type of parameter as follows:

<?php

/* @var $request \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request */

$id = $request->query_params['id'];
$method = $request->request_params['method'];
$info = $request->path_params['info'];

All the request parameters are also available through the params property, which merges the query, request and path parameters:

<?php

/* @var $request \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request */

$id = $request->params['id'];
$method = $request->params['method'];
$info = $request->params['info'];

Used as an array, the Request instance provides these parameters as well, but returns null when a parameter is not defined:

<?php

/* @var $request \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request */

$id = $request['id'];
$method = $request['method'];
$info = $request['info'];

var_dump($request['undefined']); // null

Of course, the request is also an iterator:

<?php

/* @var $request \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request */

foreach ($request as $parameter => $value)
{
	echo "$parameter: $value\n";
}

Request files

Files associated with a request are collected in a FileList instance. The initial request created with $_SERVER obtain its files from $_FILES. For custom requests, files are defined using OPTION_FILES.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\FileOptions as File;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;

$request = Request::from($_SERVER);

# or

$request = Request::from([

	Request::OPTION_FILES => [

		'uploaded' => [ File::OPTION_PATHNAME => '/path/to/my/example.zip' ]

	]

]);

#

$files = $request->files;    // instanceof FileList
$file = $files['uploaded'];  // instanceof File
$file = $files['undefined']; // null

Uploaded files, and pretend uploaded files, are represented by File instances. The class tries its best to provide the same API for both. The is_uploaded property helps you set them apart.

The is_valid property is a simple way to check if a file is valid. The move() method let's you move the file out of the temporary folder or around the filesystem.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\File;

/* @var $file File */

echo $file->name;            // example.zip
echo $file->unsuffixed_name; // example
echo $file->extension;       // .zip
echo $file->size;            // 1234
echo $file->type;            // application/zip
echo $file->is_uploaded;     // false

if ($file->is_valid)
{
	$file->move('/path/to/repository/' . $file->name, File::MOVE_OVERWRITE);
}

The match() method is used to check if a file matches a MIME type, a MIME class, or a file extension:

<?php

/* @var $file \ICanBoogie\HTTP\File */

echo $file->match('application/zip');             // true
echo $file->match('application');                 // true
echo $file->match('.zip');                        // true
echo $file->match('image/png');                   // false
echo $file->match('image');                       // false
echo $file->match('.png');                        // false

The method also handles sets, and returns true if there's any match:

echo $file->match([ '.png', 'application/zip' ]); // true
echo $file->match([ '.png', '.zip' ]);            // true
echo $file->match([ 'image/png', '.zip' ]);       // true
echo $file->match([ 'image/png', 'text/plain' ]); // false

File instances implement the ToArray interface and can be converted into arrays with the to_array() method:

$file->to_array();
/*
[
	'name' => 'example.zip',
	'unsuffixed_name' => 'example',
	'extension' => '.zip',
	'type' => 'application/zip',
	'size' => 1234,
	'pathname' => '/path/to/my/example.zip',
	'error' => null,
	'error_message' => null
]
*/

Request context

Because requests may be nested the request context offers a safe place where you can store the state of your application that is relative to a request, for instance a request relative site, page, route, dispatcher… The context may be used as an array, but is also a prototyped instance.

The following example demonstrates how to store a value in a request context:

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;

$request = Request::from($_SERVER);
$request->context['site'] = $app->models['sites']->one;

The following example demonstrates how to use the prototype feature to provide a value when it is requested from the context:

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request\Context;
use ICanBoogie\Prototype;

Prototype::from(Context::class)['lazy_get_site'] = function(Context $context) use ($site_model) {

	return $site_model->resolve_from_request($context->request);

};

$request = Request::from($_SERVER);

$site = $request->context['site'];
# or
$site = $request->context->site;

Obtaining a response

A response is obtained from a request simply by invoking the request, or by invoking one of the available HTTP methods. The dispatch() helper is used to dispatch the request. A Response instance is returned if the dispatching is successful, a NotFound exception is thrown otherwise.

<?php

/* @var $request \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request */

$response = $request();

# using the POST method and additional parameters

$response = $request->post([ 'param' => 'value' ]);

Response

The response to a request is represented by a Response instance. The response body can either be null, a string, an object implementing __toString(), or a closure.

Note: Contrary to Request instances, Response instances or completely mutable.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response;

$response = new Response('<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><h1>Hello world!</h1></body></html>', Response::STATUS_OK, [

	'Content-Type' => 'text/html',
	'Cache-Control' => 'public, max-age=3600'

]);

The header and body are sent by invoking the response:

<?php

/* @var $response \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response */

$response();

Response status

The response status is represented by a Status instance. It may be defined as a HTTP response code such as 200, an array such as [ 200, "Ok" ], or a string such as "200 Ok".

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Status;

$response = new Response;

echo $response->status;               // 200 Ok
echo $response->status->code;         // 200
echo $response->status->message;      // Ok
$response->status->is_valid;          // true

$response->status = Response::STATUS_NOT_FOUND;
echo $response->status->code;         // 404
echo $response->status->message;      // Not Found
$response->status->is_valid;          // false
$response->status->is_client_error;   // true
$response->status->is_not_found;      // true

Streaming the response body

When a large response body needs to be streamed, it is recommended to use a closure as response body instead of a huge string that would consume a lot of memory.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Status;

$records = $app->models->order('created_at DESC');

$output = function() use ($records) {

	$out = fopen('php://output', 'w');

	foreach ($records as $record)
	{
		fputcsv($out, [ $record->title, $record->created_at ]);
	}

	fclose($out);

};

$response = new Response($output, Response::STATUS_OK, [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/csv' ]);

About the `Content-Length` header field

Before v2.3.2 the Content-Length header field was added automatically when it was computable, for instance when the body was a string or an instance implementing __toString(). Starting v2.3.2 this is no longer the case and the header field has to be defined when required. This was decided to prevent a bug with Apache+FastCGI+DEFLATE where the Content-Length field was not adjusted although the body was compressed. Also, in most cases it's not such a good idea to define that field for generated content because it prevents the response to be send as compressed chunks.

Redirect response

A redirect response may be created using a RedirectResponse instance.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\RedirectResponse;

$response = new RedirectResponse('/to/redirect/location');
$response->status->code;        // 302
$response->status->is_redirect; // true

Delivering a file

A file may be delivered using a FileResponse instance. Cache control and range requests are handled automatically, you just need to provide the pathname of the file, or a SplFileInfo instance, and a request.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\FileResponse;

/* @var $request \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request */

$response = new FileResponse("/absolute/path/to/my/file", $request);
$response();

The OPTION_FILENAME option may be used to force downloading. Of course, utf-8 string are supported:

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\FileResponse;

/* @var $request \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request */

$response = new FileResponse("/absolute/path/to/my/file", $request, [

	FileResponse::OPTION_FILENAME => "Vidéo d'un été à la mer.mp4"

]);

$response();

The following options are also available:

OPTION_ETAG: Specifies the ETag header field of the response. If it is not defined the SHA-384 of the file is used instead.
OPTION_EXPIRES: Specifies the expiration date as a DateTime instance or a relative date such as "+3 month", which maps to the Expires header field. The max-age directive of the Cache-Control header field is computed from the current time. If it is not defined DEFAULT_EXPIRES is used instead ("+1 month").
OPTION_MIME: Specifies the MIME of the file, which maps to the Content-Type header field. If it is not defined the MIME is guessed using finfo::file().

The following properties are available:

modified_time: Returns the last modified timestamp of the file.
is_modified: Whether the file was modified since the last response. The value is computed using the request header fields If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since, and the properties modified_time and etag.

Headers

HTTP headers are represented by a Headers instance. They are used by requests and responses, and may be used to create the headers string of the mail() command as well.

Content-Type header

The Content-Type header is represented by a ContentType instance.

<?php

/* @var $response \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response */

$response->headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/html; charset=utf-8';

echo $response->headers['Content-Type']->type; // text/html
echo $response->headers['Content-Type']->charset; // utf-8

$response->headers['Content-Type']->type = 'application/xml';

echo $response->headers['Content-Type']; // application/xml; charset=utf-8

Content-Disposition header

The Content-Disposition header is represented by a ContentDisposition instance. Of course, utf-8 file names are supported.

<?php

/* @var $response \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response */

$response->headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="été.jpg"';

echo $response->headers['Content-Disposition']->type; // attachment
echo $response->headers['Content-Disposition']->filename; // été.jpg

echo $response->headers['Content-Disposition']; // attachment; filename="ete.jpg"; filename*=UTF-8''%C3%A9t%C3%A9.jpg

Cache-Control header

The Cache-Control header is represented by a CacheControl instance. Directives can be set at once using a plain string, or individually using the properties of the CacheControl instance. Directives of the rfc2616 are supported.

<?php

/* @var $response \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response */

$response->headers['Cache-Control'] = 'public, max-age=3600, no-transform';

echo $response->headers['Cache-Control']; // public, max-age=3600, no-transform
echo $response->headers['Cache-Control']->cacheable; // public
echo $response->headers['Cache-Control']->max_age; // 3600
echo $response->headers['Cache-Control']->no_transform; // true

$response->headers['Cache-Control']->no_transform = false;
$response->headers['Cache-Control']->max_age = 7200;

echo $response->headers['Cache-Control']; // public, max-age=7200

Date, Expires, If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since and Retry-After headers

All date related headers can be specified as Unix timestamp, strings or DateTime instances.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response;

$response = new Response('{ "message": "Ok" }', Response::STATUS_OK, [

	'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
	'Date' => 'now',
	'Expires' => '+1 hour'

]);

Request dispatcher

A RequestDispatcher instance dispatches requests using a collection of domain dispatchers, for which The request dispatcher provides a nice framework. The request dispatcher sorts domain dispatchers according to their weight, fire events, and tries to rescue exceptions should they occur.

Domain dispatchers

A domain dispatcher handles a very specific type of request. It may be an instance implementing the Dispatcher interface, or simple callable.

The following example demonstrates how a RequestDispatcher instance may be created with several domain dispatchers:

operation: Defined by the icanboogie/operation package, handles operations.
routes: Defined by the icanboogie/routing package, handles routes defined using the routes configuration.
pages: Defined by the icybee/pages package, handles managed pages.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher;

$dispatcher = new RequestDispatcher([

	'operation' => \ICanBoogie\Operation\OperationDispatcher::class,
	'route' => \ICanBoogie\Routing\RouteDispatcher::class,
	'page' => \Icybee\Modules\Pages\PageDisptacher::class

]);

Weighted domain dispatchers

The order in which the dispatcher plugins are defined is important because each one of them is invoked in turn until one returns a response or throws an exception. Some dispatcher plugins might need to run before others, in that case they need to be defined using a WeightedDispatcher instance.

The weight is defined as an integer; the special values top or bottom; or a position relative to a target. Consider the following example:

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher;

$dispatcher = new RequestDispatcher([

	'two' => 'dummy',
	'three' => 'dummy'

]);

$dispatcher['bottom']      = new WeightedDispatcher('dummy', 'bottom');
$dispatcher['megabottom']  = new WeightedDispatcher('dummy', 'bottom');
$dispatcher['hyperbottom'] = new WeightedDispatcher('dummy', 'bottom');
$dispatcher['one']         = new WeightedDispatcher('dummy', 'before:two');
$dispatcher['four']        = new WeightedDispatcher('dummy', 'after:three');
$dispatcher['top']         = new WeightedDispatcher('dummy', 'top');
$dispatcher['megatop']     = new WeightedDispatcher('dummy', 'top');
$dispatcher['hypertop']    = new WeightedDispatcher('dummy', 'top');

$order = '';

foreach ($dispatcher as $dispatcher_id => $dummy)
{
	$order .= ' ' . $dispatcher_id;
}

echo $order; //  hypertop megatop top one two three four bottom megabottom hyperbottom

Notice how the before: and after: prefixes are used to indicate how the dispatcher plugins should be ordered relatively to the specified targets.

Dispatcher provider

The get_dispatcher() helper is used to retrieve the dispatcher to use to dispatch requests executed with $request(), $request->send(), $request->post(), … The helper uses DispatcherProvider::provide() to obtain a dispatcher, and if no provider is defined it defines a new instance of ProvideDispatcher as provider.

The following example demonstrates how you can define your own dispatcher by defining its provider:


use ICanBoogie\HTTP\DispatcherProvider;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher;
use function ICanBoogie\HTTP\get_dispatcher();

// …

DispatcherProvider::define(function() use ($domain_dispatchers) {

	static $dispatcher;

	if (!$dispatcher)
	{
		$dispatcher = new RequestDispatcher($domain_dispatchers);

		new RequestDispatcher\AlterEvent($dispatcher);
	}

	return $dispatcher;

});

get_dispatcher() === DispatcherProvider::provide();   // true

Altering the dispatcher

The ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher::alter event of class RequestDispatcher\AlterEvent is fired after the dispatcher has been created by an instance of ProvideDispatcher. Event hooks may attach to this event to register or alter domain dispatchers, or replace the request dispatcher altogether.

The following code illustrate how a hello dispatcher, that returns "Hello world!" when the request matches the path "/hello", can be registered.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response;

$app->events->attach(function(RequestDispatcher\AlterEvent $event, RequestDispatcher $target) {

	$target['hello'] = function(Request $request) {

		if ($request->path === '/hello')
		{
			return new Response('Hello world!');
		}

	}

});

Dispatching requests

When the request dispatcher is asked to handle a request, it invokes each of its domain dispatchers in turn until one returns a Response instance or throws an exception. If an exception is thrown during the dispatch, the request dispatcher tries to rescue it using either the domain dispatcher's rescue() method or the event system. Around that, events are fired to allow event hooks to alter the request, or alter or replace the response. Finally, if the request could not be resolved into a response a NotFound exception is thrown, otherwise the response is returned.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\NotFound;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Request;

/* @var $dispatcher \ICanBoogie\HTTP\Dispatcher */

$request = Request::from('/path/to/resource.html');

try
{
	$response = $dispatcher($request);
	$response();
}
catch (NotFound $e)
{
	echo $e->getMessage();
}

Before a request is dispatched

The ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher::dispatch:before event of class BeforeDispatchEvent is fired before a request is dispatched.

Event hooks may attach to this event to provide a response to the request before the domain dispatchers are invoked. If a response is provided the domain dispatchers are skipped.

The event is usually used to redirect requests or provide cached responses. The following code demonstrates how a request could be redirected if its path is not normalized. For instance a request for "/index.html" would be redirected to "/".

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\RedirectResponse;

/* @var $events \ICanBoogie\EventCollection */

$events->attach(function(RequestDispatcher\BeforeDispatchEvent $event, RequestDispatcher $dispatcher) {

	$path = $event->request->path;
	$normalized_path = $event->request->normalized_path;

	if ($path === $normalized_path)
	{
		return;
	}

	$event->response = new RedirectResponse($normalized_path);
	$event->stop();

});

Notice how the stop() method of the event is invoked to stop the event propagation and prevent other event hooks from altering the response.

After a request was dispatched

The ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher::dispatch event of class DispatchEvent is fired after a request was dispatched, even if no response was provided by domain dispatchers.

Event hooks may attach to this event to alter or replace the response before it is returned by the dispatcher. The following code demonstrates how a cache could be updated after a response with the content type "text/html" was found for a request.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\HTTP\RequestDispatcher;

/* @var $events \ICanBoogie\EventCollection */

$events->attach(function(RequestDispatcher\DispatchEvent $event, RequestDispatcher $target) use($cache) {

	$response = $event->response;

	if ($response->content_type->type !== 'text/html')
	{
		return;
	}

	$cache[sha1($event->request->uri)] = $event->response;

});

Rescuing exceptions

Most likely your application is going to throw exceptions, whether they are caused by software bugs or logic, you might want to handle them. For example, you might want to present a login form instead of the default exception message when a AuthenticationRequired exception is thrown.

Exceptions can be rescued at two levels: the domain dispatcher level, using its rescue() method; or the request dispatcher level, by listening to the Exception::rescue event.

Event hooks may attach to the Exception::rescue event of class RescueEvent to provide a response for an exception. The following example demonstrates how a login form can be returned as response when a AuthenticationRequired exception is thrown.

<?php

use ICanBoogie\Event;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\AuthenticationRequired;
use ICanBoogie\HTTP\Response;

/* @var $events \ICanBoogie\EventCollection */

$events->attach(function(ICanBoogie\Exception\RescueEvent $event, AuthenticationRequired $target) {

	ICanBoogie\log_error($target->getMessage());

	$event->response = new Response(new DocumentDecorator(new LoginForm), $target->getCode());
	$event->stop();

});

The `X-ICanBoogie-Rescued-Exception` header field

The X-ICanBoogie-Rescued-Exception header field is added to the response obtained while rescuing an exception, it indicates the origin of the exception, this might help you while tracking bugs.

Note that the origin path of the exception is relative to the DOCUMENT_ROOT.

Force redirect

If they are not rescued during the Exception::rescue event, ForceRedirect exceptions are resolved into RedirectResponse instances.

A second chance for `HEAD` requests

When a request with a HEAD method fails to get a response (a NotFound exception was thrown) the dispatcher tries the same request with a GET method instead. If a response is provided a new response is returned with only its status and headers but with an empty body, otherwise the dispatcher tries to rescue the exception.

Leveraging this feature, you won't have to implement a controller for the HEAD method if the controller for the GET method is good enough.

Stripping the body of responses to `HEAD` requests

The dispatcher cares about responses to HEAD requests and will strip responses of their body before returning them.

Exceptions

The following exceptions are defined by the HTTP package:

ClientError: thrown when a client error occurs.
- NotFound: thrown when a resource is not found. For instance, this exception is thrown by the dispatcher when it fails to resolve a request into a response.
- AuthenticationRequired: thrown when the authentication of the client is required. Implements SecurityError.
- PermissionRequired: thrown when the client lacks a required permission. Implements SecurityError.
- MethodNotSupported: thrown when a HTTP method is not supported.
ServerError: throw when a server error occurs.
- ServiceUnavailable: thrown when a server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance).
ForceRedirect: thrown when a redirect is absolutely required.
StatusCodeNotValid: thrown when a HTTP status code is not valid.

Exceptions defined by the package implement the ICanBoogie\HTTP\Exception interface. Using this interface one can easily catch HTTP related exceptions:

<?php

try
{
	// …
}
catch (\ICanBoogie\HTTP\Exception $e)
{
	// HTTP exception types
}
catch (\Exception $e)
{
	// Other exception types
}

Helpers

The following helpers are available:

dispatch(): Dispatches a request using the dispatcher returned by get_dispatcher().
get_dispatcher(): Returns the request dispatcher. If no dispatcher provider is defined, the method defines a new instance of DispatcherProvider as provider and use it to retrieve the dispatcher.
get_initial_request(): Returns the initial request.

<?php

namespace ICanBoogie\HTTP;

$request = get_initial_request();
$response = dispatch($request);
