Functions

choose_charset(CSets, AccCharHdr)
Select the best fitting character set or none
choose_encoding(Encs, AccEncHdr)
Select the best fitting encoding or none
choose_media_type_accepted(ContentTypesAccepted, ReqHeader)
choose_media_type_provided(Provided, AcceptHead)
Match the Accept request header with content_types_provided.
Return the Content-Type for the response.
If there is no acceptable/available match, return the atom none.
AcceptHead is the value of the request's Accept header.
Provided is a list of media types the controller can provide:
  • a binary e.g. — <<"text/html">>
  • a binary and parameters e.g. — {<<"text/html">>,[{<<"level">>,<<"1">>}]}
  • two binaries e.g. {<<"text">>, <<"html">>}
  • two binaries and parameters e.g. — {<<"text">>,<<"html">>,[{<<"level">>,<<"1">>}]}
(the plain string case with no parameters is much more common)
convert_request_date(Date)
Parse the HTTP date (IMF-fixdate, rfc850, asctime).
format_content_type(MediaType)
is_media_type_accepted(ContentTypesAccepted, ContentTypeReqHeader)
Match the Content-Type request header with content_types_accepted against.
is_valid_header(Header)
Check header valid characters, see rfc822
is_valid_header_value(Header)
Check if the given value is acceptaple for a http header value.
normalize_content_type(Type)
parse_header(String)
Parse a Content-Type like header, return the main Content-Type and a property list of options.
parse_qs(String)
Parse an application/x-www-form-urlencoded string.
See also specification.
quoted_string(String)
split_quoted_strings(String)
valid_location(Location)
Check if the given location is safe to use as a location header. This is uses as a defense against urls with scripts. The test is quite strict and will drop values that might have been acceptable.
