Description

Add CORS (cross-origin resource sharing) headers to a Snap application. CORS headers can be added either conditionally or unconditionally to the entire site, or you can apply CORS headers to a single route.

To use in a snaplet, simply use `wrapSite`:

    wrapSite $ applyCORS defaultOptions

# Applying CORS to a specific response

applyCORS :: MonadSnap m => CORSOptions m -> m () -> m () #

Apply CORS headers to a specific request. This is useful if you only have a single action that needs CORS headers, and you don't want to pay for conditional checks on every request.

You should note that `applyCORS` needs to be used before you add any `method` combinators. For example, the following won't do what you want:

    method POST $ applyCORS defaultOptions $ myHandler

This fails to work as CORS requires an `OPTIONS` request in the preflighting stage, but this would get filtered out. Instead, use

    applyCORS defaultOptions $ method POST $ myHandler

# Option Specification

data CORSOptions (m :: Type -> Type) #

Specify the options to use when building CORS headers for a response. Most of these options are `Handler` actions to allow you to conditionally determine the setting of each header.

Constructors

CORSOptions |
Fields corsAllowOrigin :: m OriginList Which origins are allowed to make cross-origin requests. corsAllowCredentials :: m Bool Whether or not to allow exposing the response when the omit credentials flag is unset. corsExposeHeaders :: m (HashSet (CI ByteString)) A list of headers that are exposed to clients. This allows clients to read the values of these headers, if the response includes them. corsAllowedMethods :: m (HashSet HashableMethod) A list of request methods that are allowed. corsAllowedHeaders :: HashSet ByteString -> m (HashSet ByteString) An action to determine which of the request headers are allowed. This action is supplied the parsed contents of `Access-Control-Request-Headers`.

defaultOptions :: forall (m :: Type -> Type). Monad m => CORSOptions m #

Liberal default options. Specifies that:

- All origins may make cross-origin requests
- `allow-credentials` is true.
- No extra headers beyond simple headers are exposed.
- `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE` and `HEAD` are all allowed.
- All request headers are allowed.

All options are determined unconditionally.

## Origin lists

data OriginList #

Used to specify the contents of the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header.

Constructors

Everywhere | Allow any origin to access this resource. Corresponds to `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`
Nowhere | Do not allow cross-origin requests
Origins OriginSet | Allow cross-origin requests from these origins.

data OriginSet #

A set of origins. RFC 6454 specifies that origins are a scheme, host and port, so the `OriginSet` wrapper around a `HashSet` ensures that each `URI` constists of nothing more than this.

mkOriginSet :: [URI] -> OriginSet #

origins :: OriginSet -> HashSet HashableURI #

# Internals

newtype HashableURI #

A `newtype` over `URI` with a `Hashable` instance.
