Types

type Header

type Header interface {
	// Set sets the header entries associated with key to the single element value.
	// It replaces any existing values associated with key.
	// The key is case insensitive
	Set(key, value string)
	// Del deletes the values associated with key. The key is case insensitive
	Del(key string)
	// Get gets the first value associated with the given key.
	// If there are no values associated with the key, Get returns "".
	// It is case insensitive
	Get(key string) string
	// View returns the internal structure. It is expected for read operations. Any write operation
	// won't be recorded
	View() http.Header
}

Header is like http.Header, but only implements the subset of its methods

type Request

type Request interface {
	// ID returns the request id
	ID() uint32

	// SrcIP returns the client's IP
	SrcIP() net.IP
	// Method returns the HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, etc.)
	Method() string
	// Path returns the path part of the client's URI (without query string and the other parts)
	// It won't be equal to the one in the Request-Line sent by the client if it has
	// been rewritten by APISIX
	Path() []byte
	// SetPath is the setter for Path
	SetPath([]byte)
	// Header returns the HTTP headers
	Header() Header
	// Args returns the query string
	Args() url.Values

	// Var returns the value of a Nginx variable, like `r.Var("request_time")`
	//
	// To fetch the value, the runner will look up the request's cache first. If not found,
	// the runner will ask it from the APISIX. If the RPC call is failed, an error in
	// pkg/common.ErrConnClosed type is returned.
	Var(name string) ([]byte, error)

	// Body returns HTTP request body
	//
	// To fetch the value, the runner will look up the request's cache first. If not found,
	// the runner will ask it from the APISIX. If the RPC call is failed, an error in
	// pkg/common.ErrConnClosed type is returned.
	Body() ([]byte, error)

	// Context returns the request's context.
	//
	// The returned context is always non-nil; it defaults to the
	// background context.
	//
	// For run plugin, the context controls cancellation.
	Context() context.Context
	// RespHeader returns an http.Header which allows you to add or set response headers before reaching the upstream.
	// Some built-in headers would not take effect, like `connection`,`content-length`,`transfer-encoding`,`location,server`,`www-authenticate`,`content-encoding`,`content-type`,`content-location` and `content-language`
	RespHeader() http.Header
}

Request represents the HTTP request received by APISIX. We don't use net/http's Request because it doesn't suit our purpose. Take `Request.Header` as an example:

1. We need to record any change to the request headers. As the Request.Header is not an interface, there is not way to inject our special tracker.

2. As the author of fasthttp pointed out, "headers are stored in a map[string][]string. So the server must parse all the headers, ...". The official API is suboptimal, which is even worse in our case as it is not a real HTTP server.
