[Yesod?][Chromium?] file-echo.lhs on chromium
by いとうかつとし 24 Nov '10

Hi now, I runhaskell file-echo.lhs sample which in yesoddocs/yesod/tutorials, and check it on firefox and chromium browsers. On firefox, I confirm the program works good for varias type files. But, on chromium, i get error for same uploaded files which has no extensions like as README, TODO, LICENSE, ... when, I modify file-echo.lhs as below in order to get a log. --- postHomepage = do rr <- getRequest liftIO $ putStrLn "OK" -- Logging (_, files) <- liftIO $ requestBody rr fi <- maybe notFound return $ lookup "file" files liftIO $ do -- Logging putStrLn $ fileName fi putStrLn $ fileContentType fi return [(fileContentType fi, toContent $ fileContent fi)] --- On chromium, this handler function success to putStrLn "OK", but fail to putStrLn the others. I'd like to check HTTP headers, But i couldn't find my POST request in "Resources". The developer tool on chromium, my POST request is replaced by a request for 'chrome://chromewebdata/' Anyone knows this problem?

Yes you can, but not by using a State monad. You basically have two choices: * Store inside the Yesod process, using something like an MVar or TVar. This will work fine, unless you are using multiple Yesod processes to serve requests (odds are, you aren't). * Store state in the database. But if you just want to store a small amount of data about the user, you can use the session, which stores the data encrypted in a cookie. I can give you better advice if I know what the purpose of this is. Michael

IDEA: wai-vhost
by Michael Snoyman 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Just thought I'd throw out an idea I've been bouncing around and see if anyone would be interested in either using or implementing it. Basically, it allows multiple WAI applications to be run as a single app and switch which app responds to a request based upon the Host, the same way virtual hosting works in web servers like nginx, Apache or lighttpd. I would imagine the type signature would look something like: vhost :: [(String, Application)] -> Application -> Application The first argument would be a list of applications and their respective virtual hosts (this would probably be better as a Map for performance, kind of irrelevant at this point). The second argument would be the default application to run when none of the vhosts match. This could even just be an app that always returns a 404. It returns a new application handles all of this transparently. I can see two immediate uses: * Instead of running a whole bunch of WAI fastcgi processes on a server, you could run just a single process that automatically deals out requests to the right app. This would save on memory usage, especially when your apps are all sharing the same Haskell libraries. * Instead of needing a dedicated web server like nginx to handle vhosting, you could use the Snap handler with this and be running a pure Haskell stack. Advantage would be easier maintenance, plus better performance from cutting out the middleman. At this point, it's just an idea. I don't think it's hard to implement, but I wouldn't mind some feedback first. And if someone else wants to take a crack at it, please speak up! I wouldn't mind having one less package to maintain.

"Please Break Yesod" campaign
by Michael Snoyman 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Hey all, I'd like to kick off the "Please Break Yesod" campaign[1] by drawing everyone's attention to Matt Brown's commit which converts the Route associated type from a type family to a data family. tl;dr: it avoids "not injective" compiler errors, and is overall good, fuzzy and made of unicorns. I'm even told that applying it may help regrow my hair. Anyway, if people would mind pulling his code and making sure it compiles, I'd appreciate it. The last time I tried to make that transition I stumbled upon a bug in GHC 6.12.1. I don't remember what the bug was, and I don't remember what the code was, so this is mostly just me acting paranoid for no good reason.

session management
by Christian Maeder 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Hi, I've tried to understand session management looking at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/clientsession and http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/yesod/0.6.1.1/doc/html/Yesod-Ha… I want a server to create a (unique) session-id, send it back to the client (how?) and handle requests from the client that supply this session-id somehow (how?). Thanks Christian P.S. "cabal install yesod-examples" finally failed with: Loading package ffi-1.0 ... linking ... done. Linking dist/build/form/form ... yesod/tutorial/mkToForm.hs:11:7: Could not find module `MkToForm': Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: yesod-examples-0.6.0 failed during the building phase.

Yesod's Route as a data family
by Matt Brown 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hi all, I'm trying to create a yesod subsite with "private" urls. The subsite exports widgets which reference the urls, but the urls are not intended to be referenced from the master site handlers directly. In order for this to work, the sub site needs to know how to translate it's urls into master urls. I didn't like passing the subsite route as a parameter to every widget function, so I tried a class: class YesodSubRoute sub master where subRoute :: Route sub -> Route master After confronting the dreaded "type families are not injective" error (i.e. "sub" cannot be inferred from "Route sub", etc), I rewrote it as: class YesodSubRoute sub master where subRoute :: sub -> master -> Route sub -> Route master This works, but seems a bit cludgy to me. Looking closer, I realized that mkYesodGeneral never reuses types for Route instances, which means Route actually is injective (as long as instances are only being defined by mkYesodGeneral), the typechecker just doesn't know it. As an experiment, I changed Route to a data family. It went rather smoothly, and I was able to use my original definition of YesodSubRoute (instances of which could in theory be generated by mkYesodGeneral). The only trouble I've had is exporting Route instance constructors imported from another package (specifically yesod-auth in my case), which means every module referencing auth routes has to import Yesod.Helpers.Auth). Relevant commits are below. Does this seem like a sensible approach? Are there better alternatives? thanks, -matt https://github.com/softmechanics/yesod/commit/335722b6b234841492a6fba2eb46b… https://github.com/softmechanics/yesod-auth/commit/baf9b44978aad4dba9b86cfa…
