NAME
App::MFILE::WWW::Resource - HTTP request/response cycle
SYNOPSIS
In PSGI file:
use Web::Machine;
Web::Machine->new(
resource => 'App::MFILE::WWW::Resource',
)->to_app;DESCRIPTION
This is where we override the default versions of various methods defined by Web::Machine::Resource.
METHODS
context
This method is where we store data that needs to be shared among routines in this module.
service_available
This is the first method called on every incoming request.
content_types_provided
For GET requests, this is where we add our HTML body to the HTTP response.
charsets_provided
This method causes Web::Machine to encode the response body in UTF-8.
default_charset
Really use UTF-8 all the time.
allowed_methods
Determines which HTTP methods we recognize.
uri_too_long
Is the URI too long?
known_content_type
Looks at the 'Content-Type' header of POST requests, and generates a "415 Unsupported Media Type" response if it is anything other than 'application/json'.
malformed_request
This test examines the request body. It can either be empty or contain valid JSON; otherwise, a '400 Malformed Request' response is returned. If it contains valid JSON, it is converted into a Perl hashref and stored in the 'request_body' attribute of the context.
main_html
Takes the session object and returns HTML string to be displayed in the user's browser.
FIXME: might be worth spinning this off into a separate module.
test_html
Generate html for running unit tests
