msys.httpsrv.register
Name
msys.httpsrv.register — Register a Lua function as an HTTP endpoint
Synopsis
require("msys.httpsrv");
msys.httpsrv.register(method, endpoint, function_name);
method: string
endpoint: string
function_name: string
Description
Use this function to register a Lua function as an HTTP endpoint. You can register the same endpoint multiple times with different methods:
msys.httpsrv.register(“GET”, “/somepath”, my_endpoint) msys.httpsrv.register(“POST”, “/somepath”, my_endpoint)
A Lua function registered in this way has access to the HTTP session object. For a description of the session object, see ec_httpsrv_session.
The function_name Lua function is called when a HTTP request is made matching the method HTTP method and endpoint base URI path.
Method can be nil, meaning “all methods”. Although, this setting is unlikely in practice.
Note that the trailing slash '/' character is optional on endpoint handlers.
require("msys.extended.httpsrv")
require("msys.core")
local mod = {}
-- HTTP endpoint
function mysimple_handler(session)
local url_details = session:request_url_get()
local response = url_details.url .. " says: Hello world!"
session:response_status_set_std(200, response, "text/plain")
end
--Console command
local function delay_domain(cc)
-- Check the number of parameters
if cc.argc < 2 then
print("You must pass a parameter to this command");
return;
end
local domain = cc.argv[1];
local dr = msys.core.dns_get_domain(domain);
if dr ~= nil then
msys.core.mail_queue_delay_domain(dr, "451 4.4.1 [internal] manually delayed domain]");
print(domain, "added to the delayed queue.");
end
end
function mod:rsrc_setup()
msys.httpsrv.register("POST", "/somepath", mysimple_handler)
msys.registerControl("some_command", delay_domain)
return true
end
msys.registerModule("example", mod)
Note
The rsrc_setup hook provides a safer way to register resources against new config actions. Note that this example shows how to register an ec_console command as well as a custom HTTP endpoint. In Momentum 4, use the code shown here rather than the code shown in the msys.registerControl example.
