object AutoSlash

Removes a trailing slash from Request path

Removes a trailing slash from Request path

If a route exists with a file style Uri, eg "/foo", this middleware will cause Requests with uri = "/foo" and uri = "/foo/" to match the route.

Middelwares which allow for bracketing on a Request/Response, including the completion of the Response body stream.

Middelwares which allow for bracketing on a Request/Response, including the completion of the Response body stream.

These are analogous to cats.effect.Bracket and fs2.Stream.bracket. The reason that they exist is because due to the full termination of a Response being a function of the termination of the fs2.Stream which backs the response body, you can't actually use either cats.effect.Bracket or fs2.Stream.bracket directly.

Middleware to avoid Cross-site request forgery attacks. More info on CSRF at: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_(CSRF)

Middleware to avoid Cross-site request forgery attacks. More info on CSRF at: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_(CSRF)

This middleware is modeled after the double submit cookie pattern: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_(CSRF)_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet#Double_Submit_Cookie

When a user authenticates, embedNew is used to send a random CSRF value as a cookie. (Alternatively, an authenticating service can be wrapped in withNewToken).

By default, for requests that are unsafe (PUT, POST, DELETE, PATCH), services protected by the validated method in the middleware will check that the csrf token is present in both the header headerName and the cookie cookieName. Due to the Same-Origin policy, an attacker will be unable to reproduce this value in a custom header, resulting in a 403 Forbidden response.

By default, requests with safe methods (such as GET, OPTIONS, HEAD) will have a new token embedded in them if there isn't one, or will receive a refreshed token based off of the previous token to mitigate the BREACH vulnerability. If a request contains an invalid token, regardless of whether it is a safe method, this middleware will fail it with 403 Forbidden. In this situation, your user(s) should clear their cookies for your page, to receive a new token.

The default can be overridden by modifying the predicate in validate. It will, by default, check if the method is safe. Thus, you can provide some whitelisting capability for certain kinds of requests.

We'd like to emphasize that you please follow proper design principles in creating endpoints, as to not mutate in what should otherwise be idempotent methods (i.e no dropping your DB in a GET method, or altering user data). Please do not use the CSRF protection from this middleware as a safety net for bad design.

object Caching

Helper functions to support Caching.cache can be found in Caching.Helpers

Middlewares for tracking the quantity of concurrent requests.

Middlewares for tracking the quantity of concurrent requests.

These are generalized middlewares and can be used to implement metrics, logging, max concurrent requests, etc.

Note

The concurrent request count is decremented on the completion of the Response body, or in the event of any error, and is guaranteed to only occur once.

object Date

Date Middleware, adds the Date Header to All Responses generated by the service.

object DefaultHead

Handles HEAD requests as a GET without a body.

Handles HEAD requests as a GET without a body.

If the service returns the fallthrough response, the request is resubmitted as a GET. The resulting response's body is killed, but all headers are preserved. This is a naive, but correct, implementation of HEAD. Routes requiring more optimization should implement their own HEAD handler.

object HeaderEcho

Middleware to redirect http traffic to https. Inspects X-Forwarded-Proto header and if it is set to http, redirects to Host with same URL with https schema; otherwise does nothing. This middleware is useful when a service is deployed behind a load balancer which does not support such redirect feature, e.g. Heroku.

object Jsonp

Middleware to support wrapping json responses in jsonp.

Middleware to support wrapping json responses in jsonp.

Jsonp wrapping occurs when the request contains a parameter with the given name and the request Content-Type is application/json.

If the wrapping is done, the response Content-Type is changed into application/javascript and the appropriate jsonp callback is applied.

object Logger

Simple Middleware for Logging All Requests and Responses

object Metrics

Server middleware to record metrics for the http4s server.

Server middleware to record metrics for the http4s server.

This middleware will record:

  • Number of active requests
  • Time duration to send the response headers
  • Time duration to send the whole response body
  • Time duration of errors and other abnormal terminations

This middleware can be extended to support any metrics ecosystem by implementing the org.http4s.metrics.MetricsOps type

Middleware for lifting application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies into the request query params.

Middleware for lifting application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies into the request query params.

The params are merged into the existing paras after the existing query params. This means that if the query already contains the pair "foo" -> Some("bar"), parameters on the body must be acessed through multiParams.

object VirtualHost

Middleware for virtual host mapping

Middleware for virtual host mapping

The VirtualHost middleware allows multiple services to be mapped based on the org.http4s.headers.Host header of the org.http4s.Request.
