Instance Method Summary (collapse)
-
- (true, false) allow_missing_post?
If the resource accepts POST requests to nonexistent resources, then this should return true.
-
- (Array<String>) allowed_methods
HTTP methods that are allowed on this resource.
-
- (String, ...) base_uri
This will be called after #create_path but before setting the Location response header, and is used to determine the root URI of the new resource.
-
- (nil, Array) charsets_provided
If this is anything other than nil, it must be an array of pairs where each pair is of the form Charset, Converter where Charset is a string naming a charset and Converter is an arity-1 method in the resource which will be called on the produced body in a GET and ensure that it is in Charset.
-
- (Object) content_types_accepted
Similarly to content_types_provided, this should return an array of mediatype/handler pairs, except that it is for incoming resource representations -- for example, PUT requests.
-
- (Object) content_types_provided
This should return an array of pairs where each pair is of the form [mediatype, :handler] where mediatype is a String of Content-Type format and :handler is a Symbol naming the method which can provide a resource representation in that media type.
-
- (String, URI) create_path
This will be called on a POST request if post_is_create? returns true.
-
- (true, false) delete_completed?
This method is called after a successful call to #delete_resource and should return false if the deletion was accepted but cannot yet be guaranteed to have finished.
-
- (true, false) delete_resource
This method is called when a DELETE request should be enacted, and should return true if the deletion succeeded.
-
- (Hash) encodings_provided
This should return a hash of encodings mapped to encoding methods for Content-Encodings your resource wants to provide.
-
- (Time, ...) expires
If the resource expires, this method should return the date/time it expires.
-
- (Object) finish_request
This method is called just before the final response is constructed and sent.
-
- (true, false) forbidden?
Is the request or client forbidden? Returning a truthy value (true or non-nil) will result in a '403 Forbidden' response.
-
- (String?) generate_etag
If this returns a value, it will be used as the value of the ETag header and for comparison in conditional requests.
-
- (true, ...) is_authorized?(authorization_header = nil)
Is the client or request authorized? Returning anything other than true will result in a '401 Unauthorized' response.
-
- (true, false) is_conflict?
If this returns true, the client will receive a '409 Conflict' response.
-
- (true, false) known_content_type?(content_type = nil)
If the Content-Type on PUT or POST is unknown, this should return false, which will result in a '415 Unsupported Media Type' response.
-
- (Array<String>) known_methods
HTTP methods that are known to the resource.
-
- (true, false) language_available?(accept_lang)
This should return true or false if the requested language(s) is available.
-
- (Time, ...) last_modified
This method should return the last modified date/time of the resource which will be added as the Last-Modified header in the response and used in negotiating conditional requests.
-
- (true, false) malformed_request?
If the request is malformed, this should return true, which will result in a '400 Malformed Request' response.
-
- (String, ...) moved_permanently?
If this resource has moved to a new location permanently, this method should return the new location as a String or URI.
-
- (String, ...) moved_temporarily?
If this resource has moved to a new location temporarily, this method should return the new location as a String or URI.
-
- (true, false) multiple_choices?
If this returns true, then it is assumed that multiple representations of the response are possible and a single one cannot be automatically chosen, so a 300 Multiple Choices will be sent instead of a 200.
-
- (Hash) options
If the OPTIONS method is supported and is used, this method should return a Hash of headers that should appear in the response.
-
- (true, false) post_is_create?
If POST requests should be treated as a request to put content into a (potentially new) resource as opposed to a generic submission for processing, then this method should return true.
-
- (true, false) previously_existed?
If this resource is known to have existed previously, this method should return true.
-
- (true, ...) process_post
If post_is_create? returns false, then this will be called to process any POST request.
-
- (true, false) resource_exists?
Does the resource exist? Returning a falsey value (false or nil) will result in a '404 Not Found' response.
-
- (true, false) service_available?
Is the resource available? Returning a falsey value (false or nil) will result in a '503 Service Not Available' response.
-
- (true, false) uri_too_long?(uri = nil)
If the URI is too long to be processed, this should return true, which will result in a '414 Request URI Too Long' response.
-
- (true, false) valid_content_headers?(content_headers = nil)
If the request includes any invalid Content-* headers, this should return false, which will result in a '501 Not Implemented' response.
-
- (true, false) valid_entity_length?(length = nil)
If the entity length on PUT or POST is invalid, this should return false, which will result in a '413 Request Entity Too Large' response.
-
- (true, ...) validate_content_checksum
This method is called when verifying the Content-MD5 header against the request body.
-
- (Array<String>) variances
If this method is implemented, it should return a list of strings with header names that should be included in a given response's Vary header.
Instance Method Details
- (true, false) allow_missing_post?
If the resource accepts POST requests to nonexistent resources, then this should return true. Defaults to false.

# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 51 def allow_missing_post? false end |
- (Array<String>) allowed_methods
HTTP methods that are allowed on this resource. This must return an Array of Strings in all capitals. Defaults to ['GET','HEAD'].
121 122 123 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 121 def allowed_methods ['GET', 'HEAD'] end |
- (String, ...) base_uri
This will be called after #create_path but before setting the Location response header, and is used to determine the root URI of the new resource. Default is nil, which uses the URI of the request as the base.
183 184 185 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 183 def base_uri nil end |
- (nil, Array) charsets_provided
If this is anything other than nil, it must be an array of pairs where each pair is of the form Charset, Converter where Charset is a string naming a charset and Converter is an arity-1 method in the resource which will be called on the produced body in a GET and ensure that it is in Charset.
229 230 231 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 229 def charsets_provided nil end |
- (Object) content_types_accepted
Similarly to content_types_provided, this should return an array of mediatype/handler pairs, except that it is for incoming resource representations -- for example, PUT requests. Handler functions usually want to use Webmachine::Request#body to access the incoming entity.
217 218 219 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 217 def content_types_accepted [] end |
- (Object) content_types_provided
This should return an array of pairs where each pair is of the form [mediatype, :handler] where mediatype is a String of Content-Type format and :handler is a Symbol naming the method which can provide a resource representation in that media type. For example, if a client request includes an 'Accept' header with a value that does not appear as a first element in any of the return pairs, then a '406 Not Acceptable' will be sent. Default is [['text/html', :to_html]].
206 207 208 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 206 def content_types_provided [['text/html', :to_html]] end |
- (String, URI) create_path
This will be called on a POST request if post_is_create? returns true. The path returned should be a valid URI part following the dispatcher prefix. That path will replace the previous one in the return value of Webmachine::Request#disp_path for all subsequent resource function calls in the course of this request.
173 174 175 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 173 def create_path nil end |
- (true, false) delete_completed?
This method is called after a successful call to #delete_resource and should return false if the deletion was accepted but cannot yet be guaranteed to have finished. Defaults to true.
150 151 152 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 150 def delete_completed? true end |
- (true, false) delete_resource
This method is called when a DELETE request should be enacted, and should return true if the deletion succeeded. Defaults to false.
140 141 142 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 140 def delete_resource false end |
- (Hash) encodings_provided
This should return a hash of encodings mapped to encoding methods for Content-Encodings your resource wants to provide. The encoding will be applied to the response body automatically by Webmachine.

250 251 252 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 250 def encodings_provided {"identity" => :encode_identity } end |
- (Time, ...) expires
If the resource expires, this method should return the date/time it expires. Default is nil.
329 330 331 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 329 def expires nil end |
- (Object) finish_request
This method is called just before the final response is constructed and sent. The return value is ignored, so any effect of this method must be by modifying the response.
346 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 346 def finish_request; end |
- (true, false) forbidden?
Is the request or client forbidden? Returning a truthy value (true or non-nil) will result in a '403 Forbidden' response. Defaults to false.

Is the client or request authorized? Returning anything other than true will result in a '401 Unauthorized' response. Defaults to true. If a String is returned, it will be used as the value in the WWW-Authenticate header, which can also be set manually.
33 34 35 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 33 def ( = nil) true end |
- (true, false) is_conflict?
If this returns true, the client will receive a '409 Conflict' response. This is only called for PUT requests. Default is false.
272 273 274 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 272 def is_conflict? false end |
- (true, false) known_content_type?(content_type = nil)
If the Content-Type on PUT or POST is unknown, this should return false, which will result in a '415 Unsupported Media Type' response. Defaults to true.

# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 237 def language_available?(accept_lang) true end |
- (Time, ...) last_modified
This method should return the last modified date/time of the resource which will be added as the Last-Modified header in the response and used in negotiating conditional requests. Default is nil.
321 322 323 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 321 def last_modified nil end |

- (true, false) multiple_choices?
If this returns true, then it is assumed that multiple representations of the response are possible and a single one cannot be automatically chosen, so a 300 Multiple Choices will be sent instead of a 200. Default is false.
283 284 285 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 283 def multiple_choices? false end |
- (Hash) options
If the OPTIONS method is supported and is used, this method should return a Hash of headers that should appear in the response. Defaults to {}.
113 114 115 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 113 def {} end |
- (true, false) post_is_create?
If POST requests should be treated as a request to put content into a (potentially new) resource as opposed to a generic submission for processing, then this method should return true. If it does return true, then #create_path will be called and the rest of the request will be treated much like a PUT to the path returned by that call. Default is false.
162 163 164 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 162 def post_is_create? false end |
- (true, false) previously_existed?
If this resource is known to have existed previously, this method should return true. Default is false.
291 292 293 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 291 def previously_existed? false end |
- (true, ...) process_post
If post_is_create? returns false, then this will be called to process any POST request. If it succeeds, it should return true.
192 193 194 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 192 def process_post false end |

9 10 11 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 9 def resource_exists? true end |
- (true, false) service_available?
Is the resource available? Returning a falsey value (false or nil) will result in a '503 Service Not Available' response. Defaults to true. If the resource is only temporarily not available, add a 'Retry-After' response header in the body of the method.
20 21 22 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 20 def service_available? true end |
- (true, false) uri_too_long?(uri = nil)
If the URI is too long to be processed, this should return true, which will result in a '414 Request URI Too Long' response. Defaults to false.
69 70 71 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 69 def uri_too_long?(uri = nil) false end |
- (true, false) valid_content_headers?(content_headers = nil)
If the request includes any invalid Content-* headers, this should return false, which will result in a '501 Not Implemented' response. Defaults to false.
93 94 95 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 93 def valid_content_headers?(content_headers = nil) true end |
- (true, false) valid_entity_length?(length = nil)
If the entity length on PUT or POST is invalid, this should return false, which will result in a '413 Request Entity Too Large' response. Defaults to true.
104 105 106 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 104 def valid_entity_length?(length = nil) true end |
- (true, ...) validate_content_checksum
This method is called when verifying the Content-MD5 header against the request body. To do your own validation, implement it in this callback, returning true or false. To bypass header validation, simply return false. Default is nil, which will invoke Webmachine's default validation.
356 357 358 |
# File 'lib/webmachine/resource/callbacks.rb', line 356 def validate_content_checksum nil end |
- (Array<String>) variances
If this method is implemented, it should return a list of strings with header names that should be included in a given response's Vary header. The standard conneg headers (Accept, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Charset, Accept-Language) do not need to be specified here as Webmachine will add the correct elements of those automatically depending on resource behavior. Default is [].
