Builds an IVLE request object from a mod_python request object.
24
See design notes/apps/dispatch.txt for a full specification of this request
29
from mod_python import (util, Session, Cookie)
34
import plugins.console # XXX: Relies on www/ being in the Python path.
37
"""An IVLE request object. This is presented to the IVLE apps as a way of
38
interacting with the web server and the dispatcher.
40
Request object attributes:
42
String. The request method (eg. 'GET', 'POST', etc)
44
String. The path portion of the URI.
46
String. Name of the application specified in the URL, or None.
48
String. The path specified in the URL *not including* the
49
application or the IVLE location prefix. eg. a URL of
50
"/ivle/files/joe/myfiles" has a path of "joe/myfiles".
52
User object. Details of the user who is currently logged in, or
55
storm.store.Store instance. Holds a database transaction open,
56
which is available for the entire lifetime of the request.
58
String. Hostname the server is running on.
60
Table object representing headers sent by the client.
61
headers_out (read, can be written to)
62
Table object representing headers to be sent to the client.
64
Bool. True if the request came for the "public host" as
65
configured in conf.py. Note that public mode requests do not
66
have an app (app is set to None).
69
Int. Response status number. Use one of the status codes defined
72
String. The Content-Type (mime type) header value.
74
String. Response "Location" header value. Used with HTTP redirect
77
String. HTML page title. Used if write_html_head_foot is True, in
78
the HTML title element text.
80
List of strings. Write a list of URLs to CSS files here, and they
81
will be incorporated as <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
82
elements in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.
83
URLs should be relative to the IVLE root; they will be fixed up
86
List of strings. Write a list of URLs to JS files here, and they
87
will be incorporated as <script type="text/javascript"> elements
88
in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.
89
URLs should be relative to the IVLE root; they will be fixed up
92
List of strings. Write a list of JS function names, and they
93
will be added as window.addListener('load', ..., false); calls
94
in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.
95
This is the propper way to specify functions that need to run at
97
write_html_head_foot (write)
98
Boolean. If True, dispatch assumes that this is an XHTML page, and
99
will immediately write a full HTML head, open the body element,
100
and write heading contents to the page, before any bytes are
101
written. It will then write footer contents and close the body and
102
html elements at the end of execution.
104
This value should be set to true by all applications for all HTML
105
output (unless there is a good reason, eg. exec). The
106
applications should therefore output HTML content assuming that
107
it will be written inside the body tag. Do not write opening or
108
closing <html> or <body> tags.
