Public Instance Methods

best_q_match (q_value_header, available_mimes)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 166
def best_q_match(q_value_header, available_mimes)
  values = q_values(q_value_header)

  matches = values.map do |req_mime, quality|
    match = available_mimes.find { |am| Rack::Mime.match?(am, req_mime) }
    next unless match
    [match, quality]
  end.compact.sort_by do |match, quality|
    (match.split('/', 2).count('*') * -10) + quality
  end.last
  matches&.first
end

Return best accept value to use, based on the algorithm in RFC 2616 Section 14. If there are multiple best matches (same specificity and quality), the value returned is arbitrary.

build_nested_query (value, prefix = nil)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 119
def build_nested_query(value, prefix = nil)
  case value
  when Array
    value.map { |v|
      build_nested_query(v, "#{prefix}[]")
    }.join("&")
  when Hash
    value.map { |k, v|
      build_nested_query(v, prefix ? "#{prefix}[#{k}]" : k)
    }.delete_if(&:empty?).join('&')
  when nil
    escape(prefix)
  else
    raise ArgumentError, "value must be a Hash" if prefix.nil?
    "#{escape(prefix)}=#{escape(value)}"
  end
end

build_query (params)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 109
def build_query(params)
  params.map { |k, v|
    if v.class == Array
      build_query(v.map { |x| [k, x] })
    else
      v.nil? ? escape(k) : "#{escape(k)}=#{escape(v)}"
    end
  }.join("&")
end

byte_ranges (env, size)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 401
def byte_ranges(env, size)
  get_byte_ranges env['HTTP_RANGE'], size
end

Parses the “Range:” header, if present, into an array of Range objects. Returns nil if the header is missing or syntactically invalid. Returns an empty array if none of the ranges are satisfiable.

clean_path_info (path_info)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 599
def clean_path_info(path_info)
  parts = path_info.split PATH_SEPS

  clean = []

  parts.each do |part|
    next if part.empty? || part == '.'
    part == '..' ? clean.pop : clean << part
  end

  clean_path = clean.join(::File::SEPARATOR)
  clean_path.prepend("/") if parts.empty? || parts.first.empty?
  clean_path
end

clock_time ()

delete_cookie_header! (headers, key, value = {})

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 359
def delete_cookie_header!(headers, key, value = {})
  headers[SET_COOKIE] = delete_set_cookie_header!(headers[SET_COOKIE], key, value)

  return nil
end

delete_set_cookie_header(key, value = {}) → encoded string

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 355
def delete_set_cookie_header(key, value = {})
  set_cookie_header(key, value.merge(max_age: '0', expires: Time.at(0), value: ''))
end

Generate an encoded string based on the given key and value using set_cookie_header for the purpose of causing the specified cookie to be deleted. The value may be an instance of Hash and can include attributes as outlined by set_cookie_header. The encoded cookie will have a max_age of 0 seconds, an expires date in the past and an empty value. When used with the set-cookie header, it will cause the client to remove any matching cookie.

delete_set_cookie_header("myname")
# => "myname=; max-age=0; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"

delete_set_cookie_header!(header, key, value = {}) → header value

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 383
def delete_set_cookie_header!(header, key, value = {})
  if header
    header = Array(header)
    header << delete_set_cookie_header(key, value)
  else
    header = delete_set_cookie_header(key, value)
  end

  return header
end

Set an expired cookie in the specified headers with the given cookie key and value using delete_set_cookie_header. This causes the client to immediately delete the specified cookie.

delete_set_cookie_header!(nil, "mycookie")
# => "mycookie=; max-age=0; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"

If the header is non-nil, it will be modified in place.

header = []
delete_set_cookie_header!(header, "mycookie")
# => ["mycookie=; max-age=0; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"]
header
# => ["mycookie=; max-age=0; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"]

escape (s)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 39
def escape(s)
  URI.encode_www_form_component(s)
end

URI escapes. (CGI style space to +)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 189
def escape_html(string)
  CGI.escapeHTML(string.to_s)
end

Escape ampersands, brackets and quotes to their HTML/XML entities.

escape_path (s)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 45
def escape_path(s)
  URI_PARSER.escape s
end

Like URI escaping, but with %20 instead of +. Strictly speaking this is true URI escaping.

    range = range_spec.split('-')
    r0, r1 = range[0], range[1]
    if r0.nil? || r0.empty?
      return nil if r1.nil?
      # suffix-byte-range-spec, represents trailing suffix of file
      r0 = size - r1.to_i
      r0 = 0  if r0 < 0
      r1 = size - 1
    else
      r0 = r0.to_i
      if r1.nil?
        r1 = size - 1
      else
        r1 = r1.to_i
        return nil  if r1 < r0  # backwards range is syntactically invalid
        r1 = size - 1  if r1 >= size
      end
    end
    ranges << (r0..r1)  if r0 <= r1
  end

  return [] if ranges.map(&:size).sum > size

  ranges
end

parse_cookies(env) → hash

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 256
def parse_cookies(env)
  parse_cookies_header env[HTTP_COOKIE]
end

Parse cookies from the provided request environment using parse_cookies_header. Returns a map of cookie key to cookie value.

parse_cookies({'HTTP_COOKIE' => 'myname=myvalue'})
# => {'myname' => 'myvalue'}

parse_cookies_header(value) → hash

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 237
def parse_cookies_header(value)
  return {} unless value

  value.split(/; */n).each_with_object({}) do |cookie, cookies|
    next if cookie.empty?
    key, value = cookie.split('=', 2)
    cookies[key] = (unescape(value) rescue value) unless cookies.key?(key)
  end
end

Parse cookies from the provided header value according to RFC6265. The syntax for cookie headers only supports semicolons. Returns a map of cookie key to cookie value.

parse_cookies_header('myname=myvalue; max-age=0')
# => {"myname"=>"myvalue", "max-age"=>"0"}

parse_nested_query (qs, d = nil)

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 105
def parse_nested_query(qs, d = nil)
  Rack::Utils.default_query_parser.parse_nested_query(qs, d)
end

parse_query (qs, d = nil, &unescaper)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 101
def parse_query(qs, d = nil, &unescaper)
  Rack::Utils.default_query_parser.parse_query(qs, d, &unescaper)

  q_value_header.to_s.split(',').map do |part|
    value, parameters = part.split(';', 2).map(&:strip)
    quality = 1.0
    if parameters && (md = /\Aq=([\d.]+)/.match(parameters))
      quality = md[1].to_f
    end
    [value, quality]
  end
end

def secure_compare(a, b)
  return false unless a.bytesize == b.bytesize

  OpenSSL.fixed_length_secure_compare(a, b)
end

Constant time string comparison.

NOTE: the values compared should be of fixed length, such as strings that have already been processed by HMAC. This should not be used on variable length plaintext strings because it could leak length info via timing attacks.

select_best_encoding (available_encodings, accept_encoding)

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 195
def select_best_encoding(available_encodings, accept_encoding)
  # http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

end

Generate an encoded string using the provided key and value suitable for the set-cookie header according to RFC6265. The value may be an instance of either String or Hash. If the cookie key is invalid (as defined by RFC6265), an ArgumentError will be raised.

If the cookie value is an instance of Hash, it considers the following cookie attribute keys: domain, max_age, expires (must be instance of Time), secure, http_only, same_site and value. For more details about the interpretation of these fields, consult [RFC6265 Section 5.2](datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265#section-5.2).

set_cookie_header("myname", "myvalue")
# => "myname=myvalue"

set_cookie_header("myname", {value: "myvalue", max_age: 10})
# => "myname=myvalue; max-age=10"

set_cookie_header!(headers, key, value) → header value

Source

# File lib/rack/utils.rb, line 329
def set_cookie_header!(headers, key, value)

    end
  else
    headers[SET_COOKIE] = set_cookie_header(key, value)
  end
end

Append a cookie in the specified headers with the given cookie key and value using set_cookie_header.

If the headers already contains a set-cookie key, it will be converted to an Array if not already, and appended to.
