HTTPure.Server

type ServerM e = HTTPureM e Unit

The ServerM type simply conveniently wraps up an HTTPure monad that returns a Unit. This type is the return type of the HTTPure serve and related methods.

type SecureServerM e = ServerM (fs :: FS | e)

The SecureServerM type is the same as the ServerM type, but it includes effects for working with the filesystem (to load the key and certificate).

serve :: forall e. Int -> (Request -> ResponseM e) -> ServerM e -> ServerM e

Create and start a server. This is the main entry point for HTTPure. Takes a port number on which to listen, a function mapping Request to ResponseM, and an HTTPureM containing effects to run after the server has booted (usually logging). Returns an HTTPureM containing the server's effects.

serve' :: forall e. Int -> String -> String -> (Request -> ResponseM (fs :: FS | e)) -> SecureServerM e -> SecureServerM e

Create and start an SSL server. This method is the same as serve, but takes additional SSL arguments. The arguments in order are:

1. A port number
2. A path to a cert file
3. A path to a private key file
4. A handler method which maps Request to ResponseM
5. A callback to call when the server is up
