Subject: Parsing non-nested requests
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:43:59 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cb6e445a-a815-45d2-8ae7-cc93921006f5@p5g2000pre.googlegroups.com> (raw)


I have run into situations where I'd like to parse requests in an non-
nested fashion.  Rack::Request almost lets you do this, but not
quite.  I propose the changes in this commit:

  http://github.com/bahuvrihi/rack/commit/fa29dc523a0994a85686b01a192d3ccbfb36c183

The commit refactors Rack::Request so that the parsing methods for
query strings and multipart data may be overridden.  Then for non-
multipart data I think everything is fine; you would simply subclass
Request and call Utils.parse_query instead of
Utils.parse_nested_query.

Multipart data requires a little patch though because as far as I can
tell Multipart.parse_multipart parses nested queries and you can't get
around that.  I also propose the changes in this commit:

  http://github.com/bahuvrihi/rack/commit/d6a2a162651c8068822a9370fe66eeb709a5d69c

The commit adds a flag to parse_multipart to allow non-nested
parsing.  The flag is a little inelegant, but at least it's backwards
compatible.  A more elegant solution would be to have parse_multipart
and parse_nested_multipart, but that would be bad for anyone that
expects the current behavior.

Any thoughts?
