Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI(3)

Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI - Configurable URIs for Catalyst

In your lib/MyApp.pm, load the plugin and your other plugins, for example:

    use Catalyst qw/
        -Debug
        ConfigLoader
        Static::Simple
        Session
        Session::Store::Memcached
        Session::State::Cookie
        Authentication
        Authorization::Roles
        +CatalystX::SimpleLogin
        SmartURI
    /;

In your .conf:

    <Plugin::SmartURI>
        disposition host-header   # application-wide
        uri_class   URI::SmartURI # by default
    </Plugin::SmartURI>

Per request:

    $c->uri_disposition('absolute');

Methods on URIs:

    <a href="[% c.uri_for('/foo').relative %]" ...

Configure whether "$c->uri_for" and "$c->req->uri_with" return absolute, hostless or relative URIs, or URIs based on the 'Host' header. Also allows configuring which URI class to use. Works on application-wide or per-request basis.

This is useful in situations where you're for example, redirecting to a lighttpd from a firewall rule, instead of a real proxy, and you want your links and redirects to still work correctly.

To use your own URI class, just subclass URI::SmartURI and set "uri_class", or write a class that follows the same interface.

This plugin installs a custom "$c->request_class", however it does so in a way that won't break if you've already set "$c->request_class" yourself, ie. by using Catalyst::Action::REST (thanks mst!).

There is a minor performance penalty in perls older than 5.10, due to Class::C3, but only at initialization time.

Returns a "$c->uri_class" object (URI::SmartURI by default) in the configured "$c->uri_disposition".

Returns a "$c->uri_class" object. If the context hasn't been prepared yet, uses the configured value for "uri_class".

"$c->req->uri->relative" will be relative to "$c->req->base".

Returns a "$c->uri_class" object for the referer (or configured "uri_class" if there's no context) with reference set to "$c->req->uri" if it comes from "$c->req->base".

In other words, if referer is your app, you can do "$c->req->referer->relative" and it will do the right thing.

In myapp.conf:

    <Plugin::SmartURI>
        disposition absolute
        uri_class   URI::SmartURI
    </Plugin::SmartURI>
disposition
One of 'absolute', 'hostless', 'relative' or 'host-header'. Defaults to 'absolute'.

The special disposition 'host-header' uses the value of your 'Host:' header.

uri_class
The class to use for URIs, defaults to URI::SmartURI.

    package MyAPP::Controller::RSSFeed;

    ...

    sub begin : Private {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;

        $c->uri_class('Your::URI::Class::For::Request');
        $c->uri_disposition('absolute');
    }
$c->uri_disposition('absolute'|'hostless'|'relative'|'host-header')
Set URI disposition to use for the duration of the request.
$c->uri_class($class)
Set the URI class to use for "$c->uri_for" and "$c->req->uri_with" for the duration of the request.

"$c->prepare_uri" actually creates the URI, which you can override.

from #catalyst:

vipul came up with the idea

mst came up with the design and implementation details for the current version

kd reviewed my code and offered suggestions

I'd like to extend on Catalyst::Plugin::RequireSSL, and make a plugin that rewrites URIs for actions with an SSL attribute.
