This library % is intended to provide access for debugging and management of % embedded servers. % % Currently defined options are: % % - allow(IPOrList) % Allow access from IP, a term of the format ip(A,B,C,D), (IPv4) % or ip(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) (IPv6). Access is granted if the % `Peer` address as returned by tcp_accept/3 _unifies_ with % IPOrList or, if IPOrList is a list, with a member of this list. % If no allow option is provided access is only granted from % ip(127,0,0,1) (localhost).
% __note__ Older versions allowed for repeating this option rather % than providing a list. % % For example: % % ``` % ?- prolog_server(4000, []). % % % ncat localhost 4000 % Welcome to the SWI-Prolog server on thread client@127.0.0.1 % % 1 ?- % ``` % % @bug As the connection does not involve a terminal, command % history and completion are not provided. Neither are interrupts % (Control-C). The Prolog shell can be terminated if `netcat` shuts % down the socket on ^D (using the `-N` option). Otherwise one must % enter the command "end_of_file." % @see The add-on `libssh` provides an embedded SSH server. This % provides encryption as well as a _pseudo terminal_, providing % full commandline editing, history and interrupt processing. prolog_server(Port, Options) :- tcp_socket(ServerSocket), tcp_setopt(ServerSocket, reuseaddr), tcp_bind(ServerSocket, Port), tcp_listen(ServerSocket, 5), thread_create(server_loop(ServerSocket, Options), _, [ alias(prolog_server) ]). server_loop(ServerSocket, Options) :- tcp_accept(ServerSocket, Slave, Peer), tcp_open_socket(Slave, InStream, OutStream), set_stream(InStream, close_on_abort(false)), set_stream(OutStream, close_on_abort(false)), catch(tcp_host_to_address(Host, Peer), error(socket_error(_,_),_), ip_name(Peer, Host)), ( Postfix = [] ; between(2, 1000, Num), Postfix = [-, Num] ), atomic_list_concat(['client@', Host | Postfix], Alias), catch(thread_create( service_client(InStream, OutStream, Peer, Options), _, [ alias(Alias), detached(true) ]), error(permission_error(create, thread, Alias), _), fail), !, server_loop(ServerSocket, Options). service_client(InStream, OutStream, Peer, Options) :- allow(Peer, Options), !, thread_self(Id), set_prolog_IO(InStream, OutStream, OutStream), set_stream(InStream, tty(true)), set_prolog_flag(tty_control, false), current_prolog_flag(encoding, Enc), set_stream(user_input, encoding(Enc)), set_stream(user_output, encoding(Enc)), set_stream(user_error, encoding(Enc)), set_stream(user_input, newline(detect)), set_stream(user_output, newline(dos)), set_stream(user_error, newline(dos)), format(user_error, 'Welcome to the SWI-Prolog server on thread ~w~n~n', [Id]), call_cleanup(prolog, ( close(InStream, [force(true)]), close(OutStream, [force(true)]))). service_client(InStream, OutStream, _, _):- thread_self(Id), format(OutStream, 'Go away!!~n', []), close(InStream), close(OutStream), thread_detach(Id). allow(Peer, Options) :- ( option(allow(Allow), Options) -> ( is_list(Allow) -> memberchk(Peer, Allow) ; Peer = Allow ) ; Peer = ip(127,0,0,1) ).
