 http_set_session_options(+Options) is det

Set options for the session library. Provided options are:

timeout(+Seconds)

Session timeout in seconds. Default is 600 (10 min). A timeout of 0 (zero) disables timeout.

cookie(+Cookiekname)

Name to use for the cookie to identify the session. Default swipl_session.

path(+Path)

Path to which the cookie is associated. Default is /. Cookies are only sent if the HTTP request path is a refinement of Path.

route(+Route)

Set the route name. Default is the unqualified hostname. To cancel adding a route, use the empty atom. See route/1.

enabled(+Boolean)

Enable/disable session management. Session management is enabled by default after loading this file.

create(+Atom)

Defines when a session is created. This is one of auto (default), which creates a session if there is a request whose path matches the defined session path or noauto, in which cases sessions are only created by calling http_open_session/2 explicitly.

proxy_enabled(+Boolean)

Enable/disable proxy session management. Proxy session management associates the originating IP address of the client to the session rather than the proxy IP address. Default is false.

gc(+When)

When is one of active, which starts a thread that performs session cleanup at close to the moment of the timeout or passive, which runs session GC when a new session is created.

samesite(+Restriction)

One of none, lax (default), or strict - The SameSite attribute prevents the CSRF vulnerability. strict has best security, but prevents links from external sites from operating properly. lax stops most CSRF attacks against REST endpoints but rarely interferes with legit image operations. none removes the samesite attribute entirely. __Caution: The value none exposes the entire site to CSRF attacks.

granularity(+Integer)

Granularity for updating that the session is active. Default is 60 (seconds). Smaller values lead to more precise session timeout at the cost of more database updates. This may notably a problem when using Redis.

In addition, extension libraries can define session_option/2 to make this predicate support more options. In particular, library(http/http_redis_plugin) defines the following additional options:

redis_db(+DB)

Alias name of the redis database to access. See redis_server/3.

redis_ro(+DB)

Alias name of the redis database for read-only access. See redis_server/3.

redis_prefix(+Atom)

Prefix to use for all HTTP session related keys. Default is 'swipl:http:session'

 http_session_id(-SessionId) is det

True if SessionId is an identifier for the current session.

Arguments:

SessionId

- is an atom.

Errors

- existence_error(http_session, _)

See also

- http_in_session/1 for a version that fails if there is no session.

  325http_session_id(SessionID) :-
  326    (   http_in_session(ID)
  327    ->  SessionID = ID
  328    ;   throw(error(existence_error(http_session, _), _))
  329    ).

 http_in_session(-SessionId) is semidet

True if SessionId is an identifier for the current session. The current session is extracted from session(ID) from the current HTTP request (see http_current_request/1). The value is cached in a backtrackable global variable http_session_id. Using a backtrackable global variable is safe because continuous worker threads use a failure driven loop and spawned threads start without any global variables. This variable can be set from the commandline to fake running a goal from the commandline in the context of a session.

 http_session(+RequestIn, -RequestOut, -SessionID) is semidet

Maintain the notion of a session using a client-side cookie. This must be called first when handling a request that wishes to do session management, after which the possibly modified request must be used for further processing.

This predicate creates a session if the setting create is auto. If create is noauto, the application must call http_open_session/1 to create a session.

  422    open_session(SessionID, Peer).

 http_open_session(-SessionID, +Options) is det

Establish a new session. This is normally used if the create option is set to noauto. Options:

renew(+Boolean)

If true (default false) and the current request is part of a session, generate a new session-id. By default, this predicate returns the current session as obtained with http_in_session/1.

Errors

- permission_error(open, http_session, CGI) if this call is used after closing the CGI header.

See also

- http_set_session_options/1 to control the create option.

- http_close_session/1 for closing the session.

 http_close_session(+SessionID) is det

Closes an HTTP session. This predicate can be called from any thread to terminate a session. It uses the broadcast/1 service with the message below.

http_session(end(SessionId, Peer))

The broadcast is done before the session data is destroyed and the listen-handlers are executed in context of the session that is being closed. Here is an example that destroys a Prolog thread that is associated to a thread:

:- listen(http_session(end(SessionId, _Peer)),
          kill_session_thread(SessionID)).

kill_session_thread(SessionID) :-
        http_session_data(thread(ThreadID)),
        thread_signal(ThreadID, throw(session_closed)).

Succeed without any effect if SessionID does not refer to an active session.

If http_close_session/1 is called from a handler operating in the current session and the CGI stream is still in state header, this predicate emits a Set-Cookie to expire the cookie.

Errors

- type_error(atom, SessionID)
