http

http is a module to provide HTTP client and server implementations.

Server

Server APIs utilizing Deno's HTTP server APIs.

import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/http/server.ts";

serve(() => new Response("Hello World\n"));

console.log("http://localhost:8000/");

File Server

A small program for serving local files over HTTP.

deno run --allow-net --allow-read https://deno.land/std/http/file_server.ts
> HTTP server listening on http://localhost:4507/

HTTP Status Code and Status Text

Helper for processing status code and status text.

import {
  Status,
  STATUS_TEXT,
} from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/http/http_status.ts";

console.log(Status.NotFound); //=> 404
console.log(STATUS_TEXT.get(Status.NotFound)); //=> "Not Found"

Cookie

Helpers to manipulate the Cookie header.

getCookies

import { getCookies } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/http/cookie.ts";

const headers = new Headers();
headers.set("Cookie", "full=of; tasty=chocolate");

const cookies = getCookies(headers);
console.log(cookies); // { full: "of", tasty: "chocolate" }

setCookie

import {
  Cookie,
  setCookie,
} from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/http/cookie.ts";

const headers = new Headers();
const cookie: Cookie = { name: "Space", value: "Cat" };
setCookie(headers, cookie);

const cookieHeader = headers.get("set-cookie");
console.log(cookieHeader); // Space=Cat

deleteCookie

Note: Deleting a Cookie will set its expiration date before now. Forcing the browser to delete it.

import { deleteCookie } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/http/cookie.ts";

const headers = new Headers();
deleteCookie(headers, "deno");

const cookieHeader = headers.get("set-cookie");
console.log(cookieHeader); // deno=; Expires=Thus, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

Note: It is possible to pass the exact same path and domain attributes that were used to set the cookie.

import { deleteCookie } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/http/cookie.ts";

const headers = new Headers();
deleteCookie(headers, "deno", { path: "/", domain: "deno.land" });

Note: At the moment multiple Set-Cookie in a Response is not handled.
