Run SWI-Prolog HTTP server as a Unix system daemon

This module provides the logic that is needed to integrate a process into the Unix service (daemon) architecture. It deals with the following aspects, all of which may be used/ignored and configured using commandline options:

The typical use scenario is to write a file that loads the following components:

  1. The application code, including http handlers (see http_handler/3).
  2. This library

In the code below, ?- [load]. loads the remainder of the webserver code. This is often a sequence of use_module/1 directives.

:- use_module(library(http/http_unix_daemon)).

:- [load].

The program entry point is http_daemon/0, declared using initialization/2. This main be overruled using a new declaration after loading this library. The new entry point will typically call http_daemon/1 to start the server in a preconfigured way.

:- use_module(library(http/http_unix_daemon)).
:- initialization(run, main).

run :-
    ...
    http_daemon(Options).

Now, the server may be started using the command below. See http_daemon/0 for supported options.

% [sudo] swipl mainfile.pl [option ...]

Below are some examples. Our first example is completely silent, running on port 80 as user www.

% swipl mainfile.pl --user=www --pidfile=/var/run/http.pid

Our second example logs HTTP interaction with the syslog daemon for debugging purposes. Note that the argument to --debug= is a Prolog term and must often be escaped to avoid misinterpretation by the Unix shell. The debug option can be repeated to log multiple debug topics.

% swipl mainfile.pl --user=www --pidfile=/var/run/http.pid \
        --debug='http(request)' --syslog=http

Broadcasting The library uses broadcast/1 to allow hooking certain events:

http(pre_server_start)
Run after fork, just before starting the HTTP server. Can be used to load additional files or perform additional initialisation, such as starting additional threads. Recall that it is not possible to start threads before forking.
http(post_server_start)
Run after starting the HTTP server.

To be done
- Cleanup issues wrt. loading and initialization of xpce.
  155:- debug(daemon).  156
  157% Do not run xpce in a thread. This disables forking. The problem here
  158% is that loading library(pce) starts the event dispatching thread. This
  159% should be handled lazily.

  161:- set_prolog_flag(xpce_threaded, false).  162:- set_prolog_flag(message_ide,   false). % cause xpce to trap messages
  163:- dynamic interactive/0.
 http_daemon
Start the HTTP server as a daemon process. This predicate processes the commandline arguments below. Commandline arguments that specify servers are processed in the order they appear using the following schema:
  1. Arguments that act as default for all servers.
  2. --http=Spec or --https=Spec is followed by arguments for that server until the next --http=Spec or --https=Spec or the end of the options.
  3. If no --http=Spec or --https=Spec appears, one HTTP server is created from the specified parameters.

    Examples:

    --workers=10 --http --https
    --http=8080 --https=8443
    --http=localhost:8080 --workers=1 --https=8443 --workers=25
--port=Port
Start HTTP server at Port. It requires root permission and the option --user=User to open ports below 1000. The default port is 80. If --https is used, the default port is 443.
--ip=IP
Only listen to the given IP address. Typically used as --ip=localhost to restrict access to connections from localhost if the server itself is behind an (Apache) proxy server running on the same host.
--debug=Topic
Enable debugging Topic. See debug/3.
--syslog=Ident
Write debug messages to the syslog daemon using Ident
--user=User
When started as root to open a port below 1000, this option must be provided to switch to the target user for operating the server. The following actions are performed as root, i.e., before switching to User:
  • open the socket(s)
  • write the pidfile
  • setup syslog interaction
  • Read the certificate, key and password file (--pwfile=File)
--group=Group
May be used in addition to --user. If omitted, the login group of the target user is used.
--pidfile=File
Write the PID of the daemon process to File.
--output=File
Send output of the process to File. By default, all Prolog console output is discarded.
--fork[=Bool]
If given as --no-fork or --fork=false, the process runs in the foreground.
--http[=(Bool|Port|BindTo:Port)]
Create a plain HTTP server. If the argument is missing or true, create at the specified or default address. Else use the given port and interface. Thus, --http creates a server at port 80, --http=8080 creates one at port 8080 and --http=localhost:8080 creates one at port 8080 that is only accessible from localhost.
--https[=(Bool|Port|BindTo:Port)]
As --http, but creates an HTTPS server. Use --certfile, --keyfile, -pwfile, --password and --cipherlist to configure SSL for this server.
--certfile=File
The server certificate for HTTPS.
--keyfile=File
The server private key for HTTPS.
--pwfile=File
File holding the password for accessing the private key. This is preferred over using --password=PW as it allows using file protection to avoid leaking the password. The file is read before the server drops privileges when started with the --user option.
--password=PW
The password for accessing the private key. See also `--pwfile`.
--cipherlist=Ciphers
One or more cipher strings separated by colons. See the OpenSSL documentation for more information. Starting with SWI-Prolog 7.5.11, the default value is always a set of ciphers that was considered secure enough to prevent all critical attacks at the time of the SWI-Prolog release.
--interactive[=Bool]
If true (default false) implies --no-fork and presents the Prolog toplevel after starting the server.
--gtrace=[Bool]
Use the debugger to trace http_daemon/1.
--sighup=Action
Action to perform on kill -HUP <pid>. Default is reload (running make/0). Alternative is quit, stopping the server.

Other options are converted by argv_options/3 and passed to http_server/1. For example, this allows for:

--workers=Count
Set the number of workers for the multi-threaded server.

http_daemon/0 is defined as below. The start code for a specific server can use this as a starting point, for example for specifying defaults.

http_daemon :-
    current_prolog_flag(argv, Argv),
    argv_options(Argv, _RestArgv, Options),
    http_daemon(Options).

  299    argv_options(Argv, _RestArgv, Options),

 http_daemon(+Options)
Start the HTTP server as a daemon process. This predicate processes a Prolog option list. It is normally called from http_daemon/0, which derives the option list from the command line arguments.

Error handling depends on whether or not interactive(true) is in effect. If so, the error is printed before entering the toplevel. In non-interactive mode this predicate calls halt(1).

  313    catch(http_daemon_guarded(Options), Error, start_failed(Error)).

 option_servers(+Options, -Sockets:list)
Find all sockets that must be created according to Options. Each socket is a term server(Scheme, Address, Opts), where Address is either a plain port (integer) or Host:Port. The latter binds the port to the interface belonging to Host. For example: socket(http, localhost:8080, Opts) creates an HTTP socket that binds to the localhost interface on port 80. Opts are the options specific for the given server.

Results from just passing --redirect. Redirects to an HTTPS server in the same Prolog process.

 http_server_hook(+Options) is semidet
Hook that is called to start the HTTP server. This hook must be compatible to http_server(Handler, Options). The default is provided by start_server/1.
 http:sni_options(-HostName, -SSLOptions) is multi
Hook to provide Server Name Indication (SNI) for TLS servers. When starting an HTTPS server, all solutions of this predicate are collected and a suitable sni_hook/1 is defined for ssl_context/3 to use different contexts depending on the host name of the client request. This hook is executed before privileges are dropped.
