Overview ¶
Package middleware provides helpful functions that implement some common functionalities in http servers. A middleware is a function that takes in a http.Handler as one of its arguments and returns a http.Handler
The middlewares All, Get, Post, Head, Put & Delete wrap other internal middleware. The effect of this is that the aforementioned middleware, in addition to their specialised functionality, will:
- Add logID for traceability.
- Add the "real" client IP address to the request context.
- Add client TLS fingerprint to the request context.
- Recover from panics in the wrappedHandler.
- Log http requests and responses.
- Try and prevent path traversal attack.
- Rate limit requests by IP address.
- Shed load based on http response latencies.
- Handle automatic procurement/renewal of ACME tls certificates.
- Redirect http requests to https.
- Add some important HTTP security headers and assign them sensible default values.
- Implement Cross-Origin Resource Sharing support(CORS).
- Provide protection against Cross Site Request Forgeries(CSRF).
- Attempt to provide protection against form re-submission when a user reloads an already submitted web form.
- Implement http sessions.
Example (GetCspNonce) ¶
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"net/http"
"os"
"github.com/komuw/ong/config"
"github.com/komuw/ong/log"
"github.com/komuw/ong/middleware"
)
func loginHandler() http.HandlerFunc {
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
cspNonce := middleware.GetCspNonce(r.Context())
_ = cspNonce
_, _ = fmt.Fprint(w, "welcome to your favorite website.")
}
}
func main() {
l := log.New(context.Background(), os.Stdout, 100)
handler := middleware.Get(
loginHandler(),
config.WithOpts("example.com", 443, "super-h@rd-Pas1word", config.DirectIpStrategy, l),
)
_ = handler // use handler
}
Example (GetCsrfToken) ¶
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"net/http"
"os"
"github.com/komuw/ong/config"
"github.com/komuw/ong/log"
"github.com/komuw/ong/middleware"
)
func welcomeHandler() http.HandlerFunc {
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
csrfToken := middleware.GetCsrfToken(r.Context())
_ = csrfToken
_, _ = fmt.Fprint(w, "welcome.")
}
}
func main() {
l := log.New(context.Background(), os.Stdout, 100)
handler := middleware.Get(
welcomeHandler(),
config.WithOpts("example.com", 443, "super-h@rd-Pas1word", config.DirectIpStrategy, l),
)
_ = handler // use handler
}

Functions ¶
func All ¶
All is a middleware that allows all http methods.
See the package documentation for the additional functionality provided by this middleware.
Example ¶
package main
import (
"context"
"io"
"net/http"
"os"
"github.com/komuw/ong/config"
"github.com/komuw/ong/log"
"github.com/komuw/ong/middleware"
)
func main() {
l := log.New(context.Background(), os.Stdout, 100)
opts := config.WithOpts("example.com", 443, "super-h@rd-Pas1word", config.DirectIpStrategy, l)
myHandler := http.HandlerFunc(
func(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request) {
_, _ = io.WriteString(w, "Hello from a HandleFunc \n")
},
)
handler := middleware.All(myHandler, opts)
mx := http.NewServeMux()
mx.Handle("/", handler)
}
func ClientFingerPrint ¶ added in v0.0.44
ClientFingerPrint returns the TLS fingerprint of the client. It is provided on a best-effort basis. If a fingerprint is not found, it returns a string that has the substring "NotFound" in it. There are different formats/algorithms of fingerprinting, this library(by design) does not subscribe to a particular format or algorithm.
func ClientIP ¶ added in v0.0.26
ClientIP returns the "real" client IP address. This will be based on the [ClientIPstrategy] that you chose.
Warning: This should be used with caution. Clients CAN easily spoof IP addresses. Fetching the "real" client is done in a best-effort basis and can be grossly inaccurate & precarious. You should especially heed this warning if you intend to use the IP addresses for security related activities. Proceed at your own risk.
func Delete ¶
Delete is a middleware that only allows http DELETE requests and http OPTIONS requests.
See the package documentation for the additional functionality provided by this middleware.
func Get ¶
Get is a middleware that only allows http GET requests and http OPTIONS requests.
See the package documentation for the additional functionality provided by this middleware.
Example ¶
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"net/http"
"os"
"github.com/komuw/ong/config"
"github.com/komuw/ong/log"
"github.com/komuw/ong/middleware"
)
func loginHandler() http.HandlerFunc {
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
cspNonce := middleware.GetCspNonce(r.Context())
_ = cspNonce
_, _ = fmt.Fprint(w, "welcome to your favorite website.")
}
}
func main() {
l := log.New(context.Background(), os.Stdout, 100)
opts := config.WithOpts("example.com", 443, "super-h@rd-Pas1word", config.DirectIpStrategy, l)
handler := middleware.Get(loginHandler(), opts)
_ = handler // use handler
}
func GetCspNonce ¶
GetCspNonce returns the Content-Security-Policy nonce that was set for the http request in question.
func GetCsrfToken ¶
GetCsrfToken returns the csrf token that was set for the http request in question.
func Head ¶
Head is a middleware that only allows http HEAD requests and http OPTIONS requests.
See the package documentation for the additional functionality provided by this middleware.
