Description¶
Hooks are points in Apache Traffic Server transaction HTTP processing where plugins can step in and do some work. Registering a plugin function for callback amounts to adding the function to a hook. You can register your plugin to be called back for every single transaction, or for specific transactions only.
HTTP transaction and session hooks are set on a
global basis using the function TSHttpHookAdd()
. This means
that the continuation specified as the parameter to TSHttpHookAdd()
is called for every transaction. TSHttpHookAdd()
must only be called from
TSPluginInit()
or TSRemapInit()
. Continuations set on a
global hook will run before any continuations set on the session/transaction
hook with the same hook ID.
TSHttpSsnHookAdd()
adds contp to
the end of the list of HTTP session hooks specified by id.
This means that contp is called back for every transaction
within the session, at the point specified by the hook ID. Since
contp is added to a session, it is not possible to call
TSHttpSsnHookAdd()
from the plugin initialization routine;
the plugin needs a handle to an HTTP session. Continuations set on a
session hook will run before any continuations set on the transaction
hook with the same hook ID. This fucnction can be called from handler
functions of continuations on a global per-session hook, including for
the session hook with the same ID.
TSHttpTxnHookAdd()
adds contp
to the end of the list of HTTP transaction hooks specified by
id. Since contp is added to a transaction, it is
not possible to call TSHttpTxnHookAdd()
from the plugin
initialization routine but only when the plugin has a handle to an
HTTP transaction. This fucnction can be called from handler
functions of continuations on a global or session per-transaction
hook, including the for transaction hook with the same ID.
A single continuation can be attached to multiple hooks at the same time. It is good practice to conserve resources by reusing hooks in this way when possible.
When a continuation on a hook is triggered, the name of the event passed to
the continuation function depends on the name of the hook. The naming
convention is that, for hook TS_xxx_HOOK, the event passed to the continuation
function will be TS_EVENT_xxx. For example, when a continuation attached to
TS_HTTP_READ_REQUEST_HDR_HOOK is triggered, the event passed to the continuation
function will be TS_EVENT_HTTP_READ_REQUEST_HDR
.
When a continuation is triggered by a hook, the actual type of the event data
(the void pointer passed as the third parameter to the continuation function) is
determined by which hook it is. For example, for the hook ID TS_HTTP_TXN_CLOSE_HOOK,
the event data is of type TSHttpTxn
. This is the case regardless of whether the
continuation was added to the hook using TSHttpTxnHookAdd()
, TSHttpSsnHookAdd()
or TSHttpHookAdd()
. If the event data is of type TSHttpTxn
, TSHttpSsn
or
TSVConn
, the continuation function can assume the mutex of the indicated
event data object is locked. (But the continuation function must not unlock it.)
Return Values¶
None. Adding hooks is always successful.
Examples¶
The following example demonstrates how to add global, session and transaction hooks:
#include <ts/ts.h>
static int
handler(TSCont contp, TSEvent event, void *edata)
{
TSHttpSsn ssnp;
TSHttpTxn txnp;
switch (event){
case TS_EVENT_HTTP_SSN_START:
ssnp = (TSHttpSsn) edata;
// Add a session hook ...
TSHttpSsnHookAdd(ssnp, TS_HTTP_TXN_START_HOOK, contp);
TSHttpSsnReenable(ssnp, TS_EVENT_HTTP_CONTINUE);
return 0;
case TS_EVENT_HTTP_TXN_START:
txnp = (TSHttpTxn) edata;
// Add a transaction hook ...
TSHttpTxnHookAdd(txnp, TS_HTTP_READ_REQUEST_HDR_HOOK, contp);
TSHttpTxnReenable(txnp, TS_EVENT_HTTP_CONTINUE);
return 0;
case TS_EVENT_HTTP_READ_REQUEST_HDR:
txnp = (TSHttpTxn) edata;
// ...
TSHttpTxnReenable(txnp, TS_EVENT_HTTP_CONTINUE);
return 0;
default:
break;
}
return 0;
}
void
TSPluginInit (int argc, const char *argv[])
{
TSCont contp;
contp = TSContCreate(handler, nullptr);
TSHttpHookAdd(TS_HTTP_SSN_START_HOOK, contp);
}
For more example code using hooks, see the test_hooks plugin in tests/tools/plugins (used by the test_hooks.test.py Gold test).
