NAME

Search::OpenSearch::Server - serve OpenSearch results

DESCRIPTION

Search::OpenSearch::Server is an abstract base class with some basic methods defining server behavior.

METHODS

new

The Search::OpenSearch::Server abstract class does not implement a constructor. Each subclass must do that.

However, accessor/mutator methods are supported via Plack::Util::Accessor, and these should be set in the constructor.

  • engine

  • engine_config

  • stats_logger

  • http_allow

do_search( request, response )

Performs a search using a Search::OpenSearch::Engine set in engine().

request

A Request object. Should act like a Plack::Request or a Catalyst::Request.

response

A Response object. Should act like a Plack::Response or a Catalyst::Response.

Will return the response object.

do_rest_api( request, response[, path] )

Calls the appropriate REST method on the engine().

request

A Request object. Should act like a Plack::Request or a Catalyst::Request.

response

A Response object. Should act like a Plack::Response or a Catalyst::Response.

Will return the response object.

The following HTTP headers are supported for explicitly setting the indexer behavior:

X-SOS-Content-Location
X-SOS-Last-Modified
X-SOS-Parser-Type
X-SOS-Content-Type
X-SOS-Encoding

handle_no_query( request, response )

If no 'q' param is present in the Plack::Request, this method is called. The default behavior is to set a 400 (bad request) with error message. You can override it to behave more kindly.

request

A Request object. Should act like a Plack::Request or a Catalyst::Request.

response

A Response object. Should act like a Plack::Response or a Catalyst::Response.

Will return the response object.

log( msg [, <level ] )

Utility method. Default is to warn(msg).
