Description

An implementation of Repository that talks to repositories over HTTP.

This implementation is itself parameterized over a `HttpClient`, so that it it not tied to a specific library; for instance, `HttpClient` can be implemented with the `HTTP` library, the `http-client` libary, or others.

It would also be possible to give _other_ Repository implementations that talk to repositories over HTTP, if you want to make other design decisions than we did here, in particular:

- We attempt to do incremental downloads of the index when possible.
- We reuse the Repository.Local to deal with the local cache.
- We download `timestamp.json` and `snapshot.json` together. This is implemented here because:
- One level down (HttpClient) we have no access to the local cache
- One level up (Repository API) would require _all_ Repositories to implement this optimization.

Synopsis

- withRepository :: HttpLib -> [URI] -> RepoOpts -> Cache -> RepoLayout -> IndexLayout -> (LogMessage -> IO ()) -> (Repository RemoteTemp -> IO a) -> IO a
- data RepoOpts = RepoOpts {
  - repoAllowAdditionalMirrors :: Bool
  }
- defaultRepoOpts :: RepoOpts
- data RemoteTemp a
- data FileSize
  - = FileSizeExact Int54
  - | FileSizeBound Int54
- fileSizeWithinBounds :: Int54 -> FileSize -> Bool

Arguments

:: HttpLib | Implementation of the HTTP protocol
-> [URI] | "Out of band" list of mirrors
-> RepoOpts | Repository options
-> Cache | Location of local cache
-> RepoLayout | Repository layout
-> IndexLayout | Index layout
-> (LogMessage -> IO ()) | Logger
-> (Repository RemoteTemp -> IO a) | Callback
-> IO a |

Initialize the repository (and cleanup resources afterwards)

We allow to specify multiple mirrors to initialize the repository. These are mirrors that can be found "out of band" (out of the scope of the TUF protocol), for example in a `cabal.config` file. The TUF protocol itself will specify that any of these mirrors can serve a `mirrors.json` file that itself contains mirrors; we consider these as _additional_ mirrors to the ones that are passed here.

NOTE: The list of mirrors should be non-empty (and should typically include the primary server).

TODO: In the future we could allow finer control over precisely which mirrors we use (which combination of the mirrors that are passed as arguments here and the mirrors that we get from `mirrors.json`) as well as indicating mirror preferences.

data RepoOpts #

Repository options with a reasonable default

Clients should use `defaultRepositoryOpts` and override required settings.

Constructors

RepoOpts |
Fields repoAllowAdditionalMirrors :: Bool Allow additional mirrors? If this is set to True (default), in addition to the (out-of-band) specified mirrors we will also use mirrors reported by those out-of-band mirrors (that is, `mirrors.json`).

Constructors

FileSizeExact Int54 | For most files we download we know the exact size beforehand (because this information comes from the snapshot or delegated info)
FileSizeBound Int54 | For some files we might not know the size beforehand, but we might be able to provide an upper bound (timestamp, root info)
