Quilt dispatch language

(Very rough draft)

The dispatcher matches elements of a request against a sequence of rules. The first rule that matches is used identify the Quilt document that will handle the request.

Elements of a Request

• uri
  • scheme
  • authority
    • domain_name
    • port
    • ip
  • path
  • fragment
  • query_string
• header
• method

Accessing request elements

port
header.key
method

Matching elements against a regular expression

domain_name           ^github.com$
header['_gh_sess']    !^$
path                  ^/accounts/.*$
