## Introduction [↟](#contents)

Like Clojure's Ring before it, LFE's lmug provides the LFE programmer a means
for creating middleware between an HTTP server request and the response that
is returned to the client.

In particular, lmug-inets implements an lmug adaptor for use with the
Erlang/OTP inets http server, allowing lmug middleware to run on the OTP inets
web server by adapting lmug requests, responses, and handlers to the Erlang Web
Server API (EWSAPI). For more backgound and some detailed context, be sure to 
checkout [our EWSAPI & lmug notes](./docs/ewsapi.md).

## Installation [↟](#contents)

```erlang
{deps, [
   {lmug-inets, "0.1.0", {pkg, lmug_inets}}
  ]}.
```

## Usage [↟](#contents)

Define an app with a middleware chain:

```lisp
lfe> (set app (clj:-> (lmug:app)
                      (lmug-mw-identity:wrap)
                      (lmug-mw-request-id:wrap)
                      (lmug-mw-content-type:wrap)
                      (lmug-mw-status-body:wrap)))
```

```lisp
lfe> (set inets-opts `(#(document_root "/tmp")
                       #(server_root "/tmp")
                       #(port 5099)))
```

```lisp
lfe> (lmug-inets:start app inets-opts)
```

This can be tested from another terminal with `curl`:

``` shell
curl -v http://localhost:5099/response.txt
```

Which will give something like the following:

``` shell
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:5099...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 5099 (#0)
> GET /response.txt HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:5099
> User-Agent: curl/8.1.2
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
