internet-message

Description

internet-message is a collection of parser combinators for the grammar defined in RFC 5322 (Internet Message Format).

Library Procedures

The combinator procedures in this library are based on the interface provided by the abnf library.

These procedures are provided as fields of the <InetMessage> typeclass. Please see the typeclass library for information on type classes.

The <InetMessage> typeclass is intended to provide abstraction over different kinds of input sequences, e.g. character lists, strings, streams, etc. <InetMessage> inherits from <CoreABNF>, which provides the core parsing primitives used to build the CSV grammar parser (see the abnf library for more information).

The following example illustrates the creation of an instance of <InetMessage> specialized for character lists.

(use typeclass internet-message abnf)

(define char-list-<Input>
  (make-<Input> null? car cdr))

(define char-list-<Token>
  (Input->Token char-list-<Input>))

(define char-list-<CharLex>
  (Token->CharLex char-list-<Token>))

(define char-list-<CoreABNF>
  (CharLex->CoreABNF char-list-<Token> 
		     char-list-<CharLex>))

(define char-list-<InetMessage>
  (CoreABNF->InetMessage char-list-<CoreABNF> ))

(import-instance (<InetMessage> char-list-<InetMessage>))
[procedure] fields

This parser will parse an arbitrary number of header fields as defined in the RFC. For each field, an appropriate alist is created. The following fields are recognized:

[procedure] body

This parser will parse a message body as specified by the RFC; that is, any number of text characters, which may be divided into separate lines by CRLF.

[procedure] message

This parser will parse a complete message as defined by the RFC and it broken down into the separate header fields and the message body.

[procedure] comment

This parser parses comment text, as defined by the RFC. Comments may nest.
