eggs

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

Usage

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

Each procedure exported by internet-message parser combinator of the form (lambda (cont s) ...), which takes a continuation and input stream. For instance, the message parser combinator can be used to parse messages:

;; A procedure which creates an input stream from a string
(define (string->input-stream s) `(() ,(string->list s)))

;; A procedure used to report parse errors 
(define (err s)
  (print "internet message error on stream: " s)
  (list))

(let* (;; Parser combinator procedure which takes continuation and input stream
         (parse-message (lambda (cont s) ((message) (compose cont car) err s)))
         (my-message "From: John Doe <jdoe@machine.example>\r\nTo: Mary Smith <mary@example.net>\r\nSubject: Saying Hello\r\nDate: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600\r\nMessage-ID: <1234@local.machine.example>\r\n\r\nThis is a message just to say hello.\r\nSo, \r\n\r\n\"Hello\".")
          )        

  (parse-message (lambda (s) (test (apply sprintf "~S -> ~S" p) res s))
                 (string->input-stream inp))
  )
->
(message 
  (fields (From (mailbox-list (mailbox (display-name (" John " "Doe ")) (local-part "jdoe") (domain "machine.example"))))
          (To (mailbox (display-name (" Mary " "Smith ")) (local-part "mary") (domain "example.net")))
          (Subject " Saying Hello") 
	  (Date (day-of-week "Fri") (date "21" "Nov" "1997") (time "09" "55" "06" "-" "06" "00"))
	  (Message-id  (message-id "1234" "local.machine.example")))
  (body "This is a message just to say hello." "So, " "\"Hello\"."))

Library Procedures

The following procedures are exported:

[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:

from
sender
return-path
reply-to
to
cc
bcc
message-id
in-reply-to
references
subject
comments
keywords
orig-date
resent-date
resent-from
resent-sender
resent-to
resent-cc
resent-bcc
resent-msg-id
resent-reply-to
received
optional-field

[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 will break it 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.
