I am trying to add context to Authorization middleware. The ContextHandler is a handler which will be passed to api handlers to take care of connections and config variables. A struct Method ServeHTTP also has been added to the ContextHandler so that it satisfies the net/Http interface for handling requests properly.
CheckAuth is the middle ware which takes in the request to check token validation etc, If token is valid, executes the ServeHTTP method and if not, Returns the appropriate error in the response.
Code compiles, but i am getting error in the ServeHTTP method.
type ContextHandler struct {
*AppContext
Handler func(*AppContext, http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)(int, error)
}
type AppContext struct {
Db *mgo.Session
Config *simplejson.Json
}
func (ah *ContextedHandler) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
status, err := ah.handler(ah.AppContext, w, r)
if err != nil {
switch status {
case http.StatusNotFound:
http.NotFound(w, r)
case http.StatusInternalServerError:
http.Error(w, http.StatusText(status), status)
default:
http.Error(w, http.StatusText(405), 405)
}}}
func CheckAuth(h http.Handler) http.Handler {
log.Println("Entered in CheckAuth")
f := func( w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
authorizationToken := r.Header.Get("Authorization")
if authorizationToken != ""{
secret := []byte("somejunk")
var credentials authorization
token, err := jwt.ParseWithClaims(authorizationToken, &credentials, func(t *jwt.Token) (interface{}, error) {
return []byte(secret), nil
})
if err == nil && token.Valid {
//If everything is fine serve the Http request
h.ServeHTTP( w, r)
return
} else {
//Some response returned
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(response)
return
}
//Check if user exists in the database
if dberr != nil {
//SOmeresponse to be returned
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(response)
return
}
}else{
response := simplejson.New()
//response authorization header is missing
json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(response)
return
}
}
return http.HandlerFunc(f)
}
func Initdb(configfile *simplejson.Json) *mgo.Session {
//return mongodbsession, copy and close while using it
}
In main.go file in the parent package
func main() {
var FileUploadContextHandler *ContextedHandler = &ContextedHandler{&context, filesystem.FileUpload}
router.Methods("POST").Path("/decentralizefilesystem/fileupload").Name("FileUpload").Handler(CheckAuth(FileUploadContextHandler))
}
I am getting this error
