incoming-message-hash

Generate a one-way hash from an http.IncomingMessage

install

$ npm install incoming-message-hash --save

example

This example demonstrates how the hashing function returns a different hash based on the IncomingMessage's method, path, query string, headers and body.

import hash from 'incoming-message-hash'
import { createServer } from 'http'

createServer((req, res) => {
  req.pipe(hash()).pipe(res)
}).listen(4567, () => {
  console.log('Server is listening on port 4567');
})
$ curl http://localhost:4567; echo

$ curl http://localhost:4567/foo; echo

$ curl http://localhost:4567/foo?a=b; echo

$ curl -H "Host: www.flickr.com" http://localhost:4567; echo

usage

var hash = require('incoming-message-hash');

hash([algorithm='md5'[, encoding='hex']])

Returns a new crypto.Hash stream using the specified algorithm and encoding (defaults to "md5" and "hex"). You can pipe your http.IncomingMessage in and get a hash back.

import hash from 'incoming-message-hash'
import { createServer } from 'http'

createServer((req, res) => {
  req.pipe(hash()).pipe(res)
})

hash.sync(req, body[, algorithm='md5'[, encoding='hex']])

Synchronous version of hash() that accepts an http.IncomingMessage and its body and returns the hash. You must buffer up the request body yourself if you wish to use this method.

import { promise } from 'incoming-message-hash'
import { createServer } from 'http'

createServer(async function (req, res) {
  let body = ''

  req.on('data', chunk => body += String(chunk))

  req.on('end', () => {
    res.end(sync(req, body))
  })
})

hash.promise(req[, algorithm='md5'[, encoding='hex]])

Asynchronous version of hash() that accepts an http.IncomingMessage and buffers the body up for you.

import { promise } from 'incoming-message-hash'
import { createServer } from 'http'

createServer(async (req, res) => {
  res.end(await promise(req))
})
