+# Goal:
+=======
+- support safe concurrency with EWF
+- provide a concurrent standalone connector
+
+# Status: 
+=========
+- The version v0 of EWF has mainly 3 connectors: CGI, libFCGI, and nino. 
+  - CGI and libFCGI connectors does not need any concurrency support.
+  - But the nino connector had a pseudo concurrency support with Thread, however one could do write code that result in hasardeous concurrency execution. 
+
+So, it was decided to provide an improved Eiffel web nino connector, and update EWF design to make it concurrency compliant.
+
+# Decisions:
+============
+- instead of updating current nino library, we now have a new "standalone" connector which is inspired by nino, but have support for the 3 concurrency modes: none, thread and SCOOP.
+
+
+# Overview
+==========
+Adding support for SCOOP concurrency mode add constraints to the design, but also helps ensuring the concurrency design of EWF is correct.
+
+As a consequence, we had to introduce a new interface WSF_EXECUTION which is instantiated for each incoming request. See its simplified interface :
+<code lang="eiffel">
+	deferred class WSF_EXECUTION
+
+	feature -- Initialization
+
+		make (req: WGI_REQUEST; res: WGI_RESPONSE)
+			do
+				...
+				īnitialize
+			end
+
+		initialize
+				-- Initialize Current object.
+				--| To be redefined if needed.
+			do
+			end
+		
+
+	feature -- Access
+
+		request: WSF_REQUEST
+				-- Access to request data.
+				-- Header, Query, Post, Input data..
+
+		response: WSF_RESPONSE
+				-- Access to output stream, back to the client.
+
+	feature -- Execution
+
+		execute
+				-- Execute Current `request',
+				-- getting data from `request'
+				-- and response to client via `response'.
+			deferred
+			ensure
+				is_valid_end_of_execution: is_valid_end_of_execution
+			end
+
+	end
+</code>
+
+And the related request execution routines are extracted from WSF_SERVICE which becomes almost useless. The "service" part is not mostly responsible of launching the expected connector and set optional options, and declare the type of "execution" interface.
+
+As a result, the well known WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE has now a formal generic that should conform to WSF_EXECUTION with a `make' creation procedure. See update code:
+
+<code lang="eiffel">
+	class
+		APPLICATION
+
+	inherit
+		WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE [APPLICATION_EXECUTION]
+			redefine
+				initialize
+			end
+
+	create
+		make_and_launch
+
+	feature {NONE} -- Initialization
+
+		initialize
+				-- Initialize current service.
+			do
+				set_service_option ("port", 9090)
+			end
+
+	end
+</code>
+
+Where APPLICATION_EXECUTION is an implementation of the WSF_EXECUTION interface (with the `make' creation procedure).
+
+In addition to add better and safer concurrency support, there are other advantages:
+- we now have a clear separation between the service launcher, and the request execution itself.
+- the WSF_EXECUTION is created per request, with two main attributes <code>request: WSF_REQUEST</code> and <code>response: WSF_RESPONSE</code>.
+
+# How to migrate to new design
+- you can check the various example from the EWF repository, there should all be migrated to new design and comparing previous and new code, this will show you how the migration was done.
+- a frequent process:
+   - identify the root class of your service, (the class implementing the WSF_SERVICE), let us name it APPLICATION_SERVICE
+   - copy the APPLICATION_SERVICE file to APPLICATION_EXECUTION file.
+   - change the class name to be APPLICATION_EXECUTION, and replace _SERVICE occurences by _EXECUTION (note the new WSF_ROUTED_EXECUTION and so on, which are mainly migration from previous WSF_ROUTED_SERVICE .., and also  WSF_FILTERED_ROUTED_EXECUTION which is new.
+   - replace "make_and_launch" by "make", remove the initialize redefinition if any.
+   - in the APPLICATION_SERVICE class, remove most of the ROUTED, FILTERED ... inheritance, and keep WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE, with a new formal generic i.e WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE [APPLICATION_EXECUTION].
+      - in the eventual redefined initialize, remove code related to routers, filters, ...
+	  - remove all the execution related code.
+   - And you should be done.
+   - To be short, this is mostly creating a new _EXECUTION class, and move the execution related code into this class from the _SERVICE class.
+- Then, you can replace the usage of nino connector by using the new "Standalone" connector, and switch to SCOOP concurrency mode, to ensure you are not messing up with concurrency. Your own code/libraris may not be SCOOP compliant, we recommend to migrate to SCOOP, but as an intermediate solutioņ, you can use the other concurrency mode (none or thread).
+
+Note: the new design impacts the _SERVICE classes, connectors, but WSF_REQUEST, WSF_RESPONSE , WSF_ROUTER are compatible, so the migration is really easy.
+
+We may take the opportunity to update the design deeper according to user feedback, and eventually "wsf" library will be renamed "wsf2".
+This is work in progress, all comments , feedback, suggestions, bug report are welcome. 
+Hopefully before the final version of the new design is out.

+## EWF service structure
+
+The following code describes the basic structure of an EWF basic service that handles HTTP requests. We will need to define a Service Launcher and a Request Execution implementation. 
+
+```eiffel
+class
+    APPLICACTION
+
+inherit
+    WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE [APPLICATION_EXECUTION] 
+
+create
+    make_and_launch
+
+end
+```
+
+The class ```APPLICATION``` inherit from 
+```WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE [G ->WSF_EXECUTION create make end]``` it will be responsible to launch the service and set optional options.
+
+The class ```APPLICATION_EXECUTION``` is an implementation of ```WSF_EXECUTION``` interface, which is instantiated for each incoming request.
+
+```eiffel
+class
+    APPLICATION_EXECUTION
+
+inherit
+    WSF_EXECUTION
+
+create
+    make
+
+feature -- Basic operations
+
+   execute (req: WSF_REQUEST; res: WSF_RESPONSE)
+        do
+            -- To read incoming HTTP request, we need to use `req'
+
+            -- May require talking to databases or other services.  
+
+            -- To send a response we need to setup, the status code and
+            -- the response headers and the content we want to send out our client
+        end
+end
+```
+
+When using the "nino" connector or the new "standalone" connector, by default the service listens on port 80, but often this port is already used by other applications, so it is recommended to use another port.
+To define another port, redefine the feature `initialize' and set up a new port number using the service options (see below).
+
+
+```eiffel
+class
+    APPLICATION
+
+inherit
+    WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE [APPLICATION_EXECUTION] 
+    	redefine
+			initialize
+		end
+
+create
+    make_and_launch
+
+feature {NONE} -- Initialization
+
+	initialize
+			-- Initialize current service.
+		do
+			set_service_option ("port", 9090)
+		end
+end
+```
+
+The **WSF_REQUEST** gives access to the incoming data; the class provides features to get information such as request method, form data, query parameters, uploaded files, HTTP request headers, and hostname of the client among others. 
+
+The **WSF_RESPONSE** provides features to define the response with information such as HTTP status codes (10x,20x, 30x, 40x, and 50x), response headers (Content-Type, Content-Length, etc.) and obviously the body of the message itself.
+
+**APPLICATION** is the root class of our example, it launches the application, using the corresponding connector, Which connector? this depends how you want to run it cgi, fcgi,nino or standalone. For development is recommended to use a standalone web server written in Eiffel, and run the execution within the EiffelStudio debugger. For production fcgi (or cgi) using Apache or another popular web server.
+
+![Launcher Hierarchy](/doc/workbook/basics/Launcher Hierarchy.png "Launcher Hierarchy")
+
+**WS_LAUNCHABLE_SERVICE** inherit from **WS_SERVICE** class, which is a marker interface in EWF. And also provides a way to launch our application using different kind of connectors.  The class **WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE_I**, inherit from **WS_LAUNCHABLE_SERVICE**  and has a formal generic that should conform to **WSF_SERVICE_LAUNCHER [WSF_EXECUTION]**. Below a [BON diagram] (http://www.bon-method.com/index_normal.htm) showing one of the possible options.
+
+![Standalone Launcher](/doc/workbook/basics/WSF_SERVICE_LAUNCHER_STANDALONE.png "Standalone Hierarchy")
+Other connectors:
+
+**WSF_STANDALONE_SERVICE_LAUNCHER**
+**WSF_CGI_SERVICE_LAUNCHER**  
+**WSF_NINO_SERVICE_LAUNCHER**  
+**WSF_LIBFCGI_SERVICE_LAUNCHER** 
+
+A basic EWF service inherits from **WSF_DEFAULT_SERVICE**, which has  a formal generic that should conform to **WSF_EXECUTION** class with a `make' creation procedure, in our case the class **APPLICATION_EXECUTION**.
+
+The **APPLICATION_EXECUTION** class inherits from **WSF_EXECUTION** interface,  which is instantiated for each incoming request. **WSF_EXECUTION** inherit from **WGI_EXECUTION** which is the low level entry point in EWF, handling each incoming request with a single procedure ```execute (req: WSF_REQUEST; res: WSF_RESPONSE) ...```.
+
+In the **APPLICATION_EXECUTION** class class you will need to implement implement the **execute** feature, get data from the request *req* and write the response in *res*.
+
+![Execution Hierarchy](/doc/workbook/basics/APPLICATION_EXECUTION.png "Application Execution ")
+
+The WSF_EXECUTION instance, in this case ```APPLICATION_EXECUTION``` is created per request, with two main attributes request: ```WSF_REQUEST``` and response: ```WSF_RESPONSE```.
+
+<a name="text"/>
+## A simple Service to Generate Plain Text.
+
+Before to continue, it is recommended to review the getting started guided. In the example we will only shows the implementation of the WSF_EXECUTION interface. 
+
+```eiffel
+class
+	APPLICATION_EXECUTION
+
+inherit
+	WSF_EXECUTION
+
+create
+	make
+
+feature -- Basic operations
+
+	execute
+			-- Execute the incomming request
+		do
+				-- To send a response we need to setup, the status code and
+				-- the response headers.
+			response.put_header ({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.ok, <<["Content-Type", "text/plain"], ["Content-Length", "11"]>>)
+			response.put_string ("Hello World")
+		end
+end
+
+```
+<a name="source_1"></a>
+##### Source code
+The source code is available on Github. You can get it by running the command:
+
+```git clone https://github.com/EiffelWebFramework/ewf.git```
+
+The example of simple service that generate plain text response is located in the directory $PATH/ewd/doc/workbook/basics/simple, where $PATH is where you run ```git clone``` . Just double click on the simple.ecf file and select the simple_nino target or if you prefer the command line, run the command:
+
+```estudio -config simple.ecf -target simple_nino```
+
+<a name="html"></a>
+## A Service to Generate HTML.
+To generate HTML, it's needed
+
+1. Change the Content-Type : "text/html"
+2. Build an HTML page
+
+```eiffel
+class
+	APPLICATION_EXECUTION
+
+inherit
+	WSF_EXECUTION
+
+create
+	make
+
+feature -- Basic operations
+
+	execute
+			-- Execute the incomming request
+		do
+				-- To send a response we need to setup, the status code and
+				-- the response headers.
+			response.put_header ({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.ok, <<["Content-Type", "text/html"], ["Content-Length", web_page.count.out]>>)
+			response.put_string (web_page)
+		end
+
+	web_page: STRING = "[ 	
+	<!DOCTYPE html>
+	<html>
+		<head>
+			<title>Resume</title>
+		</head>
+		<body>
+			Hello World
+		</body>
+	</html>

+## Format of the HTTP response
+
+As we saw in the previous documents, a request from a user-agent (browser or other client) consists of an HTTP command (usually GET or POST), zero or more request headers (one or more in HTTP 1.1, since Host is required), a blank line, and only in the case of POST/PUT requests, payload data. A typical request looks like the following.
+
+```
+	GET /url[query_string] HTTP/1.1
+	Host: ...
+	Header2: ...
+	...
+	HeaderN:
+	(Blank Line)
+```
+
+When a Web server responds to a request, the response typically consists of a status line, some response headers, a blank line, and the document. A typical response
+looks like this:
+
+```
+	HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+	Content-Type: text/html
+	Header2: ...
+	...
+	HeaderN: ...
+	(Blank Line)
+	<!DOCTYPE ...>
+	<HTML>
+		<HEAD>...</HEAD>
+		<BODY>
+		...
+		</BODY>
+	</HTML>
+```
+
+The status line consists of the HTTP version (HTTP/1.1 in the preceding example), a status code (an integer 200 in the example), and a very short message corresponding to the status code (OK in the example). In most cases, the headers are optional except for Content-Type, which specifies the MIME type of the document that follows. Although most responses contain a document, some don’t. For example, responses to HEAD requests should never include a document, and various status codes essentially indicate failure or redirection (and thus either don’t include a document or include only a short error-message document).
+
+<a name="status_set"/>
+## How to set the status code
+
+If you need to set an arbitrary status code, you can use the ```WSF_RESPONSE.put_header``` feature  or the ```WSF_RESPONSE.set_status_code``` feature. An status code of 200 is a default value.  See below examples using the mentioned features.
+
+### Using the WSF_RESPONSE.put_header feature.
+In this case you provide the status code with a collection of headers. 
+
+```eiffel
+	put_header (a_status_code: INTEGER_32; a_headers: detachable ARRAY [TUPLE [name: READABLE_STRING_8; value: READABLE_STRING_8]])
+			-- Put headers with status `a_status', and headers from `a_headers'
+		require
+			a_status_code_valid: a_status_code > 0
+			status_not_committed: not status_committed
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+		ensure
+			status_code_set: status_code = a_status_code
+			status_set: status_is_set
+			message_writable: message_writable
+
+Example			
+	res.put_header ({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.ok, <<["Content-Type", "text/html"], ["Content-Length", output_size]>>) 
+	res.put_string (web_page)
+```
+
+### Using the WSF_RESPONSE.set_status code
+
+```eiffel
+	custom_response (req: WSF_REQUEST; res: WSF_RESPONSE; output: STRING)
+		local
+			h: HTTP_HEADER
+			l_msg: STRING
+		do
+			create h.make
+			create l_msg.make_from_string (output)
+			h.put_content_type_text_html
+			h.put_content_length (l_msg.count)
+			h.put_current_date
+			res.set_status_code ({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.ok)
+			res.put_header_text (h.string)
+			res.put_string (l_msg)
+		end
+```
+Both features takes an INTEGER (the status code) as an formal argument, you can use 200, 300, 500 etc directly, but instead of using explicit numbers, it's recommended to use the constants defined in the class [HTTP_STATUS_CODE](). The name of each constant is based from the standard [HTTP 1.1](https://httpwg.github.io/).
+
+<a name="redirect"/>
+## How to redirect to a particular location.
+To redirect the response to a new location, we need to send a 302 status code, to do that we use ```{HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.found```
+
+> The 302 (Found) status code indicates that the target resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection might be altered on occasion, the client ought to continue to use the effective request URI for future requests.
+
+Another way to do redirection is with 303 status code
+
+> The 303 (See Other) status code indicates that the server is redirecting the user agent to a different resource, as indicated by a URI in the Location header field, which is intended to provide an indirect response to the original request. 
+
+The next code show a custom feature to write a redirection, you can use found or see_other based on your particular requirements.
+
+```eiffel
+	send_redirect (req: WSF_REQUEST; res: WSF_RESPONSE; a_location: READABLE_STRING_32)
+			-- Redirect to `a_location'
+		local
+			h: HTTP_HEADER
+		do
+			create h.make
+			h.put_content_type_text_html
+			h.put_current_date
+			h.put_location (a_location)
+			res.set_status_code ({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.found)
+			res.put_header_text (h.string)
+		end
+```
+
+The class [WSF_RESPONSE]() provide features to work with redirection 
+
+```eiffel
+	redirect_now (a_url: READABLE_STRING_8)
+			-- Redirect to the given url `a_url'
+		require
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+
+	redirect_now_custom (a_url: READABLE_STRING_8; a_status_code: INTEGER_32; a_header: detachable HTTP_HEADER; a_content: detachable TUPLE [body: READABLE_STRING_8; type: READABLE_STRING_8])
+			-- Redirect to the given url `a_url' and precise custom `a_status_code', custom header and content
+			-- Please see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616 to use proper status code.
+			-- if `a_status_code' is 0, use the default {HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.temp_redirect
+		require
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+
+	redirect_now_with_content (a_url: READABLE_STRING_8; a_content: READABLE_STRING_8; a_content_type: READABLE_STRING_8)
+			-- Redirect to the given url `a_url'
+```
+
+The ```WSF_RESPONSE.redirect_now``` feature use the status code ```{HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.found```,the other redirect features enable customize the status code and content based on your requirements.
+
+
+Using a similar approach we can build features to answer a bad request (400), internal server error (500), etc. We will build a simple example showing the most common HTTP status codes.
+
+<a name="status"/>
+## [HTTP 1.1 Status Codes](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#status.codes)
+The status-code element is a three-digit integer code giving the result of the attempt to understand and satisfy the request. The first digit of the status-code defines the class of response. 
+
+General categories:
+* [1xx](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#status.1xx) Informational: The 1xx series of response codes are used only in negotiations with the HTTP server.
+* [2xx](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#status.2xx) Sucessful: The 2xx error codes indicate that an operation was successful.
+* [3xx](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#status.3xx) Redirection: The 3xx status codes indicate that the client needs to do some extra work to get what it wants.
+* [4xx](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#status.4xx) Client Error: These status codes indicate that something is wrong on the client side. 
+* [5xx](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#status.5xx) Server Error: These status codes indicate that something is wrong on the server side. 
+
+Note: use ```res.set_status_code({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.bad_request)``` rather than ```res.set_status_code(400)```.

+## [Response Header Fields](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#response.header.fields)
+
+The response header fields allow the server to pass additional information about the response beyond what is placed in the status-line. These header fields give information about the server, about further access to the target resource, or about related resources. We can specify cookies, page modification date (for caching), reload a page after a designated period of time, size of the document.
+
+
+
+### How to set response headers.
+
+HTTP allows multiple occurrences of the same header name, the features  ```put_XYZ``` replace existing headers with the same name and
+features ```add_XYZ``` add headers that can lead to duplicated entries.
+
+
+```eiffel
+	add_header_line (h: READABLE_STRING_8)
+			-- Add header `h'
+			-- This can lead to duplicated header entries
+		require
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+
+	add_header_text (a_text: READABLE_STRING_8)
+			-- Add the multiline header `a_text'
+			-- Does not replace existing header with same name
+			-- This could leads to multiple header with the same name
+		require
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+			a_text_ends_with_single_crlf: a_text.count > 2 implies not a_text.substring (a_text.count - 2, a_text.count).same_string ("%R%N")
+			a_text_does_not_end_with_double_crlf: a_text.count > 4 implies not a_text.substring (a_text.count - 4, a_text.count).same_string ("%R%N%R%N")
+		ensure
+			status_set: status_is_set
+			message_writable: message_writable
+
+	put_header_line (h: READABLE_STRING_8)
+			-- Put header `h'
+			-- Replace any existing value
+		require
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+
+	put_header_text (a_text: READABLE_STRING_8)
+			-- Put the multiline header `a_text'
+			-- Overwite potential existing header
+		require
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+			a_text_ends_with_single_crlf: a_text.count > 2 implies not a_text.substring (a_text.count - 2, a_text.count).same_string ("%R%N")
+			a_text_does_not_end_with_double_crlf: a_text.count > 4 implies not a_text.substring (a_text.count - 4, a_text.count).same_string ("%R%N%R%N")
+		ensure
+			message_writable: message_writable
+
+helpers
+
+	add_header (a_status_code: INTEGER_32; a_headers: detachable ARRAY [TUPLE [name: READABLE_STRING_8; value: READABLE_STRING_8]])
+			-- Put headers with status `a_status', and headers from `a_headers'
+		require
+			a_status_code_valid: a_status_code > 0
+			status_not_committed: not status_committed
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+		ensure
+			status_code_set: status_code = a_status_code
+			status_set: status_is_set
+			message_writable: message_writable
+
+	add_header_lines (a_lines: ITERABLE [READABLE_STRING_8])
+			-- Add headers from `a_lines'
+		require
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+
+	put_header (a_status_code: INTEGER_32; a_headers: detachable ARRAY [TUPLE [name: READABLE_STRING_8; value: READABLE_STRING_8]])
+			-- Put headers with status `a_status', and headers from `a_headers'
+		require
+			a_status_code_valid: a_status_code > 0
+			status_not_committed: not status_committed
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+		ensure
+			status_code_set: status_code = a_status_code
+			status_set: status_is_set
+			message_writable: message_writable
+
+	put_header_lines (a_lines: ITERABLE [READABLE_STRING_8])
+			-- Put headers from `a_lines'
+		require
+			header_not_committed: not header_committed
+
+```
+
+The other way to build headers is using the class [HTTP_HEADER](), that provide routines to build a header. It's recomended to 
+take a look at constants classes such as [HTTP_MIME_TYPES](),[HTTP_HEADER_NAMES](),[HTTP_STATUS_CODE](),[HTTP_REQUEST_METHODS](), or 
+[HTTP_CONSTANTS]() which groups them for convenience.
+
+
+```eiffel
+	custom_answer (req: WSF_REQUEST; res: WSF_RESPONSE; output: STRING)
+		local
+			h: HTTP_HEADER
+			l_msg: STRING
+		do
+			create h.make
+			create l_msg.make_from_string (output)
+			h.put_content_type_text_html
+			h.put_content_length (l_msg.count)
+			h.put_current_date
+			res.set_status_code ({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.bad_gateway)
+			res.put_header_text (h.string)
+			res.put_string (l_msg)
+		end
+```
+The class [HTTP_HEADER]() also supplies a number of convenience routines for specifying common headers, in fact the features are inherited from the class [HTTP_HEADER_MODIFIER].
+
+
+```eiffel
+deferred class interface

+			--  2. The resulting string literal is then encoded using Base64.

+## HTTP 1.1 Response Headers
+
+There are four categories for response header fields:
+ - [Control Data](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#response.control.data) : Supply control data that supplements the status code, directs caching, or instructs the client where to go next.
+ 	 - Age,Cache-Control,Expires,Date,Location,Retry-After,Vary,Warning.
+ - [Validator](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#response.validator): Validator header fields convey metadata about the selected representation. In responses to safe requests, validator fields describe the selected representation chosen by the origin server while handling the response.
+ - [Authentication Challenges](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#response.auth): Indicate what mechanisms are available for the client to provide authentication credentials in future requests.
+ - [Response Context](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#response.context): Provide more information about the target resource for potential use in later requests.

+## [Cookie](http://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc6265.html)
+A cookie is a piece of data that can be stored in a browser's cache. If you visit a web site and then revisit it, the cookie data can be used to identify you as a return visitor. Cookies enable state information, such as an online shopping cart, to be remembered. A cookie can be short term, holding data for a single web session, that is, until you close the browser, or a cookie can be longer term, holding data for a week or a year.
+
+Cookies are used a lot in web client-server communication.
+
+- HTTP State Management With Cookies
+	 
+- Personalized response to the client based on their preference, for example we can set background color as cookie in client browser and then use it to customize response background color, image etc.
+
+Server send cookies to the client
+
+>Set-Cookie: _Framework=EWF; Path=/; Expires=Tue, 10 Mar 2015 13:28:10 GMT; HttpOnly%R
+
+
+Client send cookies to server
+
+>Cookie: _Framework=EWF
+
+
+
+<a name="properties"/>
+### Cookie properties
+
+ - Comment: describe the purpose of the cookie. Note that server doesn’t receive this information when client sends cookie in request header. 
+ - Domain: domain name for the cookie.
+ - Expiration/MaxAge: Expiration time of the cookie, we could also set it in seconds.  (At the moment Max-Age attribute is not supported)
+ - Name: name of the cookie.
+ - Path: path on the server to which the browser returns this cookie. Path instruct the browser to send cookie to a particular resource.
+ - Secure: True, if the browser is sending cookies only over a secure protocol, False in other case.
+ - Value: Value of th cookie as string.
+ - HttpOnly: Checks whether this Cookie has been marked as HttpOnly. 
+ - Version:
+
+<a name="set_get"/>
+## Write and Read Cookies.
+
+To send a cookie to the client we should use the [HTTP_HEADER] class, and call ```h.put_cookie``` feature or 
+```h.put_cookie_with_expiration_date``` feature, see [How to set Cookies]() to learn the details, and the set it to response object [WSF_RESPONSE] as we saw previously. 
+
+We will show an example.
+
+To Read incomming cookies we can read all the cookies with 
+
+```
+cookies: ITERABLE [WSF_VALUE]
+			-- All cookies.
+``` 
+which return an interable of WSF_VALUE objects corresponding to the cookies the browser has associated with the web site.
+We can also check if a particular cookie by name using 
+
+```
+WSF_REQUEST.cookie (a_name: READABLE_STRING_GENERAL): detachable WSF_VALUE
+			-- Field for name `a_name'.
+``` 
+feature.
+
+
+<a name="set_cookie"/>
+### How to set Cookies
+Here we have the feature definitions to set cookies
+
+```eiffel
+deferred class interface
+	HTTP_HEADER_MODIFIER
+
+feature -- Cookie
+
+	put_cookie (key, value: READABLE_STRING_8; expiration, path, domain: detachable READABLE_STRING_8; secure, http_only: BOOLEAN)
+			-- Set a cookie on the client's machine
+			-- with key 'key' and value 'value'.
+			-- Note: you should avoid using "localhost" as `domain' for local cookies
+			--       since they are not always handled by browser (for instance Chrome)
+		require
+			make_sense: (key /= Void and value /= Void) and then (not key.is_empty and not value.is_empty)
+			domain_without_port_info: domain /= Void implies domain.index_of (':', 1) = 0
+
+	put_cookie_with_expiration_date (key, value: READABLE_STRING_8; expiration: DATE_TIME; path, domain: detachable READABLE_STRING_8; secure, http_only: BOOLEAN)
+			-- Set a cookie on the client's machine
+			-- with key 'key' and value 'value'.
+		require
+			make_sense: (key /= Void and value /= Void) and then (not key.is_empty and not value.is_empty)
+```
+
+Example of use:
+
+```eiffel
+   response_with_cookies (res: WSF_RESPONSE)
+		local
+			l_message: STRING
+			l_header: HTTP_HEADER
+			l_time: HTTP_DATE
+		do
+				create l_header.make
+				create l_time.make_now_utc
+				l_time.date_time.day_add (40)
+				l_header.put_content_type_text_html
+				l_header.put_cookie_with_expiration_date ("EWFCookie", "EXAMPLE",l_time.date_time, "/", Void, False, True)
+				res.put_header_text (l_header.string)
+				res.put_string (web_page)
+		end		
+```
+<a name="read_cookie"/>
+### How to read Cookies
+
+Reading a particular cookie
+```eiffel
+		if req.cookie ("EWFCookie") = Void then
+			do_something
+		end
+````		
+
+Reading all the cookies
+
+```Eiffel
+	across req.cookies as ic loop
+		print (ic.item.name)
+	end
+```
+
+
+<a name="examples"/>
+### Example
+The following EWF service shows a basic use of cookies. 
+	1. It display a message to first-time visitors.
+	2. Display a welcome back message if a visitor return.
+	3. A visitor page, counting the number of visits to the page (track user access counts).
+	4. A cookie with an expiration of 120 seconds.
+	5. A cookie with an session level, valid in browser session.

+An HTML Form can handle GET and POST requests.
+When we use a form with method GET, the data is attached at the end of the url for example:
+
+>http://wwww.example.com?key1=value1&...keyn=valuen
+
+If we use the method POST, the data is sent to the server in a different line.
+
+Extracting form data from the server side is one of the most tedious parts. If you do it by hand, you will need 
+to parse the input, you'll have to URL-decode the value.
+
+Here we will show you how to read input submitted by a user using a Form (GET and POST).
+ * How to handle missing values:
+   * client side validattion, server side validations, set default if it's a valid option.
+ * How to populate Eiffel objects from the request data.

+## Reading Form Data
+EWF [WSF_REQUEST]() class, provides features to handling this form parsing automatically.
+
+<a name="query"/>
+### Query Parameters
+
+	WSF_REQUEST.query_parameters: ITERABLE [WSF_VALUE]
+			-- All query parameters
+	
+	WSF_REQUEST.query_parameter (a_name: READABLE_STRING_GENERAL): detachable WSF_VALUE
+			-- Query parameter for name `a_name'.
+<a name="form"/>
+### Form Parameters
+
+	WSF_REQUEST.form_parameters: ITERABLE [WSF_VALUE]
+      			-- All form parameters sent by a POST
+      
+	WSF_REQUEST.form_parameter (a_name: READABLE_STRING_GENERAL): detachable WSF_VALUE
+			-- Field for name `a_name'.
+
+The values supplied to form_parameter and query_parameter are case sensitive.
+
+<a name="uniform"/>
+### Read Data
+The previous features, let you read the data one way for GET request and a different way for POST request. WSF_REQUEST provide a feature to read all the data in a uniform way.
+
+	WSF_REQUEST.item (a_name: READABLE_STRING_GENERAL): detachable WSF_VALUE
+			-- Variable named `a_name' from any of the variables container
+			-- and following a specific order: form_, query_ and path_ parameters
+
+So, you use **WSF_REQUEST.item** feature exactly the same way for GET and POST request.
+
+>Note: if a query parameter has the same name as a form paramenter req.item will retrieve the form paramenter. Remember the precedence: form > query > path

+## Reading Parameters and Values
+
+Suppose we have the following HTML5 form using Method POST. This HTML5 form has client side form validation using the new HTML5 attribute, you can do the same using Javascript. So in this case if the user does not fill the fields as expected the form will not be submitted to the server.
+
+>Note: You want to validate on the server side because you can protect against the malicious user, who can easily bypass your JavaScript and submit dangerous input to the server.

+### How to read all parameter names
+To read all the parameters names we simple call WSF_REQUEST.form_parameters. 
+
+```
+ req: WSF_REQUEST
+ across req.form_parameters as ic loop show_parameter_name (ic.item.key) end
+```
+<a name="single_values">
+### How to read single values
+To read a particular parameter, a single value, for example `given-name', we simple call WSF_REQUEST.form_parameter (a_name) and we check if it's attached to WSF_STRING (represents a String parameter)
+```
+  req: WSF_REQUEST 
+  if attached {WSF_STRING} req.form_paramenter ('given-name') as l_given_name then
+  	-- Work with the given parameter, for example populate an USER object
+  	-- the argument is case sensitive
+  else
+        -- Value missing, check the name against the HTML form 
+  end
+```
+<a name="multiple_values">
+### How to read multiple values
+
+To read multiple values, for example in the case of `languages', we simple call WSF_REQUEST.form_parameter (a_name) and we check if it's attached to WSF_MULTIPLE_STRING (represents a String parameter)
+
+```
+  req: WSF_REQUEST 
+  idioms: LIST[STRING]
+  	-- the argument is case sensitive
+  if attached {WSF_MULTIPLE_STRING} req.form_paramenter ('languages') as l_languages then
+  	-- Work with the given parameter, for example populate an USER object
+  	-- Get all the associated values
+  	create {ARRAYED_LIST[STRING]} idioms.make (2)
+	across l_languages as ic loop idioms.force (ic.item.value) end
+  elseif attached {WSF_STRING} req.form_paramenter ('languages') as l_language then

+        create {ARRAYED_LIST[STRING]} idioms.make (1)
+	idioms.force (l_language.value)
+  else
+  	-- Value missing 
+  end
+```
+In this case we are handling strings values, but in some cases you will need to do a conversion, betweend the strings that came from the request to map them to your domain model. 
+
+<a name="table_values">
+### How to read table values
+This is particularly useful when you have a request with the following format
+
+``` <a href="/link?tab[a]=1&tab[b]=2&tab[c]=foo"> ```
+
+To read table values, for example in the case of `tab', we simple call WSF_REQUEST.form_parameter (a_name) and we check if it's attached to WSF_TABLE.
+
+```
+if attached {WSF_TABLE} req.query_parameter ("tab") as l_tab then
+	l_parameter_names.append ("<br>")
+	l_parameter_names.append (l_tab.name)
+	from
+		l_tab.values.start
+	until
+		l_tab.values.after
+	loop
+		l_parameter_names.append ("<br>")
+		l_parameter_names.append (l_tab.values.key_for_iteration)
+		if attached {WSF_STRING} l_tab.value (l_tab.values.key_for_iteration) as l_value then
+			l_parameter_names.append ("=")
+			l_parameter_names.append (l_value.value)
+		end
+		l_tab.values.forth
+	end
+end	
+```
+
+<a name="raw_data">
+## Reading Raw Data
+You can also access the data in raw format, it means you will need to parse and url-decode it, and also you will not be able to use the previous features, by default, to enable that you need to call `req.set_raw_input_data_recorded (True)'. This feature (reading raw data) is useful if you are reading POST data with JSON or XML formats, but it's not convinient for HTML forms.
+
+To read raw data you need to do this
+
+```
+   l_raw_data:STRING
+   
+   req.set_raw_input_data_recorded (True) --
+   create l_raw_data.make_empty
+   req.read_input_data_into (l_raw_data)

+<a name=upload></a>
+## Upload Files
+How can we read data when the date come from an uploaded file/s?. 
+HTML supports a form element ```<input type="File" ... > ``` to upload a single file and ```<input type="File" ... multiplr> ``` to upload multiple files.
+
+So supose we have the following form
+
+```
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+  <head>
+    <title>EWF Handling Client Request: File Upload Example</title>
+  </head>
+  <body>
+    <h1> EWF Handling Client Request: File Upload Example</h1>  
+    <form action="/upload"  enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
+       <fieldset> 
+          <legend>Upload file/s</legend> 
+          <div> 
+              <label>File
+              <input name="file-name[]" type="file" multiple> 
+          </label>
+        <fieldset> 
+            <div> 
+              <button type=submit>Send</button> 
+            </div> 
+        </fieldset> 
+    </form> 
+  </body> 
+</html>
+```
+
+The class WSF_REQUEST has defines mechanism to work with uploaded files. We can call the query
+
+```
+WSF_REQUEST.has_uploaded_file: BOOLEAN
+      -- Has any uploaded file?
+```
+
+to check if the request form parameters has any uploaded file, and we can call the feature
+
+```
+WSF_REQUEST.uploaded_files: ITERABLE [WSF_UPLOADED_FILE]
+      -- uploaded files values
+      --| filename: original path from the user
+      --| type: content type
+      --| tmp_name: path to temp file that resides on server
+      --| tmp_base_name: basename of `tmp_name'
+      --| error: if /= 0 , there was an error : TODO ...
+      --| size: size of the file given by the http request
+```
+to iterate over the uploaded files if any, and the details in the class [WSF_UPLOADED_FILE].
+
+The following snipet code show how to work with Uploaded files using EWF [WSF_REQUEST] class, in the example
+we build a simple html answer with basic information, if there is not uploaded files, we send a 400 status code
+and a simple message.
+
+```eiffel
+
+  if  req.path_info.same_string ("/upload") then
+            -- Check if we have an uploaded file
+          if req.has_uploaded_file then
+              -- iterate over all the uploaded files
+            create l_answer.make_from_string ("<h1>Uploaded File/s</h1><br>")
+            across  req.uploaded_files as ic loop
+              l_answer.append ("<strong>FileName:</strong>")
+              l_answer.append (ic.item.filename)
+              l_answer.append ("<br><strong>Size:</strong>")
+              l_answer.append (ic.item.size.out)
+              l_answer.append ("<br>")
+            end
+            res.put_header ({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.ok, <<["Content-type","text/html"],["Content-lenght", l_answer.count.out]>>)
+            res.put_string (l_answer)
+          else
+              -- Here we should handle unexpected errors.
+            create l_answer.make_from_string ("<strong>No uploaded files</strong><br>")
+            create l_answer.append ("Back to <a href='/'>Home</a>")
+            res.put_header ({HTTP_STATUS_CODE}.bad_request, <<["Content-type","text/html"],["Content-lenght", l_answer.count.out]>>)
+            res.put_string (l_answer)
+          end
+    else
+          -- Handle error
+    end
+```

+#Handling Requests: Headers
+
+##### Introduction
+- The [HTTP request header fields (also known as "headers")](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#request.header.fields) are set by the client (usually web browser) and sent in the header of the http request text (see http protocol), as opposed to form or query parameters [Form Data]().
+- Query parameters are encoded in the URL [GET requests](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7230.html#http.message).
+- Form parameters are encoded in the request message for [POST/PUT requests.](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7230.html#http.message).
+
+A request usually includes the header fields [Accept, Accept-Encoding, Connection, Cookie, Host, Referer, and User-Agent](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#request.header), defining important information about how the server should process the request. And then, the server needs to read the request header fields to use those informations.

+
+That section explains how to read HTTP information sent by the browser via the request header fields. Mostly by defining the most important HTTP request header fields, for more information, read [HTTP 1.1 specification](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/).
+
+## Prerequisites
+The Eiffel Web Framework is using the traditional Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programming interface to access the header fields, query and form parameters.
+Among other, this means the header fields are exposed with associated CGI field names:
+- the header field name are uppercased, and any dash "-" replaced by underscore "_".
+- and also prefixed by "HTTP_" except for CONTENT_TYPE and CONTENT_LENGTH. 
+- For instance `X-Server` will be known as `HTTP_X_SERVER`.
+
+<a name="read_header"></a>
+## Reading HTTP Header fields
+EWF [WSF_REQUEST]() class provides features to access HTTP headers.
+
+Reading most headers is straightforward by calling:
+- the corresponding `http_*` functions such as `http_accept` for header "Accept".
+- or indirectly using the `meta_string_variable (a_name)` function by passing the associated CGI field name.
+In both cases, if the related header field is supplied by the request, the result is a string value, otherwise it is Void. 
+
+Note: always check if the result of those functions is non-void before using it.
+
+* Cookies:
+	- To iterate on all cookies valued, use `cookies: ITERABLE [WSF_VALUE]`
+	- To retrieve a specific cookie value,  use `cookie (a_name: READABLE_STRING_GENERAL): detachable WSF_VALUE`
+
+* Authorization
+	- To read the Authorization header, first check its type with: `auth_type: detachable READABLE_STRING_8`
+	- And its value via `http_authorization: detachable READABLE_STRING_8 --Contents of the Authorization: header from the current wgi_request, if there is one.`
+
+* Content_length
+	- If supplied, get the content length as an string value: `content_length: detachable READABLE_STRING_8`
+	- or directly as a natural value with `content_length_value: NATURAL_64` 
+
+* Content_type
+	- If supplied, get the content type as an string value with `content_type: detachable HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE`
+
+Due to CGI compliance, the original header names are not available, however the function `raw_header_data` may return the http header data as a string value (warning: this may not be available, depending on the underlying connector). Apart from very specific cases (proxy, debugging, ...), it should not be useful.
+Note: CGI variables are information about the current request (and also about the server). Some are based on the HTTP request line and headers (e.g., form parameters, query parameters), others are derived from the socket itself (e.g., the name and IP address of the requesting host), and still others are taken from server installation parameters (e.g., the mapping of URLs to actual paths). 
+
+<a name="read_line"></a>
+####Retrieve information from the Request Line
+
+For convenience, the following sections refer to a request starting with line:
+```
+GET http://eiffel.org/search?q=EiffelBase  HTTP/1.1
+```
+
+Overview of the features
+
+* HTTP method 
+	- The function `request_method: READABLE_STRING_8` gives access to the HTTP request method, (usually GET or POST in conventional Web Applications), but with the raise of REST APIs other methods are also frequently used such as HEAD, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, or TRACE. 
+	A few functions helps determining quickly the nature of the request method:
+	- `is_get_request_method: BOOLEAN -- Is Current a GET request method?`
+	- `is_put_request_method: BOOLEAN -- Is Current a PUT request method?`
+	- `is_post_request_method: BOOLEAN -- Is Current a POST request method?`
+	- `is_delete_request_method: BOOLEAN -- Is Current a DELETE request method?`
+
+	In our example the request method is `GET`
+	
+ * Query String
+ 	- The query string for the example is `q=EiffelBase`
+ 	- `query_string: READABLE_STRING_8`
+
+ * Protocol 
+ 	- The feature return the third part of the request line, which is generally HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1.
+	- `server_protocol: READABLE_STRING_8`
+    In the example the request method is `HTTP/1.1`
+
+
+<a name="understand"></a>
+#### Understanding HTTP 1.1 Request Headers
+Access to the request headers permits the web server applications or APIs to perform optimizations and provide behavior that would not be possible without them for instance such as adapting the response according to the browser preferences.
+This section summarizes the headers most often used; for more information, see the [HTTP 1.1 specification](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/), note that [RFC 2616 is dead](https://www.mnot.net/blog/2014/06/07/rfc2616_is_dead).
+
+<a name="accept"></a>
+ * [Accept](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#header.accept)
+ 	- The "Accept" header field can be used by user agents (browser or other clients) to define response media types that are acceptable. Accept header fields can be used to indicate that the request is limited to a small set of desired types, as in the case of a request for an inline image.
+ 	For example, assume an APIs Learn4Kids can respond with XML or JSON data (JSON format have some advantages over XML, readability, parsing etc...), a client can define its preference using "Accept: application/json" to request data in JSON format, or "Accept: application/xml" to get XML format. In other case the server sends a not acceptable response. Note that the client can define an ordered list of accepted content types, including "*", the client will get the response and know the content type via the response header field "Content-Type". Related [Content-Negotiation]()
+
+<a name="accept_charset"></a>
+ * [Accept-Charset](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#header.accept-charset)
+	- The "Accept-Charset" header field can be sent by a user agent (browser or other clients) to indicate which charsets are acceptable in textual response content (e.g., ISO-8859-1).
+
+<a name="accept_encoding"></a>
+ * [Accept-Encoding](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#header.accept-encoding)
+	- The "Accept-Encoding" header field can be used by user agents (browser or other clients) to indicate which response content-codings (`gzip`, `compress`) are acceptable in the response. An "identity" token is used as a synonym for "no encoding" in order to communicate when no encoding is preferred. If the server receives this header, it is free to encode the page by using one of the content-encodings specified (usually to reduce transmission time), sending the `Content-Encoding` response header to indicate that it has done so.
+
+<a name="accept_language"></a>
+ * [Accept-Language](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#header.accept-language)
+ 	- The "Accept-Language" header field can be used by user agents (browser or other client) to indicate the set of natural languages that are preferred in the response in case the server can produce representation in more than one language. The value of the header should be one of the standard language codes such as en, en-us, da, etc. See RFC 1766 for details (start at http://www.rfc-editor.org/ to get a current list of the RFC archive sites).
+
+<a name="connection"></a>
+ * [Connection](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7230.html#header.connection)
+ 	- The "Connection" header field allows the sender to indicate desired control options for the current connection, for example if it can hanlde persistent HTTP connections.
+ 	By default HTTP/1.1 uses "persistent connections", allowing multiple requests and responses to be carried over a single connection. The "close" connection option is used to signal that a connection will not persist after the current request/response.
+
+<a name="authorization"></a>
+ * [Authorization](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7235.html#header.authorization)
+ 	- The header is used by user agents to authenticate themselves when accessing password protected resources.
+
+<a name="content-length"></a>
+ * [Content-Length](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7230.html#header.content-length)
+	- For messages that includes a payload body, the Content-Length field-value provides the framing information necessary to determine where the body (and message) ends.
+
+<a name="cookie"></a>
+ * [Cookie](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc6265.html)
+	-  The Cookie header contains cookies received by the user agent in previous Set-Cookie headers. The origin server is free to ignore the Cookie header or use its contents for an application-specific purpose. (Related State Management).
+
+<a name="host"></a>
+ * [Host](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7230.html#header.host)
+ 	- The "Host" header field provides the host and port information from the target URI, enabling the origin server to distinguish among resources while serving requests for multiple host names on a single IP address. In HTTP 1.1, browsers and other clients are required to specify this header, which indicates the host and port as given in the original URL. 
+
+<a name="if-modified-since"></a>
+ * [If-Modified-Since](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7232.html#header.if-modified-since)
+	- The "If-Modified-Since" header field makes a GET or HEAD request method conditional on the selected representation's modification date being more recent than the date provided in the field-value. Transfering of the selected representation's data is avoided if that data has not changed. So, indicates that the user agents wants the page only if it has been changes after the specified date. The server sends a 304 resource not modified if not has a newer result representation available.
+
+<a name="if-unmodified-since"></a>
+ * [If-Unmodified-Since](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7232.html#header.if-unmodified-since)
+	- The "If-Unmodified-Since" header field makes the request method conditional on the selected representation's last modification date being earlier than or equal to the date provided in the field-value. The operation should succeed only if the document is older than the specified date.
+
+Generally, If-Modified-Since is used for GET requests (“give me the document only if it is newer than my cached version”), whereas If-Unmodified-Since is used for PUT requests (“update this document only if nobody else has changed it since I generated it”). 
+
+<a name="referer"></a>
+ * [Referer](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#header.referer)
+	- The "Referer" header field allows the user agent to specify a URI reference for the resource from which the target URI was obtained (i.e., the "referrer", though the field name is misspelled). A user agent MUST NOT include the fragment and userinfo components of the URI reference [RFC3986], if any, when generating the Referer field value. This header indicates the URL of the referring Web page. 
+
+For example, if you are at Web page A and click on a link to Web page B, the URL of Web page A is
+included in the Referer header when the browser requests Web page B. 
+
+<a name="user-agent"></a>
+ * [User-Agent](https://httpwg.github.io/specs/rfc7231.html#header.user-agent)
+ 	- The "User-Agent" header field contains information about the user agent of the request, which is often used by servers to help identify the scope of reported interoperability problems, to work around or tailor responses to avoid particular user agent limitations, and for analytics regarding browser or operating system use or device.
+
+**Note**: the example shows the **WSF_EXECUTION** implementation, that will be used by the service launcher.
+

+#### Building a Table of All Request Headers
+
+The following [EWF service](/doc/workbook/handling_request/headers/header_fields/application.e) code simply uses an ```html_template``` to fill a table (names and values) with all the headers fields it receives.
+
+The service accomplishes this task by calling ```req.meta_variables``` feature to get an ```ITERABLE [WSF_STRING]```, an structure that can be iterated over using ```across...loop...end```, then it checks if the name has the prefix ```HTTP_``` and if it is true, put the header name and value in a row. (the name in the left cell, the value in the right cell).
+
+The service also writes three components of the main request line (method, URI, and protocol), and also the raw header.

+
+#### Detecting Browser Types
+
+The User-Agent header identifies the specific browser/client that is sending the request. The following code shows a [EWF service](/doc/workbook/handling_request/headers/browser_name/application.e) that sends browser-specific responses.
+
+The examples uses the ideas based on the [Browser detection using the user agent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Browser_detection_using_the_user_agent) article.
+Basically the code check if the header user_agent exist and then call the ```browser_name (a_user_agent: READABLE_STRING_8): READABLE_STRING_32```
+feature to retrieve the current browser name or Unknown in other case.
