bokeh.server.util

Provide some utility functions useful for implementing different components in bokeh.server.

bind_sockets(address, port)[source]

Bind a socket to a port on an address.

Parameters

  • address (str) – An address to bind a port on, e.g. "localhost"

  • port (int) –

    A port number to bind.

    Pass 0 to have the OS automatically choose a free port.

This function returns a 2-tuple with the new socket as the first element, and the port that was bound as the second. (Useful when passing 0 as a port number to bind any free port.)

Returns

(socket, port)

check_allowlist(host, allowlist)[source]

Check a given request host against a allowlist.

Parameters

  • host (str) –

    A host string to compare against a allowlist.

    If the host does not specify a port, then ":80" is implicitly assumed.

  • allowlist (seq[str]) – A list of host patterns to match against

Returns

True, if host matches any pattern in allowlist, otherwise False

create_hosts_allowlist(host_list, port)[source]

This allowlist can be used to restrict websocket or other connections to only those explicitly originating from approved hosts.

Parameters

  • host_list (seq[str]) –

    A list of string <name> or <name>:<port> values to add to the allowlist.

    If no port is specified in a host string, then ":80" is implicitly assumed.

  • port (int) –

    If host_list is empty or None, then the allowlist will be the single item list `` [ ‘localhost:<port>’ ]``

    If host_list is not empty, this parameter has no effect.

Returns

list[str]

Raises

ValueError, if host or port values are invalid –

Note

If any host in host_list contains a wildcard * a warning will be logged regarding permissive websocket connections.

match_host(host, pattern)[source]

Match a host string against a pattern

Parameters

  • host (str) – A hostname to compare to the given pattern

  • pattern (str) – A string representing a hostname pattern, possibly including wildcards for ip address octets or ports.

This function will return True if the hostname matches the pattern, including any wildcards. If the pattern contains a port, the host string must also contain a matching port.

Returns

bool
