Extract parameters (GET and POST) from HTTP requests

This module is used to extract the value of GET or POST parameters from an HTTP request. The typical usage is e.g.,

:- http_handler('/register_user', register_user, []).

register_user(Request) :-
    http_parameters(Request,
                    [ name(Name, []),
                      sex(Sex, [oneof([male,female])]),
                      birth_year(BY, [between(1850,10000)])
                    ]),
    register_user(Name, Sex, BY),
    html_reply_page(title('New user added'),
                    ...).

 http_parameters(+Request, ?Parms) is det
 http_parameters(+Request, ?Parms, :Options) is det
Get HTTP GET or POST form-data, applying type validation, default values, etc. Provided options are:
attribute_declarations(:Goal)
Causes the declarations for an attributed named A to be fetched using call(Goal, A, Declarations).
form_data(-Data)
Return the data read from the GET por POST request as a list Name = Value. All data, including name/value pairs used for Parms, is unified with Data.

The attribute_declarations hook allows sharing the declaration of attribute-properties between many http_parameters/3 calls. In this form, the requested attribute takes only one argument and the options are acquired by calling the hook. For example:

    ...,
    http_parameters(Request,
                    [ sex(Sex)
                    ],
                    [ attribute_declarations(http_param)
                    ]),
    ...

                  description('Sex of the person')
