Overview

The HTTPHeader module defines methods for reading and writing HTTP headers.

It is used as a mixin by other classes, to provide hash-like access to HTTP header values. Unlike raw hash access, HTTPHeader provides access via case-insensitive keys. It also provides methods for accessing commonly-used HTTP header values in more convenient formats.

Instance Attribute Details

#chunked?Boolean (readonly)

Returns “true” if the “transfer-encoding” header is present and set to “chunked”. This is an HTTP/1.1 feature, allowing the the content to be sent in “chunks” without at the outset stating the entire content length.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/net/http/header.rb', line 313

def chunked?
  return false unless @header['transfer-encoding']
  field = self['Transfer-Encoding']
  (/(?:\A|[^\-\w])chunked(?![\-\w])/i =~ field) ? true : false
end

#connection_close?Boolean (readonly)

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/net/http/header.rb', line 466

def connection_close?
  tokens(@header['connection']).include?('close') or
  tokens(@header['proxy-connection']).include?('close')
end

#connection_keep_alive?Boolean (readonly)

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/net/http/header.rb', line 471

def connection_keep_alive?
  tokens(@header['connection']).include?('keep-alive') or
  tokens(@header['proxy-connection']).include?('keep-alive')
end

#content_length (rw)

Returns an Integer object which represents the HTTP Content-Length: header field, or nil if that field was not provided.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/net/http/header.rb', line 294

  return nil unless key?('Content-Length')
  len = self['Content-Length'].slice(/\d+/) or
      raise Net::HTTPHeaderSyntaxError, 'wrong Content-Length format'

#set_form(params, enctype = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', formopt = {})

Set a HTML form data set. params is the form data set; it is an Array of Arrays or a Hash +enctype is the type to encode the form data set. It is application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data. formopt is an optional hash to specify the detail.

boundary

the boundary of the multipart message

charset

the charset of the message. All names and the values of non-file fields are encoded as the charset.

Each item of params is an array and contains following items:

name

the name of the field

value

the value of the field, it should be a String or a File

opt

an optional hash to specify additional information

Each item is a file field or a normal field. If value is a File object or the opt have a filename key, the item is treated as a file field.

If Transfer-Encoding is set as chunked, this send the request in chunked encoding. Because chunked encoding is HTTP/1.1 feature, you must confirm the server to support HTTP/1.1 before sending it.

Example: http.set_form([[“q”, “ruby”], [“lang”, “en”]])

#set_form_data(params, sep = '&') Also known as: #form_data=

Set header fields and a body from HTML form data. params should be an Array of Arrays or a Hash containing HTML form data. Optional argument sep means data record separator.

Values are URL encoded as necessary and the content-type is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Example: http.form_data = => “ruby”, “lang” => “en” http.form_data = => [“ruby”, “perl”], “lang” => “en” http.set_form_data(=> “ruby”, “lang” => “en”, ';')

#set_range(r, e = nil) Also known as: #range=

Sets the HTTP Range: header. Accepts either a Range object as a single argument, or a beginning index and a length from that index. Example:

req.range = (0..1023)
req.set_range 0, 1023

Returns a Hash consisting of header names and array of values. e.g. => [“private”],

"content-type" => ["text/html"],
"date" => ["Wed, 22 Jun 2005 22:11:50 GMT"]</code>

      .reject {|str| str.strip.empty? }\
      .map {|tok| tok.strip.downcase }
end

#type_params

Any parameters specified for the content type, returned as a Hash. For example, a header of Content-Type: text/html; charset=EUC-JP would result in type_params returning => 'EUC-JP'
