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.

#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 content to be sent in “chunks” without at the outset stating the entire content length.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/net/http/header.rb', line 337

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)

# File 'lib/net/http/header.rb', line 510

def connection_close?
  token = /(?:\A|,)\s*close\s*(?:\z|,)/i
  @header['connection']&.grep(token) {return true}
  @header['proxy-connection']&.grep(token) {return true}
  false
end

#connection_keep_alive?Boolean (readonly)

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/net/http/header.rb', line 517

def connection_keep_alive?
  token = /(?:\A|,)\s*keep-alive\s*(?:\z|,)/i
  @header['connection']&.grep(token) {return true}
  @header['proxy-connection']&.grep(token) {return true}
  false
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 318

def content_length
  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 an HTML form data set.

params

The form data to set, which should be an enumerable. See below for more details.

enctype

The content type to use to encode the form submission, which should be application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data.

formopt

An options hash, supporting the following options:

:boundary

The boundary of the multipart message. If not given, a random boundary will be used.

:charset

The charset of the form submission. All field names and values of non-file fields should be encoded with this charset.

Each item of params should respond to #each and yield 2-3 arguments, or an array of 2-3 elements. The arguments yielded should be:

* The name of the field.
* The value of the field, it should be a String or a File or IO-like.
* An options hash, supporting the following options, only
  used for file uploads:
  :filename :: The name of the file to use.
  :content_type :: The content type of the uploaded file.

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

If Transfer-Encoding is set as chunked, this sends the request using chunked encoding. Because chunked encoding is HTTP/1.1 feature, you should confirm that the server supports HTTP/1.1 before using chunked encoding.

Example:

req.set_form([["q", "ruby"], ["lang", "en"]])

req.set_form({"f"=>File.open('/path/to/filename')},
             "multipart/form-data",
             charset: "UTF-8",
)

req.set_form([["f",
               File.open('/path/to/filename.bar'),
               {filename: "other-filename.foo"}
             ]],

#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”, ‘;’)

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.set_range 0, 1023
