class HTTP::Server::Response

Overview

The response to configure and write to in an HTTP::Server handler.

The response #status_code and #headers must be configured before writing the response body. Once response output is written, changing the status and #headers properties has no effect.

The HTTP::Server::Response is a write-only IO, so all IO methods are available in it.

A response can be upgraded with the #upgrade method. Once invoked, headers are written and the connection IO (a socket) is yielded to the given block. The block must invoke #close afterwards, the server won't do it in this case. This is useful to implement protocol upgrades, such as websockets.

Instance Method Detail

def close #

Closes this response, writing headers and body if not done yet. This method must be implemented if wrapping the response output.


[View source]
def content_length=(content_length : Int) #

Convenience method to set the Content-Length header.


[View source]
def content_type=(content_type : String) #

Convenience method to set the Content-Type header.


[View source]
def cookies #

Convenience method to set cookies, see HTTP::Cookies.


[View source]
def flush #

Flushes the output. This method must be implemented if wrapping the response output.


[View source]
def headers : HTTP::Headers #

The response headers (HTTP::Headers). These must be set before writing to the response.


[View source]
def output : IO #

def output=(output : IO) #

def status_code : Int32 #

def status_code=(status_code : Int32) #

def upgrade(&block) #

Upgrades this response, writing headers and yieling the connection IO (a socket) to the given block. The block must invoke #close afterwards, the server won't do it in this case. This is useful to implement protocol upgrades, such as websockets.


[View source]
def version : String #

The version of the HTTP::Request that created this response.
