Overview

Represents a HTTP message. A message is for a request or a response.

Request message is generated from given parameters internally so users don’t need to care about it. Response message is the instance that methods of HTTPClient returns so users need to know how to extract HTTP response data from Message.

Some attributes are only for a request or a response, not both.

How to use HTTP response message

  1. Gets response message body.

    res = clnt.get(url)
    p res.content #=> String
    
  2. Gets response status code.

    res = clnt.get(url)
    p res.status #=> 200, 501, etc. (Integer)
    
  3. Gets response header.

    res = clnt.get(url)
    res.header['set-cookie'].each do |value|
      p value
    end
    assert_equal(1, res.header['last-modified'].size)
    p res.header['last-modified'].first

.file?(obj) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the given object is a File. In HTTPClient, a file is;

  • must respond to :read for retrieving String chunks.

  • must respond to :pos and :pos= to rewind for reading. Rewinding is only needed for following HTTP redirect. Some IO impl defines :pos= but raises an Exception for pos= such as StringIO but there’s no problem as far as using it for non-following methods (get/post/etc.)

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

Sets MIME type handler.

handler must respond to :call with a single argument :path and returns a MIME type String e.g. ‘text/html’. When the handler returns nil or an empty String, ‘application/octet-stream’ is used.

When you set nil to the handler, internal_mime_type is used instead. The handler is nil by default.
