Class Method Details

.[](headers) ⇒ Headers

Construct an instance from a headers Array or Hash. No-op if already an instance of ‘Headers`. If the underlying array is frozen, it will be duped.

Returns:

  • (Headers) —

#trailer!(&block) ⇒ Object

Record the current headers, and prepare to add trailers.

This method is typically used after headers are sent to capture any additional headers which should then be sent as trailers.

A sender that intends to generate one or more trailer fields in a message should generate a trailer header field in the header section of that message to indicate which fields might be present in the trailers.
