Module: Net::HTTPHeader

Included in:
HTTPGenericRequest, HTTPResponse
Defined in:
lib/net/http.rb

Overview

Header module.

Provides access to @header in the mixed-into class as a hash-like object, except with case-insensitive keys. Also provides methods for accessing commonly-used header values in a more convenient format.

Instance Method Details

#[](key) ⇒ Object

Returns the header field corresponding to the case-insensitive key. For example, a key of "Content-Type" might return "text/html"

1157
# File 'lib/net/http.rb', line 1154

def [](key)
  a = @header[key.downcase] or return nil
  a.join(', ')
end

#[]=(key, val) ⇒ Object

Sets the header field corresponding to the case-insensitive key.

    return val
  end
  @header[key.downcase] = [val]
end

#add_field(key, val) ⇒ Object

Ruby 1.8.3

Adds header field instead of replace. Second argument val must be a String. See also #[]=, #[] and #get_fields.

request.add_field 'X-My-Header', 'a'
p request['X-My-Header']              #=> "a"
p request.get_fields('X-My-Header')   #=> ["a"]
request.add_field 'X-My-Header', 'b'
p request['X-My-Header']              #=> "a, b"
p request.get_fields('X-My-Header')   #=> ["a", "b"]
request.add_field 'X-My-Header', 'c'
p request['X-My-Header']              #=> "a, b, c"
p request.get_fields('X-My-Header')   #=> ["a", "b", "c"]
