Methods
| ~HttpResponse | ||
| addCookie overload | Add a cookie. | |
| addHeader overload | Set the header string identified by the field parameter. | |
| as | This template enables explicit type conversion, see the above template. | |
| body | Get the response body. | |
| clear | Reset the reponse object to its initial state. | |
| contentType | Get the response content type. | |
| contentTypeString | Rreturns the content type associated with the response. | |
| cookies | Get all cookies. | |
| creationDate | Get the creation timestamp of the response. | |
| expiredTime | Get the expiration time of the response. | |
| getBody | Get the response body. | |
| getContentType | ||
| getCookie | Get the cookie identified by the key parameter | |
| getCookies | Get all cookies. | |
| getCreationDate | ||
| getExpiredTime | ||
| getHeader | Get the header string identified by the key parameter. | |
| getHeaders | Get all headers of the response. | |
| getJsonError | Get the error message of parsing the JSON body received from peer. This method usually is called after getting a empty shared_ptr object by the getJsonObject() method. | |
| getJsonObject | ||
| getStatusCode | Mentioned in
| |
| getVersion | Return the enum type version of the response. | |
| getVersionString | ||
| headers | Get all headers of the response. | |
| ifCloseConnection | Get the status set by the setCloseConnetion() method. | |
| jsonObject | Get the json object from the server response | |
| newCustomHttpResponse | Create a custom HTTP response object. For using this template, users must specialize the toResponse template. | |
| newFileResponse overload | Create a response that returns a file to the client. | |
| newFileResponse overload | Create a response that returns part of a file to the client. | |
| newFileResponse overload | Create a response that returns a file to the client from buffer in memory/stack | |
| newHttpJsonResponse overload | Create a response which returns a json object | |
| newHttpResponse | Create a normal response with a status code of 200ok and a content type of text/html. | |
| newHttpViewResponse | Create a response that returns a page rendered by a view named viewName. | |
| newNotFoundResponse | Create a response which returns a 404 page. | |
| newRedirectionResponse | Create a response that returns a redirection page, redirecting to another page located in the location parameter. | |
| operator T | This template enables automatic type conversion. For using this template, user must specialize the fromResponse template. For example a shared_ptr<Json::Value> specialization version is available above, so we can use the following code to get a json object: | |
| removeCookie | Remove the cookie identified by the key parameter. | |
| removeHeader | Remove the header identified by the key parameter. | |
| sendfileName | If the response is a file response (i.e. created by newFileResponse) returns the path on the filesystem. Otherwise a empty string. | |
| sendfileRange | ||
| setBody overload | Set the response body(content). | |
| setCloseConnection | Set if close the connection after the request is sent. | |
| setContentTypeCode | Set the response content type, such as text/html, text/plaint, image/png and so on | |
| setContentTypeCodeAndCustomString overload | Set the response content type and the content-type string, The string may contain the header name and CRLF | |
| setContentTypeString | Set the content-type string, The string may contain the header name and CRLF | |
| setCustomStatusCode | ||
| setExpiredTime | Set the expiration time of the response cache in memory | |
| setPassThrough | Set the reponse object to the pass-through mode or not. It's not by default when a new response object is created. In pass-through mode, no addtional headers (including server, date, content-type and content-length, etc.) are added to the response. This mode is useful for some applications such as a proxy. | |
| setStatusCode | Set the status code of the response. | |
| setVersion | Set the http version, http1.0 or http1.1. | |
| statusCode | Get the status code such as 200, 404. | |
| version | Return the enum type version of the response. | |
| versionString | Return the string of http version of request, such as HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1, etc. |
