Detailed Description

An HTTP client message (request or response).

This class implements a message that is sent or received by the HTTP Client.

It is not to be confused with Request and Response, which are involved in the web application server handling.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Wt::Http::Message::Message ( )

Constructor.

This creates an empty message, with an invalid status (-1), no headers and an empty body.

Wt::Http::Message::Message ( std::vector< Header > headers )

Constructor.

This creates an empty message, with an invalid status (-1), an empty body and the given headers.

void Wt::Http::Message::addBodyText ( const std::string & text )

Concatenates body text.

Adds the text to the message body.

void Wt::Http::Message::addHeader	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	value
	)

Adds a header value.

A header is added, even if a header with the same name already was present. This is allowed by HTTP only for certain headers (e.g. Set-Cookie).

std::string Wt::Http::Message::body ( ) const

Returns the body text.

const std::string * Wt::Http::Message::getHeader ( const std::string & name ) const

Returns a header value.

Returns 0 if no header with that name is found.

void Wt::Http::Message::setHeader	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	value
	)

Sets a header value.

If a header with that value was already defined, it is replaced with the new value. Otherwise, the header is added.

void Wt::Http::Message::setStatus ( int status )

Sets the status code.

Note: This method is probably not useful to you, since for a request it is ignored, and for a response it is set by the client.

int Wt::Http::Message::status ( ) const

Returns the status code.

This returns the HTTP status code of a response message. Typical values are 200 (OK) or 404 (Not found).
