$res->headers;
$res->output;
$res->redirect;
$res->status;
$res->write;
DESCRIPTION¶
This is the Catalyst Response class, which provides methods for responding to
the current client request. The appropriate Catalyst::Engine for your
environment will turn the Catalyst::Response into a HTTP Response and return
it to the client.
METHODS¶
$res->body( $text | $fh | $iohandle_object )¶
$c->response->body('Catalyst rocks!');
Sets or returns the output (text or binary data). If you are returning a large
body, you might want to use a IO::Handle type of object (Something that
implements the read method in the same fashion), or a filehandle GLOB.
Catalyst will write it piece by piece into the response.
$res->has_body¶
Predicate which returns true when a body has been set.
$res->code¶
Alias for $res->status.
$res->content_encoding¶
Shortcut for $res->headers->content_encoding.
$res->content_length¶
Shortcut for $res->headers->content_length.
$res->content_type¶
Shortcut for $res->headers->content_type.
This value is typically set by your view or plugin. For example,
Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple will guess the mime type based on the file it
found, while Catalyst::View::TT defaults to "text/html".
$res->cookies¶
Returns a reference to a hash containing cookies to be set. The keys of the hash
are the cookies' names, and their corresponding values are hash references
used to construct a CGI::Simple::Cookie object.
$c->response->cookies->{foo} = { value => '123' };
The keys of the hash reference on the right correspond to the
CGI::Simple::Cookie parameters of the same name, except they are used without
a leading dash. Possible parameters are:
- value
- expires
- domain
- path
- secure
- httponly
Shortcut for $res->headers->header.
Returns an HTTP::Headers object, which can be used to set headers.
$c->response->headers->header( 'X-Catalyst' => $Catalyst::VERSION );
$res->output¶
Alias for $res->body.
$res->redirect( $url, $status )¶
Causes the response to redirect to the specified URL. The default status is 302.
$c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org' );
$c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org', 307 );
This is a convenience method that sets the Location header to the redirect
destination, and then sets the response status. You will want to " return
" or "$c->detach()" to interrupt the normal processing flow
if you want the redirect to occur straight away.
Note: do not give a relative URL as $url, i.e: one that is not fully
qualified (= "
http://...", etc.) or that starts with a slash (=
"/path/here"). While it may work, it is not guaranteed to do the
right thing and is not a standard behaviour. You may opt to use
uri_for() or
uri_for_action() instead.
$res->location¶
Sets or returns the HTTP 'Location'.
$res->status¶
Sets or returns the HTTP status.
$c->response->status(404);
$res->code is an alias for this, to match HTTP::Response->code.
$res->write( $data )¶
Writes $data to the output stream.
$res->print( @data )¶
Prints @data to the output stream, separated by $,. This lets you pass the
response object to functions that want to write to an IO::Handle.
Writes headers to response if not already written
DEMOLISH¶
Ensures that the response is flushed and closed at the end of the request.
