NAME

Mojo::Headers − HTTP headers

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Headers;
# Parse
my $headers = Mojo::Headers−>new;
$headers−>parse("Content−Length: 42\x0d\x0a");
$headers−>parse("Content−Type: text/html\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a");
say $headers−>content_length;
say $headers−>content_type;
# Build
my $headers = Mojo::Headers−>new;
$headers−>content_length(42);
$headers−>content_type('text/plain');
say $headers−>to_string;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Headers is a container for HTTP headers, based on RFC 7230 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230> and RFC 7231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231>.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::Headers implements the following attributes.

max_line_size

my $size = $headers−>max_line_size;
$headers = $headers−>max_line_size(1024);

Maximum header line size in bytes, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_MAX_LINE_SIZE" environment variable or 8192 (8KiB).

max_lines

my $num = $headers−>max_lines;
$headers = $headers−>max_lines(200);

Maximum number of header lines, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_MAX_LINES" environment variable or 100.

METHODS

Mojo::Headers inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

add

$headers = $headers−>add(Foo => 'one value');
$headers = $headers−>add(Foo => 'first value', 'second value');

Add header with one or more lines.

# "Vary: Accept
# Vary: Accept−Encoding"
$headers−>add(Vary => 'Accept')−>add(Vary => 'Accept−Encoding')−>to_string;

append

$headers = $headers−>append(Vary => 'Accept−Encoding');

Append value to header and flatten it if necessary.

# "Vary: Accept"
$headers−>append(Vary => 'Accept')−>to_string;
# "Vary: Accept, Accept−Encoding"
$headers−>vary('Accept')−>append(Vary => 'Accept−Encoding')−>to_string;

clone

my $clone = $headers−>clone;

Return a new Mojo::Headers object cloned from these headers.

dehop

$headers = $headers−>dehop;

Remove hop-by-hop headers that should not be retransmitted.

every_header

my $all = $headers−>every_header('Location');

Similar to "header", but returns all headers sharing the same name as an array reference.

# Get first header value
say $headers−>every_header('Location')−>[0];

from_hash

$headers = $headers−>from_hash({'Cookie' => 'a=b'});
$headers = $headers−>from_hash({'Cookie' => ['a=b', 'c=d']});
$headers = $headers−>from_hash({});

Parse headers from a hash reference, an empty hash removes all headers.

header

my $value = $headers−>header('Foo');
$headers = $headers−>header(Foo => 'one value');
$headers = $headers−>header(Foo => 'first value', 'second value');

Get or replace the current header values.

is_finished

my $bool = $headers−>is_finished;

Check if header parser is finished.

is_limit_exceeded

my $bool = $headers−>is_limit_exceeded;

Check if headers have exceeded "max_line_size" or "max_lines".

leftovers

my $bytes = $headers−>leftovers;

Get and remove leftover data from header parser.

names

my $names = $headers−>names;

Return an array reference with all currently defined headers.

# Names of all headers
say for @{$headers−>names};

parse

$headers = $headers−>parse("Content−Type: text/plain\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a");

Parse formatted headers.

remove

$headers = $headers−>remove('Foo');

Remove a header.

to_hash

my $single = $headers−>to_hash;
my $multi = $headers−>to_hash(1);

Turn headers into hash reference, array references to represent multiple headers with the same name are disabled by default.

say $headers−>to_hash−>{DNT};

to_string

my $str = $headers−>to_string;

Turn headers into a string, suitable for HTTP messages.
