HTTP module

The HTTP module contains several basic means of communicating the upstream server and client (e.g. setting cookies and HTTP headers). TODO: add documentation for Cookie class, http.env and http.cookies.

addCookie(cookie : Cookie)

Adds the supplied cookie instance to be sent to the client.

addHeader(header : string, value : string)

Adds a header to be sent to the client. Note that the header string needs to include the colon.
Example: addHeader("Content-Type:", "text/html")

For convenience the HTTP module defines several header constants like 'header.ContentType'.

setResponseCode(code : int)

Sets the HTTP response code (e.g. 200, 404, 302, etc).

For convenience the HTTP modules defines several response code constants like 'responseCode.Found'.

redirect(url : string)

Redirects the client browser to a different URL by setting a Location: header and sending a responseCode.Found (302).
All content sent will/should be ignored by the client.

Example

module test

import http : Cookie

http.addHeader(http.header.ContentType, "text/plain")

http.setResponseCode(http.responseCode.OK)

foreach(k,v; http.env)
{
		writefln $ "{} = {}", k, v
}

writeln()

foreach(k,v; http.cookies)
{
		writefln $ "{} = {}", k, v.value
}
