HTTP Response handling
Description
This class handles all functionality involved in crafting a http response.
Much of the functionality is inspired by the Request class in Express.js, so
the documentation for this will
complement this document. As reqres is build on top of the
Rook specifications
the Response object can be converted to a compliant list object to be
passed on to e.g. the httpuv handler. A Response object is always created
as a response to a Request object and contains a reference to the
originating Request object. A Response is always initialized with a
404 Not Found code, an empty string as body and the Content-Type header set
to text/plain. As the Content-Type header is required for httpuv to
function, it will be inferred if missing when converting to a list. If the
body is a raw vector it will be set to application/octet-stream and
otherwise it will be set to text/plain. It is always advised to consciously
set the Content-Type header though. The only exception is when attaching a
standard file where the type is inferred from the file extension
automatically. Unless the body is a raw vector it will automatically be
converted to a character vector and collapsed to a single string with "\n"
separating the individual elements before the Response object is converted
to a list (that is, the body can exist as any type of object up until the
moment where the Response object is converted to a list). To facilitate
communication between different middleware the Response object contains
a data store where information can be stored during the lifetime of the
response.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'Response'
as.list(x, ...)
is.Response(x)
Arguments
x
A Response object
...
Ignored
Value
A rook-compliant list-response (in case of as.list()) or a logical
indicating whether the object is a Response (in case of is.Response())
Initialization
A new 'Response'-object is initialized using the new() method on the
generator:
Usage
res <- Response$new(request)
But often it will be provided by the request using the respond() method,
which will provide the response, creating one if it doesn't exist
Usage
res <- request$respond()
Arguments
request The Request object that the Response is responding to
Fields
The following fields are accessible in a Response object:
statusGets or sets the status code of the response. Is initialised
with 404L
bodySet or get he body of the response. If it is a character
vector with a single element named 'file' it will be interpreted as the
location of a file. It is better to use the file field for creating a
response referencing a file as it will automatically set the correct
headers.
fileSet or get the location of a file that should be used as the
body of the response. If the body is not referencing a file (but contains
something else) it will return NULL. The Content-Type header will
automatically be inferred from the file extension, if known. If unknown it
will defaults to application/octet-stream. If the file has no extension it
will be text/plain. Existence of the file will be checked.
typeGet or sets the Content-Type header of the response based on
a file extension or mime-type.
requestGet the original Request object that the object is
responding to.

sessionThe content of the session cookie. If session cookies has
not been activated it will be an empty write-protected list. If session
cookies are activated but the request did not contain one it will be an
empty list. The content of this field will be send encrypted as part of
the response according to the cookie settings in
$session_cookie_settings. This field is reflected in the
Request$session field and using either produces the same result

they were provided during initialisation of the request

...A range of formatters
autofailAutomatically populate the response if formatting fails
defaultThe name of the default formatter, which will be used if

limit = NULL
)
Arguments
priorityA vector of compression types ranked by the servers

uncompressible
limitThe size limit in bytes for performing compression. If
NULL then the compression_limit setting from the initialization of
the request is used
Method content_length()
Calculates the length (in bytes) of the body. This is the
number that goes into the Content-Length header. Note that the
Content-Length header is set automatically by httpuv so this method
should only be called if the response size is needed for other reasons.
Usage
Response$content_length()
Method as_list()
Converts the object to a list for further processing by
a Rook compliant server such as httpuv. Will set Content-Type header
if missing and convert a non-raw body to a single character string. Will
apply the formatter set by set_formatter() unless the body has already
been formatted. Will add a Date header if none exist.
Usage
Response$as_list()
Method as_message()
Prints a HTTP representation of the response to the output
stream.
Usage
Response$as_message()
Method encode_string()
base64-encode a string. If a key has been provided during
initialisation the string is first encrypted and the final result is a
combination of the encrypted text and the nonce, both base64 encoded and
combined with a "_".
Usage
Response$encode_string(val)
Arguments
valA single string to encrypt
Method decode_string()
base64-decodes a string. If a key has been provided during
initialisation the input is first split by "_" and then the two parts
are base64 decoded and decrypted. Otherwise the input is base64-decoded
as-is. It will always hold that
val == decode_string(encode_string(val)).
Usage
Response$decode_string(val)
Arguments
valA single string to encrypt
Method reset()
Resets the content of the response. Is mainly used by the
clear() method of the associated request, and should seldom be called
directly
Usage
Response$reset()
Method clone()
The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.
Usage
Response$clone(deep = FALSE)
Arguments
deepWhether to make a deep clone.
