NAME

OpenPlugin::HttpHeader - Represent the incoming and outgoing HTTP headers for a request

SYNOPSIS

 @incoming_headers = $OP->httpheader->get_incoming();

 $header_value = $OP->httpheader->get_incoming( 'Content-Type' );

 $OP->httpheader->set_outgoing({ 'foo' => 'bar });

 $OP->httpheader->send_outgoing();

DESCRIPTION

The HttpHeader plugin offers an interface to retrieve headers sent from the browser to the server, and to send headers back to the browser.

METHODS

set_incoming( $name = $value )>

Sets all incoming parameters. This is normally called only by the particular Header driver, and not by an application.

get_incoming( [ $name ] )

get( [ $name ] )

Called by itself, get_incoming returns a list of header names which the browser sent to us during the last request.

Called with the optional name parameter, get_incoming returns the value for that particular header.

set_outgoing( $key = $value )>

set( $key = $value )>

Set $key to $value.

To clear an outgoing header value, use undef for the value:

 $header->set_outgoing( 'Content-Type', undef );

get_outgoing()

Returns a list of outgoing keys and values. A value may be an arrayref. (SEE ABOVE)

send_outgoing()

send()

Sends the outgoing HTTP headers.

This function checks to see if there are any cookies to be sent whenever it is called.

BUGS

None known.

TO DO
