DESCRIPTION

This is the Catalyst Response class, which provides methods for responding to the current client request.

METHODS

$res->body($text)

    $c->response->body('Catalyst rocks!');

Sets or returns the output (text or binary data).

$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::Cookie object.

    $c->response->cookies->{foo} = { value => '123' };

The keys of the hash reference on the right correspond to the CGI::Cookie parameters of the same name, except they are used without a leading dash. Possible parameters are:

value

expires

domain

path

secure

$res->header

Shortcut for $res->headers->header.

$res->headers

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.

    $c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org' );
    $c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org', 307 );

$res->status

Sets or returns the HTTP status.

    $c->response->status(404);
    

$res->write( $data )

Writes $data to the output stream.
