25 This is the Catalyst Response class, which provides methods for
26 responding to the current client request. The appropriate
27 Catalyst::Engine for your environment will turn the Catalyst::Response
28 into a HTTP Response and return it to the client.
29
31 $res->body( $text | $fh | $iohandle_object )
32 $c->response->body('Catalyst rocks!');
33
34 Sets or returns the output (text or binary data). If you are returning
35 a large body, you might want to use a IO::Handle type of object
36 (Something that implements the read method in the same fashion), or a
37 filehandle GLOB. Catalyst will write it piece by piece into the
38 response.
39
40 $res->has_body
41 Predicate which returns true when a body has been set.
42
43 $res->code
44 Alias for $res->status.
45
46 $res->content_encoding
47 Shortcut for $res->headers->content_encoding.
48
49 $res->content_length
50 Shortcut for $res->headers->content_length.
51
52 $res->content_type
53 Shortcut for $res->headers->content_type.
54
55 This value is typically set by your view or plugin. For example,
56 Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple will guess the mime type based on the
57 file it found, while Catalyst::View::TT defaults to "text/html".
58
59 $res->cookies
60 Returns a reference to a hash containing cookies to be set. The keys of
61 the hash are the cookies' names, and their corresponding values are
62 hash references used to construct a CGI::Simple::Cookie object.
63
64 $c->response->cookies->{foo} = { value => '123' };
65
66 The keys of the hash reference on the right correspond to the
67 CGI::Simple::Cookie parameters of the same name, except they are used
68 without a leading dash. Possible parameters are:
69
70 value
71 expires
72 domain
73 path
74 secure
75 httponly
76
77 $res->header
78 Shortcut for $res->headers->header.
79
80 $res->headers
81 Returns an HTTP::Headers object, which can be used to set headers.
82
83 $c->response->headers->header( 'X-Catalyst' => $Catalyst::VERSION );
84
85 $res->output
86 Alias for $res->body.
87
88 $res->redirect( $url, $status )
89 Causes the response to redirect to the specified URL. The default
90 status is 302.
91
92 $c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org' );
93 $c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org', 307 );
94
95 This is a convenience method that sets the Location header to the
96 redirect destination, and then sets the response status. You will want
97 to " return " or "$c->detach()" to interrupt the normal processing flow
98 if you want the redirect to occur straight away.
99
100 $res->location
101 Sets or returns the HTTP 'Location'.
102
103 $res->status
104 Sets or returns the HTTP status.
105
106 $c->response->status(404);
107
108 $res->code is an alias for this, to match HTTP::Response->code.
109
110 $res->write( $data )
111 Writes $data to the output stream.
112
113 meta
114 Provided by Moose
115
116 $res->print( @data )
117 Prints @data to the output stream, separated by $,. This lets you pass
118 the response object to functions that want to write to an IO::Handle.
