Mojo::Headers(3p)

NAME
Mojo::Headers - HTTP headers

SYNOPSIS
  use Mojo::Headers;

  # Parse
  my $headers = Mojo::Headers->new;
  $headers->parse("Content-Length: 42\x0d\x0a");
  $headers->parse("Content-Type: text/html\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a");
  say $headers->content_length;
  say $headers->content_type;

  # Build
  my $headers = Mojo::Headers->new;
  $headers->content_length(42);
  $headers->content_type('text/plain');
  say $headers->to_string;

DESCRIPTION
Mojo::Headers is a container for HTTP headers, based on RFC 7230 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230> and RFC 7231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231>.

ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::Headers implements the following attributes.

  max_line_size
  my $size = $headers->max_line_size;
  $headers = $headers->max_line_size(1024);

Maximum header line size in bytes, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_MAX_LINE_SIZE" environment variable or 8192 (8KiB).

  max_lines
  my $num  = $headers->max_lines;
  $headers = $headers->max_lines(200);

Maximum number of header lines, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_MAX_LINES" environment variable or 100.

METHODS
Mojo::Headers inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

  add
  $headers = $headers->add(Foo => 'one value');
  $headers = $headers->add(Foo => 'first value', 'second value');

Add header with one or more lines.

  # "Vary: Accept
  #  Vary: Accept-Encoding"
  $headers->add(Vary => 'Accept')->add(Vary => 'Accept-Encoding')->to_string;

  append
  $headers = $headers->append(Vary => 'Accept-Encoding');

Append value to header and flatten it if necessary.

  # "Vary: Accept"
  $headers->append(Vary => 'Accept')->to_string;

  # "Vary: Accept, Accept-Encoding"
  $headers->vary('Accept')->append(Vary => 'Accept-Encoding')->to_string;

  clone
  my $clone = $headers->clone;

Return a new Mojo::Headers object cloned from these headers.

  dehop
  $headers = $headers->dehop;

Remove hop-by-hop headers that should not be retransmitted.

  every_header
  my $all = $headers->every_header('Location');

Similar to "header", but returns all headers sharing the same name as an array reference.

  # Get first header value
  say $headers->every_header('Location')->[0];

  from_hash
  $headers = $headers->from_hash({'Cookie' => 'a=b'});
  $headers = $headers->from_hash({'Cookie' => ['a=b', 'c=d']});
  $headers = $headers->from_hash({});

Parse headers from a hash reference, an empty hash removes all headers.

  header
  my $value = $headers->header('Foo');
  $headers  = $headers->header(Foo => 'one value');
  $headers  = $headers->header(Foo => 'first value', 'second value');

Get or replace the current header values.

  is_finished
  my $bool = $headers->is_finished;

Check if header parser is finished.

  is_limit_exceeded
  my $bool = $headers->is_limit_exceeded;

Check if headers have exceeded "max_line_size" or "max_lines".

  leftovers
  my $bytes = $headers->leftovers;

Get and remove leftover data from header parser.

  names
  my $names = $headers->names;

Return an array reference with all currently defined headers.

  # Names of all headers
  say for @{$headers->names};

  parse
  $headers = $headers->parse("Content-Type: text/plain\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a");

Parse formatted headers.

  remove
  $headers = $headers->remove('Foo');

Remove a header.

  to_hash
  my $single = $headers->to_hash;
  my $multi  = $headers->to_hash(1);

Turn headers into hash reference, array references to represent multiple headers with the same name are disabled by default.

  say $headers->to_hash->{DNT};

  to_string
  my $str = $headers->to_string;

Turn headers into a string, suitable for HTTP messages.
