The HTTPHeader module defines methods for reading and writing HTTP headers.
It is used as a mixin by other classes, to provide hash-like access to HTTP header values. Unlike raw hash access, HTTPHeader provides access via case-insensitive keys. It also provides methods for accessing commonly-used HTTP header values in more convenient formats.
Returns the header field corresponding to the case-insensitive key. For example, a key of “Content-Type” might return “text/html”
# File net/http/header.rb, line 37 def [](key) a = @header[key.downcase.to_s] or return nil a.join(', ') end
Sets the header field corresponding to the case-insensitive key.
# File net/http/header.rb, line 43 def []=(key, val) unless val @header.delete key.downcase.to_s return val end set_field(key, val) end
Adds a value to a named header field, instead of replacing its value.
Second argument val
must be a String. See also []=, [] and get_fields.
