module Net::HTTPHeader

The HTTPHeader module provides access to HTTP headers.

The module is included in:

The headers are a hash-like collection of key/value pairs called fields.

Request and Response Fields

Headers may be included in:

Exactly which fields should be sent or expected depends on the host; see:

About the Examples

Examples here assume that net/http has been required (which also requires uri):

require 'net/http'

Many code examples here use these example websites:

Some examples also assume these variables:

uri = URI('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/')
uri.freeze # Examples may not modify.
hostname = uri.hostname # => "jsonplaceholder.typicode.com"
path = uri.path         # => "/"
port = uri.port         # => 443

So that example requests may be written as:

Net::HTTP.get(uri)
Net::HTTP.get(hostname, '/index.html')
Net::HTTP.start(hostname) do |http|
  http.get('/todos/1')
  http.get('/todos/2')
end

An example that needs a modified URI first duplicates uri, then modifies the duplicate:

_uri = uri.dup
_uri.path = '/todos/1'

Fields

A header field is a key/value pair.

Field Keys

A field key may be:

Examples:

req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req[:accept]  # => "*/*"
req['Accept'] # => "*/*"
req['ACCEPT'] # => "*/*"

req['accept'] = 'text/html'
req[:accept] = 'text/html'
req['ACCEPT'] = 'text/html'

Field Values

A field value may be returned as an array of strings or as a string:

The field value may be set:

Example field values:

Convenience Methods

Various convenience methods retrieve values, set values, query values, set form values, or iterate over fields.

Setters

Method []= can set any field, but does little to validate the new value; some of the other setter methods provide some validation:

Form Setters

Getters

Method [] can retrieve the value of any field that exists, but always as a string; some of the other getter methods return something different from the simple string value:

Queries

Iterators

Constants

MAX_FIELD_LENGTH
MAX_KEY_LENGTH

Public Instance Methods

[](key) click to toggle source

Returns the string field value for the case-insensitive field key, or nil if there is no such key; see Fields:

res = Net::HTTP.get_response(hostname, '/todos/1')
res['Connection'] # => "keep-alive"
res['Nosuch']     # => nil

Note that some field values may be retrieved via convenience methods; see Getters.

# File lib/net/http/header.rb, line 224
def [](key)
  a = @header[key.downcase.to_s] or return nil
  a.join(', ')
end
[]=(key, val) click to toggle source

Sets the value for the case-insensitive key to val, overwriting the previous value if the field exists; see Fields:

req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req['Accept'] # => "*/*"
req['Accept'] = 'text/html'
req['Accept'] # => "text/html"

Note that some field values may be set via convenience methods; see Setters.

# File lib/net/http/header.rb, line 240
def []=(key, val)
  unless val
    @header.delete key.downcase.to_s
    return val
  end
  set_field(key, val)
end
add_field(key, val) click to toggle source

Adds value val to the value array for field key if the field exists; creates the field with the given key and val if it does not exist. see Fields:

req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req.add_field('Foo', 'bar')
req['Foo']            # => "bar"
req.add_field('Foo', 'baz')
req['Foo']            # => "bar, baz"
req.add_field('Foo', %w[baz bam])
req['Foo']            # => "bar, baz, baz, bam"
req.get_fields('Foo') # => ["bar", "baz", "baz", "bam"]

Calls the block with each string field value:

res = Net::HTTP.get_response(hostname, '/todos/1')
res.each_value do |value|
  p value if value.start_with?('c')
end

Output:

"chunked"
"cf-q-config;dur=6.0000002122251e-06"

  end
end
fetch(key, default_val = nil) {|key| ... } → object click to toggle source
fetch(key, default_val = nil) → value or default_val

With a block, returns the string value for key if it exists; otherwise returns the value of the block; ignores the default_val; see Fields:

res = Net::HTTP.get_response(hostname, '/todos/1')

# Field exists; block not called.

  fail 'Cannot happen'
end # => "keep-alive"

# Field does not exist; block called.
res.fetch('Nosuch') do |value|
  value.downcase
end # => "nosuch"

With no block, returns the string value for key if it exists; otherwise, returns default_val if it was given; otherwise raises an exception:

res.fetch('Connection', 'Foo') # => "keep-alive"
res.fetch('Nosuch', 'Foo')     # => "Foo"
res.fetch('Nosuch')            # Raises KeyError.

end
Also aliased as: content_type=
set_form(params, enctype='application/x-www-form-urlencoded', formopt={}) click to toggle source

Stores form data to be used in a POST or PUT request.

The form data given in params consists of zero or more fields; each field is:

  • A scalar value.

  • A name/value pair.

  • An IO stream opened for reading.

Argument params should be an Enumerable (method params.map will be called), and is often an array or hash.

First, we set up a request:

_uri = uri.dup
_uri.path ='/posts'
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(_uri)

Argument params As an Array

When params is an array, each of its elements is a subarray that defines a field; the subarray may contain:

  • One string:

    req.set_form([['foo'], ['bar'], ['baz']])
    
  • Two strings:

    req.set_form([%w[foo 0], %w[bar 1], %w[baz 2]])
    
  • When argument enctype (see below) is given as 'multipart/form-data':

    • A string name and an IO stream opened for reading:

      require 'stringio'
      req.set_form([['file', StringIO.new('Ruby is cool.')]])
      
    • A string name, an IO stream opened for reading, and an options hash, which may contain these entries:

      • :filename: The name of the file to use.

      • :content_type: The content type of the uploaded file.

      Example:

      req.set_form([['file', file, {filename: "other-filename.foo"}]]

The various forms may be mixed:

req.set_form(['foo', %w[bar 1], ['file', file]])

Argument params As a Hash

When params is a hash, each of its entries is a name/value pair that defines a field:

  • The name is a string.

  • The value may be:

    • nil.

    • Another string.

    • An IO stream opened for reading (only when argument enctype – see below – is given as 'multipart/form-data').

Examples:

# Nil-valued fields.
req.set_form({'foo' => nil, 'bar' => nil, 'baz' => nil})

# String-valued fields.
req.set_form({'foo' => 0, 'bar' => 1, 'baz' => 2})

# IO-valued field.
require 'stringio'
req.set_form({'file' => StringIO.new('Ruby is cool.')})

# Mixture of fields.
req.set_form({'foo' => nil, 'bar' => 1, 'file' => file})

Optional argument enctype specifies the value to be given to field 'Content-Type', and must be one of:

  • 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' (the default).

  • 'multipart/form-data'; see RFC 7578.

Optional argument formopt is a hash of options (applicable only when argument enctype is 'multipart/form-data') that may include the following entries:

  • :boundary: The value is the boundary string for the multipart message. If not given, the boundary is a random string. See Boundary.

  • :charset: Value is the character set for the form submission. Field names and values of non-file fields should be encoded with this charset.

# File lib/net/http/header.rb, line 924

    self.content_type = enctype
  else
    raise ArgumentError, "invalid enctype: #{enctype}"
  end
end
set_form_data(params, sep = '&') click to toggle source

Sets the request body to a URL-encoded string derived from argument params, and sets request header field 'Content-Type' to 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.

The resulting request is suitable for HTTP request POST or PUT.

Argument params must be suitable for use as argument enum to URI.encode_www_form.

With only argument params given, sets the body to a URL-encoded string with the default separator '&':

req = Net::HTTP::Post.new('example.com')

req.set_form_data(q: 'ruby', lang: 'en')
req.body            # => "q=ruby&lang=en"
req['Content-Type'] # => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

req.set_form_data([['q', 'ruby'], ['lang', 'en']])
req.body            # => "q=ruby&lang=en"

req.set_form_data(q: ['ruby', 'perl'], lang: 'en')
req.body            # => "q=ruby&q=perl&lang=en"

req.set_form_data([['q', 'ruby'], ['q', 'perl'], ['lang', 'en']])
req.body            # => "q=ruby&q=perl&lang=en"

With string argument sep also given, uses that string as the separator:

req.set_form_data({q: 'ruby', lang: 'en'}, '|')
req.body # => "q=ruby|lang=en"

Net::HTTPHeader#form_data= is an alias for Net::HTTPHeader#set_form_data.

sub_type() click to toggle source

Returns the trailing (‘subtype’) part of the media type from the value of field 'Content-Type', or nil if no such field exists; see Content-Type response header:

res = Net::HTTP.get_response(hostname, '/todos/1')
res['content-type'] # => "application/json; charset=utf-8"
res.sub_type        # => "json"
# File lib/net/http/header.rb, line 738
def sub_type
  return nil unless @header['content-type']
  _, sub = *self['Content-Type'].split(';').first.to_s.split('/')
  return nil unless sub
  sub.strip
end
to_hash() click to toggle source

Returns a hash of the key/value pairs:

req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req.to_hash
# =>
{"accept-encoding"=>["gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3"],
 "accept"=>["*/*"],

 "host"=>["jsonplaceholder.typicode.com"]}
# File lib/net/http/header.rb, line 477
def to_hash
  @header.dup
end
type_params() click to toggle source

Returns the trailing (‘parameters’) part of the value of field 'Content-Type', or nil if no such field exists; see Content-Type response header:

res = Net::HTTP.get_response(hostname, '/todos/1')
res['content-type'] # => "application/json; charset=utf-8"
res.type_params     # => {"charset"=>"utf-8"}
# File lib/net/http/header.rb, line 753
def type_params
  result = {}
  list = self['Content-Type'].to_s.split(';')
  list.shift
  list.each do |param|
    k, v = *param.split('=', 2)
    result[k.strip] = v.strip
