92 Catalyst::Response - stores output responding to the current client request
99 $res->content_encoding;
100 $res->content_length;
112 This is the Catalyst Response class, which provides methods for responding to
113 the current client request. The appropriate L<Catalyst::Engine> for your environment
114 will turn the Catalyst::Response into a HTTP Response and return it to the client.
118 =head2 $res->body( $text | $fh | $iohandle_object )
120 $c->response->body('Catalyst rocks!');
122 Sets or returns the output (text or binary data). If you are returning a large body,
123 you might want to use a L<IO::Handle> type of object (Something that implements the read method
124 in the same fashion), or a filehandle GLOB. Catalyst
125 will write it piece by piece into the response.
127 =head2 $res->has_body
129 Predicate which returns true when a body has been set.
133 Alias for $res->status.
135 =head2 $res->content_encoding
137 Shortcut for $res->headers->content_encoding.
139 =head2 $res->content_length
141 Shortcut for $res->headers->content_length.
143 =head2 $res->content_type
145 Shortcut for $res->headers->content_type.
147 This value is typically set by your view or plugin. For example,
148 L<Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple> will guess the mime type based on the file
149 it found, while L<Catalyst::View::TT> defaults to C<text/html>.
153 Returns a reference to a hash containing cookies to be set. The keys of the
154 hash are the cookies' names, and their corresponding values are hash
155 references used to construct a L<CGI::Simple::Cookie> object.
157 $c->response->cookies->{foo} = { value => '123' };
159 The keys of the hash reference on the right correspond to the L<CGI::Simple::Cookie>
160 parameters of the same name, except they are used without a leading dash.
161 Possible parameters are:
181 Shortcut for $res->headers->header.
185 Returns an L<HTTP::Headers> object, which can be used to set headers.
187 $c->response->headers->header( 'X-Catalyst' => $Catalyst::VERSION );
191 Alias for $res->body.
193 =head2 $res->redirect( $url, $status )
195 Causes the response to redirect to the specified URL. The default status is
198 $c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org' );
199 $c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org', 307 );
201 This is a convenience method that sets the Location header to the
202 redirect destination, and then sets the response status. You will
203 want to C< return > or C<< $c->detach() >> to interrupt the normal
204 processing flow if you want the redirect to occur straight away.
206 B<Note:> do not give a relative URL as $url, i.e: one that is not fully
207 qualified (= C<http://...>, etc.) or that starts with a slash
208 (= C</path/here>). While it may work, it is not guaranteed to do the right
209 thing and is not a standard behaviour. You may opt to use uri_for() or
210 uri_for_action() instead.
218 my $location = shift;
219 my $status = shift || 302;
221 $self->location($location);
222 $self->status($status);
225 return $self->location;
228 =head2 $res->location
230 Sets or returns the HTTP 'Location'.
234 Sets or returns the HTTP status.
236 $c->response->status(404);
238 $res->code is an alias for this, to match HTTP::Response->code.
240 =head2 $res->write( $data )
242 Writes $data to the output stream.
244 =head2 $res->print( @data )
246 Prints @data to the output stream, separated by $,. This lets you pass
247 the response object to functions that want to write to an L<IO::Handle>.
249 =head2 $self->finalize_headers($c)
251 Writes headers to response if not already written
255 Ensures that the response is flushed and closed at the end of the
268 defined $self->write($data) or return;
271 defined $self->write($,) or return;
272 defined $self->write($_) or return;
274 defined $self->write($\) or return;
