=head1 NAME
-Catalyst::Response - Catalyst Response Class
+Catalyst::Response - stores output responding to the current client request
=head1 SYNOPSIS
$res->status;
$res->write;
-See also L<Catalyst::Application>.
-
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This is the Catalyst Response class, which provides a set of accessors
-to response data.
+This is the Catalyst Response class, which provides methods for responding to
+the current client request. The appropriate L<Catalyst::Engine> for your environment
+will turn the Catalyst::Response into a HTTP Response and return it to the client.
=head1 METHODS
-=over 4
-
-=item $res->body($text)
+=head2 $res->body(<$text|$fh|$iofh_object)
$c->response->body('Catalyst rocks!');
-Contains the final output.
+Sets or returns the output (text or binary data). If you are returning a large body,
+you might want to use a L<IO::FileHandle> type of object (Something that implements the read method
+in the same fashion), or a filehandle GLOB. Catalyst
+will write it piece by piece into the response.

-=item $res->content_length
+=head2 $res->content_length
-Shortcut to $res->headers->content_length

-=item $res->content_type
+=head2 $res->content_type
-Shortcut to $res->headers->content_type
+Shortcut for $res->headers->content_type.
-=item $res->cookies
+This value is typically set by your view or plugin. For example,
+L<Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple> will guess the mime type based on the file
+it found, while L<Catalyst::View::TT> defaults to C<text/html>.
-Returns a reference to a hash containing the cookies to be set. The keys of the
-hash are the cookies' names, and their corresponding values are hash references
-used to construct L<CGI::Cookie> object.
+=head2 $res->cookies
- $c->response->cookies->{foo} = { value => '123' };
+Returns a reference to a hash containing cookies to be set. The keys of the
+hash are the cookies' names, and their corresponding values are hash
+references used to construct a L<CGI::Cookie> object.
-The values correspond to the L<CGI::Cookie> parameters of the same name, except
-they are used without a leading dash.

+The keys of the hash reference on the right correspond to the L<CGI::Cookie>
+parameters of the same name, except they are used without a leading dash.
