=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The Catalyst Response.
+This is the Catalyst Response class, which provides methods for responding to
+the current client request.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 $res->body($text)
+
+ $c->response->body('Catalyst rocks!');
+
+Sets or returns the output (text or binary data).
+
+=head2 $res->content_encoding
+
+Shortcut for $res->headers->content_encoding.
-=head2 METHODS
+=head2 $res->content_length
-=head3 cookies
+Shortcut for $res->headers->content_length.
-Returns a hashref containing the cookies.
+=head2 $res->content_type
+
+Shortcut for $res->headers->content_type.
+
+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>.
+
+=head2 $res->cookies
+
+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.
$c->response->cookies->{foo} = { value => '123' };
-=head3 headers
+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.
+Possible parameters are:
+
+=over
+
+=item value
+
+=item expires
+
+=item domain
-Returns a L<HTTP::Headers> object containing the headers.
+=item path
+
+=item secure
+
+=back
+
+=head2 $res->header
+
+Shortcut for $res->headers->header.
+
+=head2 $res->headers
+
+Returns an L<HTTP::Headers> object, which can be used to set headers.
$c->response->headers->header( 'X-Catalyst' => $Catalyst::VERSION );
-=head3 output
+=head2 $res->output
+
+Alias for $res->body.
+
+=head2 $res->redirect( $url, $status )
-Contains the final output.
+Causes the response to redirect to the specified URL.
- $c->response->output('Catalyst rockz!');
+ $c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org' );
+ $c->response->redirect( 'http://slashdot.org', 307 );
-=head3 redirect
+=cut
+
+sub redirect {
+ my $self = shift;
-Contains a location to redirect to.
+ if (@_) {
+ my $location = shift;
+ my $status = shift || 302;
- $c->response->redirect('http://slashdot.org');
+ $self->location($location);
+ $self->status($status);
+ }
-=head3 status
+ return $self->location;
+}
-Contains the HTTP status.
+=head2 $res->status
+
+Sets or returns the HTTP status.
$c->response->status(404);
+
