NAME

UniEvent::HTTP::Response - HTTP client response class

SYNOPSIS

http_request({
    uri => "http://example.com",
    response_callback => sub {
        my ($request, $response, $error) = @_;
        say $response->code;
        say $response->message;
        say $response->body;
        say Dumper($response->headers);
        say Dumper($response->cookies);
        ...
    },
});

my $response = http_request_sync($request);
say $response->body;
...

DESCRIPTION

Objects of UniEvent::HTTP::Response represent http response on client side and are passed to request callbacks. Normally, response objects are not created by user, instead a response object is created automatically when parsing response. You can customize how response object is created via response_factory(), see UniEvent::HTTP::Request.

UniEvent::HTTP::Response inherits from Protocol::HTTP::Response. So for complete documenation you need to also read Protocol::HTTP::Response's docs.

See detailed description in corresponding method docs.

METHODS

All methods of Protocol::HTTP::Response also apply.

new()

Constructs a response object.

NOTE: If you create your own response class inherited from UniEvent::HTTP::Response, you must proxy to original new() method and use its result as the object you return. By default it is a reference to undef, you can upgrade it to hash-based object via XS::Framework::obj2hv:

package MyResponse;
use parent 'UniEvent::HTTP::Response';

sub new {
    my $self = shift->SUPER::new();
    XS::Framework::obj2hv($self);
    $self->{prop} = "val";
    return $self;
}

...
$request->response_factory(sub { MyResponse->new });

is_done()

Returns true if response has been fully received including the whole body. This method can return false in partial_callback (see UniEvent::HTTP::Request) or if an error occurs.
