Superclass: Object

Defines how an HTTP request is handled internally, both in terms of making attributes accessible, as well as maintaining the state machine which manages streaming the request onto the wire.

Classes and Modules

  1. HTTPX::Request::Body

Constants

USER_AGENT = "httpx.rb/#{VERSION}"  

default value used for “user-agent” header, when not overridden.

Attributes

body [R]

an HTTPX::Request::Body object containing the request body payload (or nil, whenn there is none).

drain_error [R]

Exception raised during enumerable body writes.

headers [R]

an HTTPX::Headers object containing the request HTTP headers.

options [R]

an HTTPX::Options object containing request options.

peer_address [RW]

The IP address from the peer server.

persistent [W]
response [R]

the corresponding HTTPX::Response object, when there is one.

state [R]

a symbol describing which frame is currently being flushed.

uri [R]

the absolute URI object for this request.

verb [R]

the upcased string HTTP verb for this request.

Public Class methods

new(verb, uri, options, params = EMPTY_HASH)

initializes the instance with the given verb (an upppercase String, ex. ‘GEt’), an absolute or relative uri (either as String or URI::HTTP object), the request options (instance of HTTPX::Options) and an optional Hash of params.

Besides any of the options documented in HTTPX::Options (which would override or merge with what options sets), it accepts also the following:

:params

hash or array of key-values which will be encoded and set in the query string of request uris.

:body

to be encoded in the request body payload. can be a String, an IO object (i.e. a File), or an Enumerable.

:form

hash of array of key-values which will be form-urlencoded- or multipart-encoded in requests body payload.

:json

hash of array of key-values which will be JSON-encoded in requests body payload.

:xml

Nokogiri XML nodes which will be encoded in requests body payload.

:body, :form, :json and :xml are all mutually exclusive, i.e. only one of them gets picked up.
