Detailed Description

TheQ3HttpRequestHeader class contains request header information for HTTP.

This class is used in theQ3Http class to report the header information if the client requests something from the server.

HTTP requests have a method which describes the request's action. The most common requests are "GET" and "POST". In addition to the request method the header also includes a request-URI to specify the location for the method to use.

The method, request-URI and protocol-version can be set using a constructor or later usingsetRequest(). The values can be obtained usingmethod(),path(),majorVersion() andminorVersion().

This class is aQ3HttpHeader subclass so that class's functions, e.g.setValue(),value(), etc. are also available.

Q3HttpRequestHeader::Q3HttpRequestHeader()

Constructs an empty HTTP request header.

Q3HttpRequestHeader::Q3HttpRequestHeader(constQString & method, constQString & path,int majorVer = 1,int minorVer = 1)

Constructs a HTTP request header for the methodmethod, the request-URIpath and the protocol-versionmajorVer andminorVer.

Q3HttpRequestHeader::Q3HttpRequestHeader(constQ3HttpRequestHeader & header)

Constructs a copy ofheader.

Q3HttpRequestHeader::Q3HttpRequestHeader(constQString & str)

Constructs a HTTP request header from the stringstr. Thestr should consist of one or more "\r\n" delimited lines; the first line should be the request-line (format: method, space, request-URI, space HTTP-version); each of the remaining lines should have the format key, colon, space, value.

See alsomethod(),majorVersion(),minorVersion(), andsetRequest().

void Q3HttpRequestHeader::setRequest(constQString & method, constQString & path,int majorVer = 1,int minorVer = 1)

This function sets the request method tomethod, the request-URI topath and the protocol-version tomajorVer andminorVer.
