QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(const QByteArray &mimeType, QByteArray &&data, QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(const QByteArray &mimeType, const QByteArray &data, QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Creates a QHttpServer response.

The response will use the given status code and deliver the data as its body, with a ContentType header describing it as being of MIME type mimeType.

QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode statusCode)

Creates a QHttpServerResponse object with the status code statusCode.

QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(QByteArray &&data, QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Move-constructs a QHttpServerResponse whose body will contain the given data with the status code status.

QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(const QByteArray &data, QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Creates a QHttpServerResponse object from data with the status code status.

QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(const QJsonArray &data, QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Creates a QHttpServerResponse object from data with the status code status.

QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(const QJsonObject &data, QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Creates a QHttpServerResponse object from data with the status code status.

QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(const QString &data, QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Creates a QHttpServerResponse object from data with the status code status.

QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(const char *data, QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Creates a QHttpServerResponse object from data with the status code status.

[noexcept] QHttpServerResponse::QHttpServerResponse(QHttpServerResponse &&other)

Move-constructs a new QHttpServerResponse from other.

[noexcept] QHttpServerResponse::~QHttpServerResponse()

Destroys a QHttpServerResponse object.

QByteArray QHttpServerResponse::data() const

Returns the response body.

[static] QHttpServerResponse QHttpServerResponse::fromFile(const QString &fileName)

Returns a QHttpServerResponse from the content of the file fileName.

It is the caller's responsibility to sanity-check the filename, and to have a well-defined policy for which files the server will request.

[since 6.8] QHttpHeaders QHttpServerResponse::headers() const

Returns the currently set HTTP headers.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.8.

See also setHeaders().

QByteArray QHttpServerResponse::mimeType() const

Returns the value of the HTTP "Content-Type" header.

Note: Default value is "text/html"

[since 6.8] void QHttpServerResponse::setHeaders(QHttpHeaders &&newHeaders)

Sets newHeaders as the HTTP headers, overriding any previously set headers.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.8.

See also headers().

[since 6.8] void QHttpServerResponse::setHeaders(const QHttpHeaders &newHeaders)

This is an overloaded function.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.8.

QHttpServerResponse::StatusCode QHttpServerResponse::statusCode() const

Returns the status code.

[noexcept] void QHttpServerResponse::swap(QHttpServerResponse &other)

Swaps this QHttpServerResponse with other. This operation is very fast and never fails.

[noexcept] QHttpServerResponse &QHttpServerResponse::operator=(QHttpServerResponse &&other)

Move-assigns other to this QHttpServerResponse instance.
