## Detailed Description

the base class for handling HTTP chunked requests and responses within the RestHandler infrastructure

## Member Function Documentation

## getResponseHeaderMessageImpl()

hash<HttpServer::HttpHandlerResponseInfo> RestHandler::RestStreamRequest::getResponseHeaderMessageImpl | ( |  | ) |

protected

Returns
  a HttpHandlerResponseInfo hash with the following keys:
  - `"code"`: the HTTP return code (see HttpServer::HttpCodes)
  - `"body"`: the message body to return in the response; if this key is returned, then the reply is sent immediately; a chunked reply is not made, and send() and sendImpl() are not called
  - `"close"`: (optional) set this key to True if the connection should be unconditionally closed when the handler returns
  - `"hdr"`: (optional) set this key to a hash of extra header information to be returned with the response

Note
  this method is called after the message body has been received

## recvImpl()

nothing RestHandler::RestStreamRequest::recvImpl | ( | hash< auto > | v | ) |

protected

callback method for receiving chunked data; this calls RestHandler::AbstractRestStreamRequestHandler::recv() with the argument

Parameters

  v

  the first time this method is called with a hash of the message headers in the `"hdr"` key, and then with any message body in the `"data"`; if a chunked HTTP message is received, then this method is called once for each chunk; when the message has been received, then this method is called with a hash representing any trailer data received in a chunked transfer or NOTHING if the data was received in a normal message body or if there was no trailer data in a chunked transfer. The argument to this callback is always a hash; data calls have the following keys:
  - `"data"`: the string or binary data, or, in the case of a non-chunked request, the already decoded and deserialized request body, in which case the `"deserialized"` key will be True
  - `"chunked"`: True if the data was received with chunked transfer encoding, False if not
  - `"deserialized"`: present and set to True if a non-chunked request was received, and the body has already been deserialized
  Header or trailer data is placed in a hash with the following keys:
  - `"hdr"`: this can be assigned to NOTHING for the trailer hash if the data was not sent chunked or no trailers were included in a chunked message
  - `"obj"`: this is the owning object (so socket parameters can be changed based on headers received, such as, for example, socket character encoding)

## sendImpl()

auto RestHandler::RestStreamRequest::sendImpl | ( |  | ) |

protected

callback method for sending chunked data; this calls RestHandler::AbstractRestStreamRequestHandler::send() and returns the result

Returns
  The chunked HTTP data to send; this method must return either a string or a binary value each time it is called to give the chunked data to send; when all data has been sent, then a hash of message trailers can be returned or simply NOTHING which will close the chunked message
