HttpResponse Delphi DLL Reference Documentation

HttpResponse

Current Version: 10.0.0

Represents a complete HTTP response.

Create/Dispose

var
myObject: HCkHttpResponse;

begin
myObject := CkHttpResponse_Create();

// ...

CkHttpResponse_Dispose(myObject);
end;
function CkHttpResponse_Create: HCkHttpResponse; stdcall;

Creates an instance of the HCkHttpResponse object and returns a handle (i.e. a Pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.

procedure CkHttpResponse_Dispose(handle: HCkHttpResponse); stdcall;

Objects created by calling CkHttpResponse_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function.

Properties

Body
procedure CkHttpResponse_getBody(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkByteData); stdcall;

The response body returned as a byte array.

top
BodyQP
procedure CkHttpResponse_getBodyQP(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkHttpResponse__bodyQP(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

The same as the Body property, but returned as a quoted-printable encoded string.

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

top
BodyStr
procedure CkHttpResponse_getBodyStr(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkHttpResponse__bodyStr(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

The response body returned as a string.

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

top
Charset
procedure CkHttpResponse_getCharset(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkHttpResponse__charset(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

The response charset, such as "iso-8859-1", if applicable. Obviously, responses for GIF and JPG files will not have a charset.

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

top
ContentLength
function CkHttpResponse_getContentLength(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): LongWord; stdcall;

The content length of the response, in bytes.

top
ContentLength64
function CkHttpResponse_getContentLength64(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): Int64; stdcall;

The content length of the response, in number of bytes, returned as a 64-bit integer.

top
DateStr
procedure CkHttpResponse_getDateStr(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkHttpResponse__dateStr(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

Returns the content of the Date response header field in RFC822 date/time string format.

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

top
DebugLogFilePath
procedure CkHttpResponse_getDebugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
procedure CkHttpResponse_putDebugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; newPropVal: PWideChar); stdcall;
function CkHttpResponse__debugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

function CkHttpResponse__lastErrorHtml(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

function CkHttpResponse__lastErrorText(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

top
LastErrorXml
procedure CkHttpResponse_getLastErrorXml(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkHttpResponse__lastErrorXml(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

top
LastMethodSuccess
function CkHttpResponse_getLastMethodSuccess(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): wordbool; stdcall;
procedure CkHttpResponse_putLastMethodSuccess(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; newPropVal: wordbool); stdcall;

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of True indicates success, a value of False indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = True and failure = False.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to True. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top

function CkHttpResponse_getNumCookies(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): Integer; stdcall;

The number of cookies included in the response.

top

function CkHttpResponse_getNumHeaderFields(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): Integer; stdcall;

top
StatusLine
procedure CkHttpResponse_getStatusLine(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkHttpResponse__statusLine(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

The first line of an HTTP response, such as "HTTP/1.0 200 OK".

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

top
StatusText
procedure CkHttpResponse_getStatusText(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
function CkHttpResponse__statusText(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;
Introduced in version 9.5.0.49

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

top

procedure CkHttpResponse_getUncommonOptions(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
procedure CkHttpResponse_putUncommonOptions(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; newPropVal: PWideChar); stdcall;
function CkHttpResponse__uncommonOptions(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;
Introduced in version 9.5.0.89

This is a catch-all property to be used for uncommon needs. Can be set to a list of the following comma separated keywords:

  • "TakeResponseBody" - Introduced in v9.5.0.89. The GetBody* methods will transfer the body to the target object instead of copying the contents. This can be useful if the response body is extremely large because it will reduce the overall memory requirement.

See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.

top
VerboseLogging
function CkHttpResponse_getVerboseLogging(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): wordbool; stdcall;
procedure CkHttpResponse_putVerboseLogging(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse; newPropVal: wordbool); stdcall;

If set to True, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is False. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

function CkHttpResponse__version(objHandle: HCkHttpResponse): PWideChar; stdcall;

Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"
