HttpResponse ActiveX Reference Documentation
HttpResponse
Current Version: 10.1.0
Represents a complete HTTP response.
Object Creation
Note: For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use "Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpResponse" instead of "Chilkat.HttpResponse" For a specific major version, use "Chilkat.HttpResponse.<major_version>", such as "Chilkat.HttpResponse.10" for Chilkat v10.*.* See Chilkat ActiveX Object Creation (ASP) set obj = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse") (AutoIt) $obj = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpResponse") (Visual Basic 6.0) Dim obj As New ChilkatHttpResponse (VBScript) set obj = CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse") (Delphi) obj := TChilkatHttpResponse.Create(Self); (FoxPro) loObject = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse') (PowerBuilder) lole_object = create oleobject li_rc = lole_object.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse") (SQL Server) EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.HttpResponse', @obj OUT (Javascript) var obj = new ActiveXObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse");
Properties
Body
The response body returned as a byte array.
topBodyQP
The same as the Body property, but returned as a quoted-printable encoded string.
topBodyStr
The response body returned as a string.
topCharset
The response charset, such as "iso-8859-1", if applicable. Obviously, responses for GIF and JPG files will not have a charset.
topContentLength
The content length of the response, in bytes.
topDateStr
Returns the content of the Date response header field in RFC822 date/time string format.
topDebugLogFilePath
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:
- a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
- the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
- there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.
Domain
The domain of the HTTP server that created this response.
topFinalRedirectUrl
Returns the redirect URL for 301/302 responses.
topFullMime
Returns the full MIME (header + body) of the HTTP response.
Header
The full text of the response header.
topLastBinaryResult
The binary data returned by the last (binary data returning) method called. Only available if Chilkat.Global.KeepBinaryResult is set to 1. This provides a means for obtaining large varbinary results in the SQL Server environment (where limitations exist in getting large amounts of data returned by method calls, but where temp tables can be used for binary properties).
topLastErrorHtml
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.
topLastErrorText
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.
LastErrorXml
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.
topLastMethodSuccess
Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of 1 indicates success, a value of 0 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 = 1 and failure = 0.
- 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 1. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.
topLastStringResult
The string return value of the last (string returning) method called. Only available if Chilkat.Global.KeepStringResult is set to 1. This provides a means for obtaining large string results in the SQL Server environment (where limitations exist in getting long strings returned by method calls, but where temp tables can be used for string properties).
LastStringResultLen
The length, in characters, of the string contained in the LastStringResult property.
topNumCookies
The number of cookies included in the response.
topNumHeaderFields
The number of response header fields.
topStatusCode
The status code (as an integer) from the first line of an HTTP response. If the StatusLine = "HTTP/1.0 200 OK", the response status code returned is 200.
topStatusLine
The first line of an HTTP response, such as "HTTP/1.0 200 OK".
topStatusText
The text that follows the status code in the 1st line of the HTTP response. For example, i the first line of an HTTP response is "HTTP/1.0 200 OK", then this property contains "OK".
topUncommonOptions
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.
VerboseLogging
If set to 1, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is 0. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.
topVersion
Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"
Methods
GetBodyBd
Copies the response body to a BinData object.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
GetBodyJarr
Loads the JSON array response body into a JsonArray This method should only be called when it is known that the response body contains a JSON array (beginning with a square bracket '[' and ending with a square bracket ']')
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
GetBodyJson
Loads the JSON response body into a JsonObject. This method should only be called when it is known that the response body contains JSON (beginning with a curly brace '{' and ending with a curly brace '}')
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
GetBodySb
Copies the response body to a Chilkat StringBuilder object.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
topGetBodyXml
Loads the XML response body into an XML object. This method should only be called when it is known that the response body contains XML.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
GetCookieDomain
Returns the domain of the Nth cookie in the response. Indexing begins at 0. The number of response cookies is specified in the NumCookies property.
Returns Nothing on failure
topGetCookieExpiresStr
Returns the expiration date/time of the Nth cookie in the response. Indexing begins at 0. The number of response cookies is specified in the NumCookies property.
Returns Nothing on failure
topGetCookieName
Returns the name of the Nth cookie returned in the response. Indexing begins at 0. The number of response cookies is specified in the NumCookies property.
Returns Nothing on failure
topGetCookiePath
Returns the path of the Nth cookie returned in the response. Indexing begins at 0. The number of response cookies is specified in the NumCookies property.
Returns Nothing on failure
topGetCookieValue
Returns the value of the Nth cookie returned in the response. Indexing begins at 0. The number of response cookies is specified in the NumCookies property.
Returns Nothing on failure
topGetHeaderField
GetHeaderFieldAttr
Returns a response header field attribute. As an example, the response charset is simply the GetHeaderFieldAttr("content-type","charset")
Returns Nothing on failure
topGetHeaderName
Gets the name of the Nth response header field. Indexing begins at 0. The number of response headers is specified by the NumHeaderFields property.
Returns Nothing on failure
topGetHeaderValue
Gets the value of the Nth response header field. Indexing begins at 0. The number of response headers is specified by the NumHeaderFields property.
Returns Nothing on failure
topLoadTaskResult
Loads the HTTP response from a completed asynchronous task. A failed return value indicates that no HTTP response was received in the HTTP asynchronous method call (i.e. the asynchronous HTTP request failed in such a way that no response was received).
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
SaveBodyBinary
Saves the body of the HTTP response to a file.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
SaveBodyText
Saves the HTTP response body to a file. This method provides control over CRLF vs bare-LF line-endings. If bCrlf is 1, then line endings are automatically converted to CRLF if necessary. If bCrlf is 0, then line-endings are automatically converted to bare-LF's (Unix style) if necessary.
To save the HTTP response body exactly as-is (with no line-ending manipulation), then call SaveBodyBinary.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
topUrlEncParamValue
Convenience method for parsing a param's value out of a URL-encoded param string. For example, if a caller passes the following string in encodedParamString:
oauth_token=ABC&oauth_token_secret=123&oauth_callback_confirmed=trueand "oauth_token_secret" in paramName, then the return value would be "123".
Returns Nothing on failure
