HttpResponse Swift Reference Documentation

CkoHttpResponse

Current Version: 10.1.0

Represents a complete HTTP response.

Object Creation

let obj = CkoHttpResponse()!

Properties

Body
body: Data! (read-only)

The response body returned as a byte array.

top
BodyQP
bodyQP: String! (read-only)

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

top
BodyStr
bodyStr: String! (read-only)

The response body returned as a string.

top
Charset
charset: String! (read-only)

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

top
ContentLength
contentLength: UInt (read-only)

The content length of the response, in bytes.

top
DateStr
dateStr: String! (read-only)

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

top
DebugLogFilePath
debugLogFilePath: String!

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

  • A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
  • A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
  • An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

More Information and Examples

top
Header
header: String! (read-only)

The full text of the response header.

top
LastErrorHtml
lastErrorHtml: String! (read-only)

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastErrorText
lastErrorText: String! (read-only)

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastErrorXml
lastErrorXml: String! (read-only)

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastMethodSuccess
lastMethodSuccess: Bool

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: true means success, false means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

top
NumCookies
numCookies: Int (read-only)

The number of cookies included in the response.

top
NumHeaderFields
numHeaderFields: Int (read-only)

The number of response header fields.

top
StatusCode
statusCode: Int (read-only)

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.

top
StatusLine
statusLine: String! (read-only)

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

top
StatusText
statusText: String! (read-only)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.49

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".

top
UncommonOptions
uncommonOptions: String!
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.

top
VerboseLogging
verboseLogging: Bool

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.

top
Version
version: String! (read-only)

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"
