Procs

proc newHttpHeaders(): HttpHeaders {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc newHttpHeaders(keyValuePairs: openArray[tuple[key: string, val: string]]): HttpHeaders {...}{.
    raises: [], tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc `$`(headers: HttpHeaders): string {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc clear(headers: HttpHeaders) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc `[]`(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string): HttpHeaderValues {...}{.raises: [KeyError],
    tags: [].}

Returns the values associated with the given key. If the returned values are passed to a procedure expecting a string, the first value is automatically picked. If there are no values associated with the key, an exception is raised.

To access multiple values of a key, use the overloaded [] below or to get all of them access the table field directly.

  Source Edit
proc `[]`(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string; i: int): string {...}{.raises: [KeyError],
    tags: [].}
Returns the i'th value associated with the given key. If there are no values associated with the key or the i'th value doesn't exist, an exception is raised.   Source Edit
proc `[]=`(headers: HttpHeaders; key, value: string) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Sets the header entries associated with key to the specified value. Replaces any existing values.   Source Edit
proc `[]=`(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string; value: seq[string]) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Sets the header entries associated with key to the specified list of values. Replaces any existing values.   Source Edit
proc add(headers: HttpHeaders; key, value: string) {...}{.raises: [KeyError], tags: [].}
Adds the specified value to the specified key. Appends to any existing values associated with the key.   Source Edit
proc del(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Delete the header entries associated with key   Source Edit
proc contains(values: HttpHeaderValues; value: string): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Determines if value is one of the values inside values. Comparison is performed without case sensitivity.   Source Edit
proc hasKey(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc getOrDefault(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string;
                 default = @[""].HttpHeaderValues): HttpHeaderValues {...}{.
    raises: [KeyError], tags: [].}
Returns the values associated with the given key. If there are no values associated with the key, then default is returned.   Source Edit
proc len(headers: HttpHeaders): int {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc parseHeader(line: string): tuple[key: string, value: seq[string]] {...}{.raises: [],
    tags: [].}

Parses a single raw header HTTP line into key value pairs.

Used by asynchttpserver and httpclient internally and should not be used by you.

  Source Edit
proc `==`(protocol: tuple[orig: string, major, minor: int]; ver: HttpVersion): bool {...}{.
    raises: [], tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc contains(methods: set[HttpMethod]; x: string): bool {...}{.raises: [ValueError],
    tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc `$`(code: HttpCode): string {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Converts the specified HttpCode into a HTTP status.

For example:

doAssert($Http404 == "404 Not Found")

  Source Edit
proc `==`(a, b: HttpCode): bool {...}{.borrow.}
  Source Edit
proc `==`(rawCode: string; code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
  Source Edit
proc is2xx(code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Determines whether code is a 2xx HTTP status code.   Source Edit
proc is3xx(code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Determines whether code is a 3xx HTTP status code.   Source Edit
proc is4xx(code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Determines whether code is a 4xx HTTP status code.   Source Edit
proc is5xx(code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Determines whether code is a 5xx HTTP status code.   Source Edit
proc `$`(httpMethod: HttpMethod): string {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Iterators

iterator pairs(headers: HttpHeaders): tuple[key, value: string] {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
Yields each key, value pair.   Source Edit
