Method Details

create

static WritableHeaders<?> create()

Create a new instance of writable headers.

Returns:

mutable HTTP headers

create

static WritableHeaders<?> create(Headers headers)

Create a new instance of writable headers from existing headers.

Parameters:

headers - headers to add to the new mutable instance

Returns:

mutable HTTP headers

setIfAbsent

B setIfAbsent(Http.HeaderValue header)

Set a value of a header unless it is already present.

Parameters:

header - header with value to set

Returns:

this instance

add

B add(Http.HeaderValue header)

Add a header or add a header value if the header is already present.

Parameters:

header - header with value

Returns:

this instance

add

default B add(Http.HeaderName header,
 String... value)

Add a header or add a header value if the header is already present.

Parameters:

header - header name

value - header value(s)

Returns:

this instance

remove

B remove(Http.HeaderName name)

Remove a header.

Parameters:

name - name of the header to remove

Returns:

this instance

remove

B remove(Http.HeaderName name,
 Consumer<Http.HeaderValue> removedConsumer)

Remove a header.

Parameters:

name - name of the header to remove

removedConsumer - consumer to be called with existing header; if the header did not exist, consumer will not be called

Returns:

this instance

contentType

default B contentType(MediaType contentType)

Sets the MIME type of the response body.

Parameters:

contentType - Media type of the content.

Returns:

this instance

contentType

default B contentType(HttpMediaType contentType)

Sets the MIME type of the response body.

Parameters:

contentType - Media type of the content.

Returns:

this instance

set

B set(Http.HeaderValue header)

Set a header and replace it if it already existed.

Parameters:

header - header to set

Returns:

this instance

set

default B set(Http.HeaderName name,
 String... values)

Set a header and replace it if it already existed. Use set(io.helidon.common.http.Http.HeaderValue) for headers that are known in advance (use a constant), or for headers obtained from Helidon server or client. This method is intended for headers that are unknown or change value often.

Parameters:

name - header name to set

values - value(s) of the header

Returns:

this instance

set

default B set(Http.HeaderName name,
 List<String> values)

Set a header and replace it if it already existed. Use set(io.helidon.common.http.Http.HeaderValue) for headers that are known in advance (use a constant), or for headers obtained from Helidon server or client. This method is intended for headers that are unknown or change value often.

Parameters:

name - header name to set

values - value(s) of the header

Returns:

this instance

contentLength

default B contentLength(long length)

Content length of the entity in bytes. If not configured and a non-streaming entity is used, it will be configured based on the entity length. For streaming entities without content length we switch to chunked encoding (HTTP/1).

Parameters:

length - length of the entity

Returns:

this instance

clear

B clear()

Clear all current headers.

Returns:

this instance
