OpenPlugin::HttpHeader - Represent the incoming and outgoing HTTP headers for a request

 @incoming_headers = $OP->httpheader->get_incoming();

 $header_value = $OP->httpheader->get_incoming( 'Content-Type' );

 $OP->httpheader->set_outgoing({ 'foo' => 'bar });

 $OP->httpheader->send_outgoing();

The HttpHeader plugin offers an interface to retrieve headers sent from the browser to the server, and to send headers back to the browser.

set_incoming( $name = $value )>

Sets all incoming parameters. This is normally called only by the particular Header driver, and not by an application.

get_incoming( [ $name ] )

get( [ $name ] )

Called by itself, get_incoming returns a list of header names which the browser sent to us during the last request.

Called with the optional name parameter, get_incoming returns the value for that particular header.

set_outgoing( $key = $value )>

set( $key = $value )>

Set $key to $value.

To clear an outgoing header value, use undef for the value:

 $header->set_outgoing( 'Content-Type', undef );

get_outgoing()

Returns a list of outgoing keys and values. A value may be an arrayref. (SEE ABOVE)

send_outgoing()

send()

Sends the outgoing HTTP headers.

This function checks to see if there are any cookies to be sent whenever it is called.

None known.

See the TO DO section of the <OpenPlugin::Request> plugin.

See the individual driver documentation for settings and parameters specific to that driver.
