HTTP Response

Within the body of an endpoint, you can access the #response object on the incoming request for more fine-grained control over the response body.

Itsi allows you to efficiently keep long-running responses open, and write to these asynchronously. Just remember to close them eventually…

E.g.

Itsi.rb


get "/" do |req|
  resp = req.response
  resp << "Stream some content"

  # Eventually... (This does not have to occur within the body of this method.)
  resp.close
end

Method	Description
`#<<`	Appends content to the response body (allows you to stream content).
`#send_and_close`	Sends a single response chunk and closes the connection.
`status=`	Sets the HTTP status code for the response.
`add_header`	Adds a header to the response.
`accept`	Retrieves the accepted content types from the request.
`close`	Closes the response stream.
`json?`	Checks if the response content type is JSON.
`html?`	Checks if the response content type is HTML.
