A representation of the data included in an HTTP request.
Returns the value for the header in this request specified by fieldName.
@throws NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG
if fieldName does not constitute a valid header field name
@throws NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE
if the given header does not exist in this
| fieldName | the name of the field whose value is to be gotten; note that since HTTP header field names are case-insensitive, this method produces equivalent results for "HeAdER" and "hEADer" as fieldName |
| The result is a string containing the individual values of the header, usually separated with a comma. The headers WWW-Authenticate, Proxy-Authenticate, and Set-Cookie violate the HTTP specification, however, and for these headers only the separator string is '\n'. |
Returns true if a header with the given field name exists in this, false
otherwise.
| fieldName | the field name whose existence is to be determined in this; note that since HTTP header field names are case-insensitive, this method produces equivalent results for "HeAdER" and "hEADer" as fieldName @throws NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG if fieldName does not constitute a valid header field name |
The request type for this request (see RFC 2616, section 5.1.1).
The scheme of the requested path, usually ‘http’ but might possibly be
‘https’ if some form of SSL tunneling is in use. Note that this value
cannot be accurately determined unless the incoming request used the
absolute-path form of the request line; it defaults to ‘http’, so only
if it is something else can you be entirely certain it’s correct.
The host of the data being requested (e.g. “localhost” for the
http://localhost:8080/file resource). Note that the relevant port on the
host is specified in this.port. This value is in the ASCII character
encoding.
The port on the server on which the request was received.
The requested path, without any query string (e.g. “/dir/file.txt”). It is
guaranteed to begin with a “/”. The individual components in this string
are URL-encoded.
The URL-encoded query string associated with this request, not including
the initial “?”, or “” if no query string was present.
A string containing the HTTP version of the request (i.e., “1.1”). Leading
zeros for either component of the version will be omitted. (In other
words, if the request contains the version “1.01”, this attribute will be
“1.1”; see RFC 2616, section 3.1.)
An nsISimpleEnumerator of nsISupportsStrings over the names of the headers
in this request. The header field names in the enumerator may not
necessarily have the same case as they do in the request itself.
A stream from which data appearing in the body of this request can be read.
