class Rack::Response

Rack::Response provides a convenient interface to create a Rack response.

It allows setting of headers and cookies, and provides useful defaults (an OK response with empty headers and body).

You can use Response#write to iteratively generate your response, but note that this is buffered by Rack::Response until you call finish. finish however can take a block inside which calls to write are synchronous with the Rack response.

Your application’s call should end returning Response#finish.

[] (status, headers, body)

def self.[](status, headers, body)
  self.new(body, status, headers)
end
new (body = nil, status = 200, headers = {}) { |self| ... }

Initialize the response object with the specified body, status and headers.

If the body is nil, construct an empty response object with internal buffering.

If the body responds to to_str, assume it’s a string-like object and construct a buffered response object containing using that string as the initial contents of the buffer.

Otherwise it is expected body conforms to the normal requirements of a Rack response body, typically implementing one of each (enumerable body) or call (streaming body).

The status defaults to 200 which is the “OK” HTTP status code. You can provide any other valid status code.

The headers must be a Hash of key-value header pairs which conform to the Rack specification for response headers. The key must be a String instance and the value can be either a String or Array instance.

# File lib/rack/response.rb, line 61
def initialize(body = nil, status = 200, headers = {})
  @status = status.to_i

  unless headers.is_a?(Hash)

  end

  @headers = Headers.new
  # Convert headers input to a plain hash with lowercase keys.
  headers.each do |k, v|
    @headers[k] = v
  end
