Webrick override HTTPResponse::setup_header

[andrey]

Hi, all.

My subj solution:

class MyServlet < HTTPServlet::AbstractServlet
def do_GET(req, res)
class <<res
def setup_header()
... my code ...
end
end
....
end
....
end

I think my solution is't good and is't true ruby way.
Another solution?

What are you trying to accomplish with this code?

Hi,

As Eric said, it's not obvious what end result you are expecting but
it appears you want to change the headers of the response. If so, you
can do something like this:

class MyServlet < HTTPServlet::AbstractServlet
def do_Get(req, res)
res["header_name"] = "header_value"
...
end
end

Webrick is not very well documented but the method names and their
source code are available here: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/

To clear out all of the existing headers you can use
res.instance_variable_set("@header", {"header_name" => "header_value",
"other_header_name" => "other_header_value"})

Yes, but after exiting do_Get() Webrick add self headers:

def do_GET(req, res)
...
res.instance_variable_set("@header",
{"header_name" => "header_value",
"other_header_name" =>
"other_header_value"})
...
end

% nc localhost 60001

Yes, but after exiting do_Get() Webrick add self headers:

If you want to change the Content-Type, use

req['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-my-world'
