## Member Function Documentation

### QHttpServerResponder::QHttpServerResponder(QHttpServerResponder &&other)

Move-constructs a QHttpServerResponder instance, making it point at the same object that other was pointing to.

### QHttpServerResponder::~QHttpServerResponder()

Destroys a QHttpServerResponder.

### `[since 6.5]` void QHttpServerResponder::sendResponse(const QHttpServerResponse &response)

Sends a HTTP response to the client.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.5.

### void QHttpServerResponder::write(QIODevice *data, QHttpServerResponder::HeaderList headers, QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Answers a request with an HTTP status code status and HTTP headers headers. The I/O device data provides the body of the response. If data is sequential, the body of the message is sent in chunks: otherwise, the function assumes all the content is available and sends it all at once but the read is done in chunks.

Note: This function takes the ownership of data.

### void QHttpServerResponder::write(QIODevice *data, const QByteArray &mimeType, QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Answers a request with an HTTP status code status and a MIME type mimeType. The I/O device data provides the body of the response. If data is sequential, the body of the message is sent in chunks: otherwise, the function assumes all the content is available and sends it all at once but the read is done in chunks.

Note: This function takes the ownership of data.

### void QHttpServerResponder::write(const QJsonDocument &document, QHttpServerResponder::HeaderList headers, QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Answers a request with an HTTP status code status, JSON document document and HTTP headers headers.

Note: This function sets HTTP Content-Type header as "application/json".

### void QHttpServerResponder::write(const QJsonDocument &document, QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Answers a request with an HTTP status code status, and JSON document document.

Note: This function sets HTTP Content-Type header as "application/json".

### void QHttpServerResponder::write(const QByteArray &data, QHttpServerResponder::HeaderList headers, QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Answers a request with an HTTP status code status, HTTP Headers headers and a body data.

Note: This function sets HTTP Content-Length header.

### void QHttpServerResponder::write(const QByteArray &data, const QByteArray &mimeType, QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Answers a request with an HTTP status code status, a MIME type mimeType and a body data.

### void QHttpServerResponder::write(QHttpServerResponder::HeaderList headers, QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Answers a request with an HTTP status code status and HTTP Headers headers.

### void QHttpServerResponder::write(QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Answers a request with an HTTP status code status.

Note: This function sets HTTP Content-Type header as "application/x-empty".

### void QHttpServerResponder::writeBody(const char *body, qint64 size)

This function writes HTTP body body with size size.

### void QHttpServerResponder::writeBody(const char *body)

This function writes HTTP body body.

### void QHttpServerResponder::writeBody(const QByteArray &body)

This function writes HTTP body body.

### void QHttpServerResponder::writeHeader(const QByteArray &header, const QByteArray &value)

This function writes an HTTP header header with value.

### void QHttpServerResponder::writeHeaders(QHttpServerResponder::HeaderList headers)

This function writes HTTP headers headers.

### void QHttpServerResponder::writeStatusLine(QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

This function writes HTTP status line with an HTTP status code status.
