TTMSMCPHTTPServerResponse Class

The answer to one request, which a handler fills in.

API unit family: TMS.MCP.HTTPServer Inherits from: TPersistent

Syntax

TTMSMCPHTTPServerResponse = class(TPersistent)

Remarks

Created and owned by the server and passed to the handler alongside the request; do not free it. A handler normally sets a status code, adds headers and assigns the body, and the server sends it once the handler returns. A handler that has to keep writing after it returns - to hold a stream open, for instance - sends the headers itself with TTMSMCPHTTPServerResponse.WriteHeader, clears TTMSMCPHTTPServerResponse.CloseConnection, and then writes through the connection object rather than through this response.
