Http.headers | LuaRT free and open source Windows programming framework for Lua

Http.headers readonly property

The Http.headers property returns a table that contains the headers of the requests to be sent to the server (where keys and values are strings representing header names and values respectively).

This is a readonly property that returns a table, but you can set/get its individual fields or iterate over.

Example


local net = require "net"

local client = net.Http("https://httpbin.org")

-- add header "Content-Type" with the value "text/plain" for next requests
client.headers["Content-Type"] = "text/plain"

-- the data to be posted (in text/plain format)
local data = [[Hello World !]]

-- make a POST request, and after its terminated, call the provided function, to process the response
client:post("/post", data).after = function (self, response)
  if not response then
    error(net.error)
  end
  print(response.content)
end
