HTTPClientResponseDelegate

public protocol HTTPClientResponseDelegate : AnyObject

HTTPClientResponseDelegate allows an implementation to receive notifications about request processing and to control how response parts are processed. You can implement this protocol if you need fine-grained control over an HTTP request/response, for example, if you want to inspect the response headers before deciding whether to accept a response body, or if you want to stream your request body. Pass an instance of your conforming class to the HTTPClient.execute() method and this package will call each delegate method appropriately as the request takes place.

Note

This delegate is strongly held by the HTTPTaskHandler for the duration of the Request processing and will be released together with the HTTPTaskHandler when channel is closed. Users of the library are not required to keep a reference to the object that implements this protocol, but may do so if needed.

  • didReceiveHead(task:_:) Default implementation

    Called when response head is received. Will be called once. You must return an EventLoopFuture<Void> that you complete when you have finished processing the body part. You can create an already succeeded future by calling task.eventLoop.makeSucceededFuture(()).

    Default Implementation

    Declaration

    Swift

    func didReceiveHead(task: HTTPClient.Task<Response>, _ head: HTTPResponseHead) -> EventLoopFuture<Void>

    Parameters

    task

    Current request context.
    head

    Received reposonse head.

    Return Value

    EventLoopFuture that will be used for backpressure.

  • didReceiveBodyPart(task:_:) Default implementation

    Called when part of a response body is received. Could be called zero or more times. You must return an EventLoopFuture<Void> that you complete when you have finished processing the body part. You can create an already succeeded future by calling task.eventLoop.makeSucceededFuture(()).

    Default Implementation

    Declaration

    Swift

    func didReceiveBodyPart(task: HTTPClient.Task<Response>, _ buffer: ByteBuffer) -> EventLoopFuture<Void>

    Parameters

    task

    Current request context.
    buffer

    Received body Part.

    Return Value

    EventLoopFuture that will be used for backpressure.

  • didReceiveError(task:_:) Default implementation

    Called when error was thrown during request execution. Will be called zero or one time only. Request processing will be stopped after that.

    Default Implementation

    Declaration

    Swift

    func didReceiveError(task: HTTPClient.Task<Response>, _ error: Error)

    Parameters

    task

    Current request context.
    error

    Error that occured during response processing.
    Show on GitHub

  • Called when the complete HTTP request is finished. You must return an instance of your Response associated type. Will be called once, except if an error occurred.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func didFinishRequest(task: HTTPClient.Task<Response>) throws -> Response

    Parameters

    task

    Current request context.

    Return Value

    Result of processing.
