Module `Cohttp.Transfer`Source

Read and write the HTTP/1.1 transfer-encoding formats. Currently supported are chunked and content-length.

Sourcetype encoding =

| Chunked
(*
dynamic chunked encoding
*)
| Fixed of int64
(*
fixed size content
*)
| Unknown
(*
unknown body size, which leads to best-effort
*)

The encoding format detected from the transfer-encoding and content-length headers

Sourceval sexp_of_encoding : encoding -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t

Sourceval encoding_of_sexp : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> encoding

Sourcetype chunk =

| Chunk of string
(*
chunk of data and not the end of stream
*)
| Final_chunk of string
(*
the last chunk of data, so no more should be read
*)
| Done
(*
no more body data is present
*)

A chunk of body that also signals if there to more to arrive

Sourceval sexp_of_chunk : chunk -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t

Sourceval chunk_of_sexp : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> chunk

Sourceval string_of_encoding : encoding -> string

Convert the encoding format to a human-readable string

Sourceval has_body : encoding -> [ `No | `Unknown | `Yes ]

has_body encoding returns the appropriate variant that indicates whether the HTTP request or response has an associated body. It does not guess: instead Unknown is returned if there is no explicit association.
