Struct HeaderValue 

pub struct HeaderValue { /* private fields */ }

Represents an HTTP header field value.

In practice, HTTP header field values are usually valid ASCII. However, the HTTP spec allows for a header value to contain opaque bytes as well. In this case, the header field value is not able to be represented as a string.

To handle this, the HeaderValue is useable as a type and can be compared with strings and implements Debug. to_str returns an error if the value is not valid UTF-8.

Implementations

impl HeaderValue

pub const fn from_static(src: &'static str) -> HeaderValue

Convert a static string to a HeaderValue.

This function will not perform any copying, however the string is checked to ensure that no invalid characters are present. Only HTAB and visible ASCII characters (32-126) are permitted.

Panics

This function panics if the argument contains invalid header value characters.

Examples

let val = HeaderValue::from_static("hello");
assert_eq!(val, "hello");

pub fn from_str(src: &str) -> Result<HeaderValue, InvalidHeaderValue>

Attempt to convert a string to a HeaderValue.

If the argument contains invalid header value characters, an error is returned. The same bytes as in from_bytes are permitted, so non-ASCII characters are accepted.

Examples

let val = HeaderValue::from_str("hello").unwrap();
assert_eq!(val, "hello");

let val = HeaderValue::from_str("caf\u{e9}").unwrap();
assert_eq!(val.to_str().unwrap(), "caf\u{e9}");

An invalid value

let val = HeaderValue::from_str("\n");
assert!(val.is_err());

pub fn from_bytes(src: &[u8]) -> Result<HeaderValue, InvalidHeaderValue>

Attempt to convert a byte slice to a HeaderValue.

If the argument contains invalid header value bytes, an error is returned. Only HTAB and byte values between 32 and 255 (inclusive) are permitted, excluding byte 127 (DEL).

Examples

let val = HeaderValue::from_bytes(b"hello\xfa").unwrap();
assert_eq!(val, &b"hello\xfa"[..]);

An invalid value

let val = HeaderValue::from_bytes(b"\n");
assert!(val.is_err());

pub fn from_shared<T>(src: T) -> Result<HeaderValue, InvalidHeaderValue>

where Bytes: From<T>,

Attempt to convert a Bytes buffer to a HeaderValue.

The conversion avoids copying when src can be converted into the internal Bytes representation without allocation. The same bytes as in from_bytes are permitted.

pub unsafe fn from_shared_unchecked(src: Bytes) -> HeaderValue

Creates a header value from bytes without validation.

Safety

src must contain only bytes allowed in an HTTP header field value: HTAB and bytes 32 through 255, excluding 127.

pub fn to_str(&self) -> Result<&str, ToStrError>

Yields a &str slice if the HeaderValue is valid UTF-8.

This function validates the whole header value as UTF-8.

Examples

let val = HeaderValue::from_static("hello");
assert_eq!(val.to_str().unwrap(), "hello");

let val = HeaderValue::from_bytes(b"caf\xe9").unwrap();
assert!(val.to_str().is_err());

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the length of self.

This length is in bytes.

Examples

let val = HeaderValue::from_static("hello");
assert_eq!(val.len(), 5);

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the header value is empty.

Examples

let val = HeaderValue::from_static("");
assert!(val.is_empty());

let val = HeaderValue::from_static("hello");
assert!(!val.is_empty());

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns the header value as a byte slice.

Examples

let val = HeaderValue::from_static("hello");
assert_eq!(val.as_bytes(), b"hello");

pub fn as_shared(&self) -> &Bytes

Returns the underlying shared byte buffer.

Examples

let val = HeaderValue::from_static("hello");
assert_eq!(val.as_shared(), &Bytes::from_static(b"hello"));

pub fn set_sensitive(&mut self, val: bool)

Marks whether the header value contains sensitive information.

Examples

let mut val = HeaderValue::from_static("my secret");

val.set_sensitive(true);
assert!(val.is_sensitive());

val.set_sensitive(false);
assert!(!val.is_sensitive());

pub fn is_sensitive(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the value represents sensitive data.

Sensitive data could represent passwords or other data that should not be stored on disk or in memory. By marking header values as sensitive, components using this crate can be instructed to treat them with special care for security reasons. For example, caches can avoid storing sensitive values, and HPACK encoders used by HTTP/2.0 implementations can choose not to compress them.

Additionally, sensitive values will be masked by the Debug implementation of HeaderValue.

Note that sensitivity is not factored into equality or ordering.

Examples

let mut val = HeaderValue::from_static("my secret");

val.set_sensitive(true);
assert!(val.is_sensitive());

val.set_sensitive(false);
assert!(!val.is_sensitive());
