## Detailed Description

The Q3HttpRequestHeader class contains request header information for HTTP.

This class is used in the Q3Http class to report the header information if the client requests something from the server.

HTTP requests have a method which describes the request's action. The most common requests are "GET" and "POST". In addition to the request method the header also includes a request-URI to specify the location for the method to use.

The method, request-URI and protocol-version can be set using a constructor or later using setRequest(). The values can be obtained using method(), path(), majorVersion() and minorVersion().

This class is a Q3HttpHeader subclass so that class's functions, e.g. setValue(), value(), etc. are also available.

See also Q3HttpResponseHeader and Q3Http.

## Member Function Documentation

### Q3HttpRequestHeader::Q3HttpRequestHeader ()

Constructs an empty HTTP request header.

### Q3HttpRequestHeader::Q3HttpRequestHeader ( const QString & method, const QString & path, int majorVer = 1, int minorVer = 1 )

Constructs a HTTP request header for the method method, the request-URI path and the protocol-version majorVer and minorVer.

### Q3HttpRequestHeader::Q3HttpRequestHeader ( const Q3HttpRequestHeader & header )

Constructs a copy of header.

### Q3HttpRequestHeader::Q3HttpRequestHeader ( const QString & str )

Constructs a HTTP request header from the string str. The str should consist of one or more "\r\n" delimited lines; the first line should be the request-line (format: method, space, request-URI, space HTTP-version); each of the remaining lines should have the format key, colon, space, value.

### int Q3HttpRequestHeader::majorVersion () const`[virtual]`

Reimplemented from Q3HttpHeader::majorVersion().

Returns the major protocol-version of the HTTP request header.

See also minorVersion(), method(), path(), and setRequest().

### QString Q3HttpRequestHeader::method () const

Returns the method of the HTTP request header.

See also path(), majorVersion(), minorVersion(), and setRequest().

### int Q3HttpRequestHeader::minorVersion () const`[virtual]`

Reimplemented from Q3HttpHeader::minorVersion().

Returns the minor protocol-version of the HTTP request header.

See also majorVersion(), method(), path(), and setRequest().

### QString Q3HttpRequestHeader::path () const

Returns the request-URI of the HTTP request header.

See also method(), majorVersion(), minorVersion(), and setRequest().

### void Q3HttpRequestHeader::setRequest ( const QString & method, const QString & path, int majorVer = 1, int minorVer = 1 )

This function sets the request method to method, the request-URI to path and the protocol-version to majorVer and minorVer.

See also method(), path(), majorVersion(), and minorVersion().

### QString Q3HttpRequestHeader::toString () const`[virtual]`

Reimplemented from Q3HttpHeader::toString().
