disableCache()source public

disableCache( )

Sets the correct headers to instruct the client to not cache the response

Deprecated

3.4.0 Use withDisabledCache() instead.

download()source public

download( string $filename )

Sets the correct headers to instruct the browser to download the response as a file.

Deprecated

3.4.0 Use withDownload() instead.

Parameters

string $filename
The name of the file as the browser will download the response

etag()source public

etag( string|null $hash null , boolean $weak false )

Sets the response Etag, Etags are a strong indicative that a response can be cached by a HTTP client. A bad way of generating Etags is creating a hash of the response output, instead generate a unique hash of the unique components that identifies a request, such as a modification time, a resource Id, and anything else you consider it makes it unique.

Second parameter is used to instruct clients that the content has changed, but semantically, it can be used as the same thing. Think for instance of a page with a hit counter, two different page views are equivalent, but they differ by a few bytes. This leaves off to the Client the decision of using or not the cached page.

If no parameters are passed, current Etag header is returned.

Deprecated

3.4.0 Use withEtag() instead.

Parameters

string|null $hash optional null
The unique hash that identifies this response
boolean $weak optional false

Whether the response is semantically the same as other with the same hash or not

Returns

string|null

The status code is a 3-digit integer result code of the server's attempt to understand and satisfy the request.

String header

header('WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate');

Array of string headers

header(['WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate', 'Content-type: application/pdf']);

Multiple calls for setting the same header name will have the same effect as setting the header once with the last value sent for it

header('WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate');
header('WWW-Authenticate: Not-Negotiate');

will have the same effect as only doing

header('WWW-Authenticate: Not-Negotiate');

Deprecated

3.4.0 Use withHeader(), getHeaderLine() and getHeaders() instead.

Parameters

string|array|null $header optional null

An array of header strings or a single header string - an associative array of "header name" => "header value" is also accepted - an array of string headers is also accepted

httpCodes()source public

httpCodes( integer|array|null $code null )

Queries & sets valid HTTP response codes & messages.

Deprecated

3.4.0 Will be removed in 4.0.0

Parameters

integer|array|null $code optional null

If $code is an integer, then the corresponding code/message is returned if it exists, null if it does not exist. If $code is an array, then the keys are used as codes and the values as messages to add to the default HTTP codes. The codes must be integers greater than 99 and less than 1000. Keep in mind that the HTTP specification outlines that status codes begin with a digit between 1 and 5, which defines the class of response the client is to expect. Example:

httpCodes(404); // returns [404 => 'Not Found']

   httpCodes([
       381 => 'Unicorn Moved',
       555 => 'Unexpected Minotaur'
   ]); // sets these new values, and returns true

   httpCodes([
       0 => 'Nothing Here',
       -1 => 'Reverse Infinity',
       12345 => 'Universal Password',
       'Hello' => 'World'
   ]); // throws an exception due to invalid codes

   For more on HTTP status codes see: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec6.html#sec6.1

Returns

mixed

Associative array of the HTTP codes as keys, and the message strings as values, or null of the given $code does not exist.

Parameters

boolean $enable
If boolean sets or unsets the directive.

Returns

Cake\Http\Response

withNotModified()source public

withNotModified( )

Create a new instance as 'not modified'

This will remove any body contents set the status code to "304" and removing headers that describe a response body.

Returns

Cake\Http\Response

withSharable()source public

withSharable( boolean $public , integer|null $time null )

Create a new instace with the public/private Cache-Control directive set.

Parameters

boolean $public

If set to true, the Cache-Control header will be set as public if set to false, the response will be set to private.

integer|null $time optional null
time in seconds after which the response should no longer be considered fresh.

Returns

Cake\Http\Response

withSharedMaxAge()source public

withSharedMaxAge( integer $seconds )

Create a new instance with the Cache-Control s-maxage directive.

The max-age is the number of seconds after which the response should no longer be considered a good candidate to be fetched from a shared cache (like in a proxy server).

Parameters

integer $seconds
The number of seconds for shared max-age

Returns

Cake\Http\Response

withStatus()source public

withStatus( integer $code , string $reasonPhrase '' )

Return an instance with the specified status code and, optionally, reason phrase.

If no reason phrase is specified, implementations MAY choose to default to the RFC 7231 or IANA recommended reason phrase for the response's status code.

This method MUST be implemented in such a way as to retain the immutability of the message, and MUST return an instance that has the updated status and reason phrase.

If the status code is 304 or 204, the existing Content-Type header will be cleared, as these response codes have no body.

Parameters

integer $code
The 3-digit integer result code to set.
string $reasonPhrase optional ''

The reason phrase to use with the provided status code; if none is provided, implementations MAY use the defaults as suggested in the HTTP specification.

Returns

Cake\Http\Response

Throws

InvalidArgumentException
For invalid status code arguments.
