The QHttpHeader class contains header information for HTTP.

<p> 

<p> In most cases you should use the more specialized derivatives of
this class, <a href="qhttpresponseheader.html">QHttpResponseHeader</a> and <a href="qhttprequestheader.html">QHttpRequestHeader</a>, rather
than directly using QHttpHeader.
<p> QHttpHeader provides the HTTP header fields. A HTTP header field
consists of a name followed by a colon, a single space, and the
field value. (See RFC 1945.) Field names are case-insensitive. A
typical header field looks like this:
<pre>
    content-type: text/html
    </pre>
 
<p> In the API the header field name is called the "key" and the
content is called the "value". You can get and set a header
field's value by using its key with <a href="#value">value</a>() and <a href="#setValue">setValue</a>(), e.g.
<pre>
    header.setValue( "content-type", "text/html" );
    <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> contentType = header.value( "content-type" );
    </pre>
 
<p> Some fields are so common that getters and setters are provided
for them as a convenient alternative to using <a href="#value">value</a>() and
<a href="#setValue">setValue</a>(), e.g. <a href="#contentLength">contentLength</a>() and <a href="#contentType">contentType</a>(),
<a href="#setContentLength">setContentLength</a>() and <a href="#setContentType">setContentType</a>().
<p> Each header key has a <em>single</em> value associated with it. If you
set the value for a key which already exists the previous value
will be discarded.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qhttprequestheader.html">QHttpRequestHeader</a>, <a href="qhttpresponseheader.html">QHttpResponseHeader</a>, and <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>.

</h3>
Constructs a HTTP header for <em>str</em>.
<p> This constructor parses the string <em>str</em> for header fields and
adds this information. The <em>str</em> should consist of one or more
"\r\n" delimited lines; each of these lines should have the format
key, colon, space, value.

</h3>
Destructor.

<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="contentLength"></a>QHttpHeader::contentLength () const
</h3>
Returns the value of the special HTTP header field <tt>content-length</tt>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setContentLength">setContentLength</a>() and <a href="#hasContentLength">hasContentLength</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="contentType"></a>QHttpHeader::contentType () const
</h3>
Returns the value of the special HTTP header field <tt>content-type</tt>.

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="hasContentLength"></a>QHttpHeader::hasContentLength () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the header has an entry for the special HTTP
header field <tt>content-length</tt>; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#contentLength">contentLength</a>() and <a href="#setContentLength">setContentLength</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="hasContentType"></a>QHttpHeader::hasContentType () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the header has an entry for the the special HTTP
header field <tt>content-type</tt>; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#contentType">contentType</a>() and <a href="#setContentType">setContentType</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="hasKey"></a>QHttpHeader::hasKey ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key ) const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the HTTP header has an entry with the given <em>key</em>; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#value">value</a>(), <a href="#setValue">setValue</a>(), and <a href="#keys">keys</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isValid"></a>QHttpHeader::isValid () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the HTTP header is valid; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> A QHttpHeader is invalid if it was created by parsing a malformed string.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a> <a name="keys"></a>QHttpHeader::keys () const
</h3>
Returns a list of the keys in the HTTP header.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#hasKey">hasKey</a>().

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="majorVersion"></a>QHttpHeader::majorVersion () const<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
</h3>

<p> Returns the major protocol-version of the HTTP header.

<p>Reimplemented in <a href="qhttpresponseheader.html#majorVersion">QHttpResponseHeader</a> and <a href="qhttprequestheader.html#majorVersion">QHttpRequestHeader</a>.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="minorVersion"></a>QHttpHeader::minorVersion () const<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
</h3>

<p> Returns the minor protocol-version of the HTTP header.

<p>Reimplemented in <a href="qhttpresponseheader.html#minorVersion">QHttpResponseHeader</a> and <a href="qhttprequestheader.html#minorVersion">QHttpRequestHeader</a>.
