"""An IVLE request object. This is presented to the IVLE apps as a way of
32
interacting with the web server and the dispatcher.
34
Request object attributes:
36
String. The request method (eg. 'GET', 'POST', etc)
38
String. The path portion of the URI.
40
String. Name of the application specified in the URL, or None.
42
String. The path specified in the URL *not including* the
43
application or the IVLE location prefix. eg. a URL of
44
"/ivle/files/joe/myfiles" has a path of "joe/myfiles".
46
String. Login name of the user who is currently logged in, or
49
String. Hostname the server is running on.
51
Table object representing headers sent by the client.
52
headers_out (read, can be written to)
53
Table object representing headers to be sent to the client.
56
Int. Response status number. Use one of the status codes defined
59
String. The Content-Type (mime type) header value.
61
String. Response "Location" header value. Used with HTTP redirect
64
String. HTML page title. Used if write_html_head_foot is True, in
65
the HTML title element text.
67
List of strings. Write a list of URLs to CSS files here, and they
68
will be incorporated as <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
69
elements in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.
70
URLs should be relative to the IVLE root; they will be fixed up
73
List of strings. Write a list of URLs to JS files here, and they
74
will be incorporated as <script type="text/javascript"> elements
75
in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.
76
URLs should be relative to the IVLE root; they will be fixed up
78
write_html_head_foot (write)
79
Boolean. If True, dispatch assumes that this is an XHTML page, and
80
will immediately write a full HTML head, open the body element,
81
and write heading contents to the page, before any bytes are
82
written. It will then write footer contents and close the body and
83
html elements at the end of execution.
85
This value should be set to true by all applications for all HTML
86
output (unless there is a good reason, eg. exec). The
87
applications should therefore output HTML content assuming that
88
it will be written inside the body tag. Do not write opening or
89
closing <html> or <body> tags.
92
# Special code for an OK response.
93
# Do not use HTTP_OK; for some reason Apache produces an "OK" error
94
