# Module: dispatch.request

27
"""An IVLE request object. This is presented to the IVLE apps as a way of
28
interacting with the web server and the dispatcher.
30
Request object attributes:
32
String. The path portion of the URI.
34
String. Name of the application specified in the URL, or None.
36
String. The path specified in the URL *not including* the
37
application or the IVLE location prefix. eg. a URL of
38
"/ivle/files/joe/myfiles" has a path of "joe/myfiles".
41
Int. Response status number. Use one of the status codes defined
44
String. The Content-Type (mime type) header value.
46
String. Response "Location" header value. Used with HTTP redirect
49
String. HTML page title. Used if write_html_head_foot is True, in
50
the HTML title element text.
51
write_html_head_foot (write)
52
Boolean. If True, dispatch assumes that this is an XHTML page, and
53
will immediately write a full HTML head, open the body element,
54
and write heading contents to the page, before any bytes are
55
written. It will then write footer contents and close the body and
56
html elements at the end of execution.
58
This value should be set to true by all applications for all HTML
59
output (unless there is a good reason, eg. exec). The
60
applications should therefore output HTML content assuming that
61
it will be written inside the body tag. Do not write opening or
62
closing <html> or <body> tags.
65
# Special code for an OK response.
66
# Do not use HTTP_OK; for some reason Apache produces an "OK" error
67
# message if you do that.
