"""An IVLE request object. This is presented to the IVLE apps as a way of
30
interacting with the web server and the dispatcher.
32
Request object attributes:
34
String. The path portion of the URI.
36
String. Name of the application specified in the URL, or None.
38
String. The path specified in the URL *not including* the
39
application or the IVLE location prefix. eg. a URL of
40
"/ivle/files/joe/myfiles" has a path of "joe/myfiles".
43
Int. Response status number. Use one of the status codes defined
46
String. The Content-Type (mime type) header value.
48
String. Response "Location" header value. Used with HTTP redirect
51
String. HTML page title. Used if write_html_head_foot is True, in
52
the HTML title element text.
53
write_html_head_foot (write)
54
Boolean. If True, dispatch assumes that this is an XHTML page, and
55
will immediately write a full HTML head, open the body element,
56
and write heading contents to the page, before any bytes are
57
written. It will then write footer contents and close the body and
58
html elements at the end of execution.
60
This value should be set to true by all applications for all HTML
61
output (unless there is a good reason, eg. exec). The
62
applications should therefore output HTML content assuming that
63
it will be written inside the body tag. Do not write opening or
64
closing <html> or <body> tags.
67
# Special code for an OK response.
68
# Do not use HTTP_OK; for some reason Apache produces an "OK" error
69
# message if you do that.
