Method

SoupMessageHeadersset_content_length

Declaration [src]

void
soup_message_headers_set_content_length (
  SoupMessageHeaders* hdrs,
  goffset content_length
)

Description [src]

Sets the message body length that hdrs will declare, and sets hdrss encoding to SOUP_ENCODING_CONTENT_LENGTH.

You do not normally need to call this; if hdrs is set to use Content-Length encoding, libsoup will automatically set its Content-Length header for you immediately before sending the headers. One situation in which this method is useful is when generating the response to a HEAD request; Calling soup_message_headers_set_content_length() allows you to put the correct content length into the response without needing to waste memory by filling in a response body which won’t actually be sent.

Parameters

content_length

Type: goffset

The message body length.
