# Procs

    proc newHttpHeaders(): HttpHeaders {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Source Edit

    proc newHttpHeaders(keyValuePairs: openArray[tuple[key: string, val: string]]): HttpHeaders {...}{.
        raises: [], tags: [].}

  Source Edit

    proc `$`(headers: HttpHeaders): string {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Source Edit

    proc clear(headers: HttpHeaders) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Source Edit

    proc `[]`(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string): HttpHeaderValues {...}{.raises: [KeyError],
        tags: [].}

  Returns the values associated with the given `key`. If the returned values are passed to a procedure expecting a `string`, the first value is automatically picked. If there are no values associated with the key, an exception is raised.

  To access multiple values of a key, use the overloaded `[]` below or to get all of them access the `table` field directly.

  Source Edit

    proc `[]`(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string; i: int): string {...}{.raises: [KeyError],
        tags: [].}

  Returns the `i`'th value associated with the given key. If there are no values associated with the key or the `i`'th value doesn't exist, an exception is raised. Source Edit

    proc `[]=`(headers: HttpHeaders; key, value: string) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Sets the header entries associated with `key` to the specified value. Replaces any existing values. Source Edit

    proc `[]=`(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string; value: seq[string]) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Sets the header entries associated with `key` to the specified list of values. Replaces any existing values. Source Edit

    proc add(headers: HttpHeaders; key, value: string) {...}{.raises: [KeyError], tags: [].}

  Adds the specified value to the specified key. Appends to any existing values associated with the key. Source Edit

    proc del(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Delete the header entries associated with `key` Source Edit

    proc contains(values: HttpHeaderValues; value: string): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Determines if `value` is one of the values inside `values`. Comparison is performed without case sensitivity. Source Edit

    proc hasKey(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Source Edit

    proc getOrDefault(headers: HttpHeaders; key: string;
                     default = @[""].HttpHeaderValues): HttpHeaderValues {...}{.
        raises: [KeyError], tags: [].}

  Returns the values associated with the given `key`. If there are no values associated with the key, then `default` is returned. Source Edit

    proc len(headers: HttpHeaders): int {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Source Edit

    proc parseHeader(line: string): tuple[key: string, value: seq[string]] {...}{.raises: [],
        tags: [].}

  Parses a single raw header HTTP line into key value pairs.

  Used by `asynchttpserver` and `httpclient` internally and should not be used by you.

  Source Edit

    proc `==`(protocol: tuple[orig: string, major, minor: int]; ver: HttpVersion): bool {...}{.
        raises: [], tags: [].}

  Source Edit

    proc contains(methods: set[HttpMethod]; x: string): bool {...}{.raises: [ValueError],
        tags: [].}

  Source Edit

    proc `$`(code: HttpCode): string {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Converts the specified `HttpCode` into a HTTP status.

  For example:

  >     doAssert($Http404 == "404 Not Found")

  Source Edit

    proc `==`(a, b: HttpCode): bool {...}{.borrow.}

  Source Edit

    proc `==`(rawCode: string; code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Source Edit

    proc is2xx(code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Determines whether `code` is a 2xx HTTP status code. Source Edit

    proc is3xx(code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Determines whether `code` is a 3xx HTTP status code. Source Edit

    proc is4xx(code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Determines whether `code` is a 4xx HTTP status code. Source Edit

    proc is5xx(code: HttpCode): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Determines whether `code` is a 5xx HTTP status code. Source Edit

    proc `$`(httpMethod: HttpMethod): string {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

# Iterators

    iterator pairs(headers: HttpHeaders): tuple[key, value: string] {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

  Yields each key, value pair. Source Edit

# Converters
