WSGIResponse

A basic HTTP response with content, headers, and out-bound cookies

The WSGIResponse class is accessible via the paste.wsgiwrappers module.

The class variable defaults specifies default values for content_type, charset and errors. These can be overridden for the current request via the registry.

Attributes

a charset

Get/set the charset (in the Content-Type)

a content

Get/set the specified content, where content can be: a string, a list of strings, a generator function that yields strings, or an iterable object that produces strings.

a content_type

Get/set the Content-Type header (or None), without the charset or any parameters.

If you include parameters (or ; at all) when setting the content_type, any existing parameters will be deleted; otherwise they will be preserved.

a defaults

{'headers': {'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'}, 'errors': 'strict', 'charset': 'utf-8', 'content_type': 'text/html'}
