class Rack::Cache::Response

Provides access to the response generated by the downstream application. The response, original_response, and entry objects exposed by the Core caching engine are instances of this class.

Response objects respond to a variety of convenience methods, including those defined in Rack::Response::Helpers, Rack::Cache::Headers, and Rack::Cache::ResponseHeaders.

Note that Rack::Cache::Response is not a subclass of Rack::Response and does not perform many of the same initialization and finalization tasks. For example, the body is not slurped during initialization and there are no facilities for generating response output.

Public Class Methods

new(status, headers, body) click to toggle source

Create a Response instance given the response status code, header hash, and body.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 32
def initialize(status, headers, body)
  @status = status.to_i
  @headers = Rack::Utils::HeaderHash.new(headers)
  @body = body
  @now = Time.now
  @headers['Date'] ||= @now.httpdate
end

Public Instance Methods

age() click to toggle source

The age of the response.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 148
def age
  (headers['Age'] ||  [(now - date).to_i, 0].max).to_i
end
cache_control() click to toggle source

A Hash of name=value pairs that correspond to the Cache-Control header. Valueless parameters (e.g., must-revalidate, no-store) have a Hash value of true. This method always returns a Hash, empty if no Cache-Control header is present.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 68
def cache_control
  @cache_control ||= CacheControl.new(headers['Cache-Control'])
end
cache_control=(value) click to toggle source

Set the Cache-Control header to the values specified by the Hash. See the cache_control method for information on expected Hash structure.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 74
def cache_control=(value)
  if value.respond_to? :to_hash
    cache_control.clear
    cache_control.merge!(value)
    value = cache_control.to_s
  end

  if value.nil? || value.empty?
    headers.delete('Cache-Control')
  else
    headers['Cache-Control'] = value
  end
end
cacheable?() click to toggle source

Determine if the response is worth caching under any circumstance. Responses marked “private” with an explicit Cache-Control directive are considered uncacheable

Responses with neither a freshness lifetime (Expires, max-age) nor cache validator (Last-Modified, ETag) are considered uncacheable.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 102
def cacheable?
  return false unless CACHEABLE_RESPONSE_CODES.include?(status)
  return false if cache_control.no_store? || cache_control.private?
  validateable? || fresh?
end
client_ttl=(seconds) click to toggle source

Set the response’s time-to-live for private/client caches. This adjusts the Cache-Control/max-age directive.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 196
def client_ttl=(seconds)
  self.max_age = age + seconds
end
date() click to toggle source

The date, as specified by the Date header. When no Date header is present, set the Date header to Time.now and return.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 138
def date
  if date = headers['Date']
    Time.httpdate(date)
  else
    headers['Date'] = now.httpdate unless headers.frozen?
    now
  end
end
etag() click to toggle source

The literal value of ETag HTTP header or nil if no ETag is specified.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 207
def etag
  headers['ETag']
end
expire!() click to toggle source

Mark the response stale by setting the Age header to be equal to the maximum age of the response.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 132
def expire!
  headers['Age'] = max_age.to_s if fresh?
end
expires() click to toggle source

The value of the Expires header as a Time object.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 164
def expires
  headers['Expires'] && Time.httpdate(headers['Expires'])
end
fresh?() click to toggle source

Determine if the response is “fresh”. Fresh responses may be served from cache without any interaction with the origin. A response is considered fresh when it includes a Cache-Control/max-age indicator or Expiration header and the calculated age is less than the freshness lifetime.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 92
def fresh?
  ttl && ttl > 0
end
initialize_copy(other) click to toggle source
# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 40
def initialize_copy(other)
  super
  @headers = other.headers.dup
end
last_modified() click to toggle source

The String value of the Last-Modified header exactly as it appears in the response (i.e., no date parsing / conversion is performed).

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 202
def last_modified
  headers['Last-Modified']
end
max_age() click to toggle source

The number of seconds after the time specified in the response’s Date header when the the response should no longer be considered fresh. First check for a s-maxage directive, then a max-age directive, and then fall back on an expires header; return nil when no maximum age can be established.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 157
def max_age
  cache_control.shared_max_age ||
    cache_control.max_age ||
    (expires && (expires - date))
end
max_age=(value) click to toggle source

The number of seconds after which the response should no longer be considered fresh. Sets the Cache-Control max-age directive.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 170
def max_age=(value)
  self.cache_control = cache_control.merge('max-age' => value.to_s)
end
must_revalidate?() click to toggle source

Indicates that the cache must not serve a stale response in any circumstance without first revalidating with the origin. When present, the TTL of the response should not be overriden to be greater than the value provided by the origin.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 126
def must_revalidate?
  cache_control.must_revalidate || cache_control.proxy_revalidate
end
not_modified!() click to toggle source

Modify the response so that it conforms to the rules defined for ‘304 Not Modified’. This sets the status, removes the body, and discards any headers that MUST NOT be included in 304 responses.

tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.3.5

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 229
def not_modified!
  body.close if body.respond_to?(:close)
  self.status = 304
  self.body = []
  NOT_MODIFIED_OMIT_HEADERS.each { |name| headers.delete(name) }
  nil
end
private=(value) click to toggle source

Mark the response “private”, making it ineligible for serving other clients.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 116
def private=(value)
  value = value ? true : nil
  self.cache_control = cache_control.
    merge('public' => !value, 'private' => value)
end
shared_max_age=(value) click to toggle source

Like max_age= but sets the s-maxage directive, which applies only to shared caches.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 176
def shared_max_age=(value)
  self.cache_control = cache_control.merge('s-maxage' => value.to_s)
end
to_a() click to toggle source

Return the status, headers, and body in a three-tuple.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 46
def to_a
  [status, headers.to_hash, body]
end
ttl() click to toggle source

The response’s time-to-live in seconds, or nil when no freshness information is present in the response. When the responses ttl is <= 0, the response may not be served from cache without first revalidating with the origin.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 184
def ttl
  max_age - age if max_age
end
ttl=(seconds) click to toggle source

Set the response’s time-to-live for shared caches to the specified number of seconds. This adjusts the Cache-Control/s-maxage directive.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 190
def ttl=(seconds)
  self.shared_max_age = age + seconds
end
validateable?() click to toggle source

Determine if the response includes headers that can be used to validate the response with the origin using a conditional GET request.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 110
def validateable?
  headers.key?('Last-Modified') || headers.key?('ETag')
end
vary() click to toggle source

The literal value of the Vary header, or nil when no header is present.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 238
def vary
  headers['Vary']
end
vary?() click to toggle source

Does the response include a Vary header?

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 243
def vary?
  ! vary.nil?
end
vary_header_names() click to toggle source

An array of header names given in the Vary header or an empty array when no Vary header is present.

# File lib/rack/cache/response.rb, line 249
def vary_header_names
  return [] unless vary = headers['Vary']
  vary.split(%r[\s,]+/)
end
