Usage examples
==============

[](#usage-examples)

FileResponse
------------

[](#fileresponse)

```
use alcamo\http\FileResponse;

$response = FileResponse::newFromPath('/srv/www/htdocs/foo.xml');

$response->emit();

```

This sends an HTTP response with `Content-Type` and `Content-Length`headers. It may be more efficient than doing the same thing simply with `Laminas\Diactoros\Response` because is sends the file via `fpassthru()`, without need to keep the entire file content in memory.

PipeStream
----------

[](#pipestream)

```
use alcamo\http\{PipeStream, Response};
use alcamo\process\OutputProcess;

$stream = new PipeStream(new OutputProcess('/usr/bin/convert foo.png jpeg:-'));

$response = new Response(
    [ [ 'dc:format', 'image/jpeg' ] ],
    $stream
);

$response->emit();

```

This sends an HTTP response with `Content-Type` header. Again, it may be more efficient than doing the same thing simply with `Laminas\Diactoros\Response` because is sends the file via `fpassthru()`, without need to keep the entire data in memory.

The example also illustrates a possible use of the `Response` class, giving RDFa metadata which is automatically converted into HTTP headers.

Simple status page
------------------

[](#simple-status-page)

```
use alcamo\http\Response;

$response = Response::newFromStatusAndText(403);

$response->emit();

```

This will send an HTTP response with `Content-Type: text/plain` and `Content-Length` header, with status code 403 and the text "Forbidden".
