cherrypy.lib.encoding

Classes

class cherrypy.lib.encoding.ResponseEncoder(**kwargs)

encode_stream(encoding)

Encode a streaming response body.

Use a generator wrapper, and just pray it works as the stream is being written out.

encode_string(encoding)

Encode a buffered response body.

Functions

cherrypy.lib.encoding.decode(encoding=None, default_encoding='utf-8')

Replace or extend the list of charsets used to decode a request entity.

Either argument may be a single string or a list of strings.

encoding

If not None, restricts the set of charsets attempted while decoding a request entity to the given set (even if a different charset is given in the Content-Type request header).

default_encoding

Only in effect if the ‘encoding’ argument is not given. If given, the set of charsets attempted while decoding a request entity is extended with the given value(s).

cherrypy.lib.encoding.compress(body, compress_level)

Compress ‘body’ at the given compress_level.

cherrypy.lib.encoding.decompress(body)

cherrypy.lib.encoding.gzip(compress_level=5, mime_types=[, 'text/html', 'text/plain'], debug=False)

Try to gzip the response body if Content-Type in mime_types.

cherrypy.response.headers[‘Content-Type’] must be set to one of the values in the mime_types arg before calling this function.

The provided list of mime-types must be of one of the following form:

• type/subtype
• type/*
• type/*+subtype

No compression is performed if any of the following hold:

• The client sends no Accept-Encoding request header
• No ‘gzip’ or ‘x-gzip’ is present in the Accept-Encoding header
• No ‘gzip’ or ‘x-gzip’ with a qvalue > 0 is present
• The ‘identity’ value is given with a qvalue > 0.
