Detailed Description

RWMimeParameter represents a parameter within the value of a MIME header. Each MIME parameter has a name and a value. An equal sign separates the name and the value. For example, the parameter charset=US-ASCII contains the name charset and the value US-ASCII.

The parameter name may consist of US-ASCII characters with the exception of control characters, space, or any of the special characters shown below:

 ()<>@,;:\"/[]?=

The parameter value may contain any US-ASCII character with the exception of US-ASCII control characters, carriage return, and linefeed.

Reference

RWMimeParameter creates parameters in the syntax specified by RFC 2045, Section 5 (p. 9-12) and in compliance with RFC 2822.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWMimeParameter::RWMimeParameter

(

void

)

Default constructor. Constructs a parameter with an empty name and an empty value.

Note:

A parameter with an empty name and an empty value does not meet the specification of a MIME Content-Type parameter.

RWMimeParameter::RWMimeParameter	(	const RWCString &	name,
		const RWCString &	value
	)

Constructs a parameter with the given name and value. Does not validate name or value. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

RWMimeParameter::RWMimeParameter

(

const RWMimeParameter &

second

)

Copy constructor. Constructs a new parameter as a deep copy of second.

RWMimeParameter::~RWMimeParameter

(

void

)

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

RWCString RWMimeParameter::asString

(

void

)

const

Returns this parameter as a string. Produces a string in the format name="value". Escapes the parameter value as necessary to generate a correctly quoted and escaped string. Does not otherwise validate the returned string. Throws RWMimeError if self cannot be represented as valid MIME. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

void RWMimeParameter::fromString

(

const RWCString &

parameterString

)

Populates self with the contents of parameterString. Throws RWMimeParseError if the function cannot parse parameterString as a valid MIME parameter. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

RWCString RWMimeParameter::getName

(

void

)

const

Returns the name of this parameter. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

RWCString RWMimeParameter::getValue

(

void

)

const

Returns the value of this parameter. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

RWMimeParameter& RWMimeParameter::operator=

(

const RWMimeParameter &

second

)

Assignment operator. Makes self a deep copy of second.

void RWMimeParameter::setName

(

const RWCString &

name

)

Sets the name of this parameter to name. Does not validate name. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

void RWMimeParameter::setValue

(

const RWCString &

value

)

Sets the value of this parameter to value. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

Friends And Related Function Documentation

bool operator==	(	const RWMimeParameter &	first,
		const RWMimeParameter &	second
	)			[friend]

Equality operator. Returns true if first and second are equal, false otherwise. Uses a case-insensitive string comparison for parameter names, a case-sensitive string comparison for parameter values.
