class openfl.events.HTTPStatusEvent extends Event

Available on all platforms

The application dispatches HTTPStatusEvent objects when a network request returns an HTTP status code.

HTTPStatusEvent objects are always sent before error or completion events. An HTTPStatusEvent object does not necessarily indicate an error condition; it simply reflects the HTTP status code(if any) that is provided by the networking stack. Some Flash Player environments may be unable to detect HTTP status codes; a status code of 0 is always reported in these cases.

In Flash Player, there is only one type of HTTPStatus event: httpStatus. In the AIR runtime, a FileReference, URLLoader, or URLStream can register to listen for an httpResponseStatus, which includes responseURL and responseHeaders properties. These properties are undefined in a httpStatus event.

Class Fields

static var HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS:String

Unlike the httpStatus event, the httpResponseStatus event is delivered before any response data. Also, the httpResponseStatus event includes values for the responseHeaders and responseURL properties (which are undefined for an httpStatus event. Note that the httpResponseStatus event(if any) will be sent before(and in addition to) any complete or error event.

The HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS constant defines the value of the type property of a httpResponseStatus event object.

This event has the following properties:

static var HTTP_STATUS:String

The HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS constant defines the value of the type property of a httpStatus event object.

This event has the following properties:

Instance Fields

var responseHeaders:Array<Dynamic>

The response headers that the response returned, as an array of URLRequestHeader objects.

var responseURL:String

The URL that the response was returned from. In the case of redirects, this will be different from the request URL.

var status:Int

The HTTP status code returned by the server. For example, a value of 404 indicates that the server has not found a match for the requested URI. HTTP status codes can be found in sections 10.4 and 10.5 of the HTTP specification at <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html" scope="external">http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html.

If Flash Player or AIR cannot get a status code from the server, or if it cannot communicate with the server, the default value of 0 is passed to your code. A value of 0 can be generated in any player(for example, if a malformed URL is requested), and a value of 0 is always generated by the Flash Player plug-in when it is run in the following browsers, which do not pass HTTP status codes to the player: Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer for the Macintosh.

function new(type:String, ?bubbles:Bool = false, ?cancelable:Bool = false, ?status:Int = 0):Void

Creates an Event object that contains specific information about HTTP status events. Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.

type

The type of the event. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited type property. There is only one type of HTTPStatus event: HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS.

bubbles

Determines whether the Event object participates in the bubbling stage of the event flow. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited bubbles property.

cancelable

Determines whether the Event object can be canceled. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited cancelable property.

status

Numeric status. Event listeners can access this information through the status property.
