encoding property

Encoding get encoding

The encoding used for the request.

This encoding is used when converting between bodyBytes and body.

If the request has a Content-Type header and that header has a charset parameter, that parameter's value is used as the encoding. Otherwise, if encoding has been set manually, that encoding is used. If that hasn't been set either, this defaults to utf8.

If the charset parameter's value is not a known Encoding, reading this will throw a FormatException.

If the request has a Content-Type header, setting this will set the charset parameter on that header.

Implementation

Encoding get encoding {
  if (_contentType == null ||
      !_contentType!.parameters.containsKey('charset')) {
    return _defaultEncoding;
  }
  return requiredEncodingForCharset(_contentType!.parameters['charset']!);
}

set encoding (Encoding value)

Implementation

set encoding(Encoding value) {
  _checkFinalized();
  _defaultEncoding = value;
  var contentType = _contentType;
  if (contentType == null) return;
  _contentType = contentType.change(parameters: {'charset': value.name});
}
