encodeBody property

bool encodeBody
getter/setter pair

Whether or not the body object of this instance should be encoded.

By default, a body object is encoded according to its contentType and the corresponding Codec in CodecRegistry.

If this instance's body object has already been encoded as a list of bytes by some other mechanism, this property should be set to false to avoid the encoding process. This is useful when streaming a file from disk where it is already stored as an encoded list of bytes.

Implementation

bool encodeBody = true;
