Class Method Details

.params(content_type) ⇒ Object

The media type parameters provided in CONTENT_TYPE as a Hash, or an empty Hash if no CONTENT_TYPE or media-type parameters were provided. e.g., when the CONTENT_TYPE is “text/plain;charset=utf-8”, this method responds with the following Hash:

{ 'charset' => 'utf-8' } 

This will pass back parameters with empty strings in the hash if they lack a value (e.g., “text/plain;charset=” will return { ‘charset’ => ” }, and “text/plain;charset” will return { ‘charset’ => ” }, similarly to the query params parser (barring the latter case, which returns nil instead)).

.type(content_type) ⇒ Object

The media type (type/subtype) portion of the CONTENT_TYPE header without any media type parameters. e.g., when CONTENT_TYPE is “text/plain;charset=utf-8”, the media-type is “text/plain”.
