Mojo::Headers is a container for HTTP headers, based on RFC 7230 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230> and RFC 7231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231>.
Mojo::Headers implements the following attributes.
my $size = $headers->max_line_size; $headers = $headers->max_line_size(1024);
Maximum header line size in bytes, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_MAX_LINE_SIZE" environment variable or 8192 (8KiB).
my $num = $headers->max_lines; $headers = $headers->max_lines(200);
Maximum number of header lines, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_MAX_LINES" environment variable or 100.
Mojo::Headers inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.
