# HttpClientResponse class abstract interface

HTTP response for a client connection.

The body of an HttpClientResponse object is a Stream of data from the server. Use Stream methods like Stream.transform and Stream.join to access the data.

    var client = HttpClient();
    try {
      HttpClientRequest request = await client.get('localhost', 80, '/file.txt');
      HttpClientResponse response = await request.close();
      final stringData = await response.transform(utf8.decoder).join();
      print(stringData);
    } finally {
      client.close();
    }

Implemented types

## Methods

any(bool test(List<int> element)) → Future<bool>
  Checks whether `test` accepts any element provided by this stream.
  inherited
asBroadcastStream({void onListen(StreamSubscription<List<int>> subscription)?, void onCancel(StreamSubscription<List<int>> subscription)?}) → Stream<List<int>>
  Returns a multi-subscription stream that produces the same events as this.
  inherited
asyncExpand<E>(Stream<E>? convert(List<int> event)) → Stream<E>
  Transforms each element into a sequence of asynchronous events.
  inherited
asyncMap<E>(FutureOr<E> convert(List<int> event)) → Stream<E>
  Creates a new stream with each data event of this stream asynchronously mapped to a new event.
  inherited
cast<R>() → Stream<R>
  Adapt this stream to be a `Stream<R>`.
  inherited
contains(Object? needle) → Future<bool>
  Returns whether `needle` occurs in the elements provided by this stream.
  inherited
detachSocket() → Future<Socket>
  Detach the underlying socket from the HTTP client. When the socket is detached the HTTP client will no longer perform any operations on it.
distinct([bool equals(List<int> previous, List<int> next)?]) → Stream<List<int>>
  Skips data events if they are equal to the previous data event.
  inherited
drain<E>([E? futureValue]) → Future<E>
  Discards all data on this stream, but signals when it is done or an error occurred.
  inherited
elementAt(int index) → Future<List<int>>
  Returns the value of the `index`th data event of this stream.
  inherited
every(bool test(List<int> element)) → Future<bool>
  Checks whether `test` accepts all elements provided by this stream.
  inherited
expand<S>(Iterable<S> convert(List<int> element)) → Stream<S>
  Transforms each element of this stream into a sequence of elements.
  inherited
firstWhere(bool test(List<int> element), {List<int> orElse()?}) → Future<List<int>>
  Finds the first element of this stream matching `test`.
  inherited
fold<S>(S initialValue, S combine(S previous, List<int> element)) → Future<S>
  Combines a sequence of values by repeatedly applying `combine`.
  inherited
forEach(void action(List<int> data)) → Future<void>
  Executes `action` on each element of this stream.
  inherited
handleError(Function onError, {bool test(dynamic error)?}) → Stream<List<int>>
  Creates a wrapper Stream that intercepts some errors from this stream.
  inherited
join([String separator = ""]) → Future<String>
  Combines the string representation of elements into a single string.
  inherited
lastWhere(bool test(List<int> element), {List<int> orElse()?}) → Future<List<int>>

  inherited
listen(void onData(List<int> event)?, {Function? onError, void onDone()?, bool? cancelOnError}) → StreamSubscription<List<int>>
  Adds a subscription to this stream.
  inherited
map<S>(S convert(List<int> event)) → Stream<S>
  Transforms each element of this stream into a new stream event.
  inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
  Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
  inherited
pipe(StreamConsumer<List<int>> streamConsumer) → Future
  Pipes the events of this stream into `streamConsumer`.
  inherited
redirect([String? method, Uri? url, bool? followLoops]) → Future<HttpClientResponse>
  Redirects this connection to a new URL. The default value for `method` is the method for the current request. The default value for `url` is the value of the HttpHeaders.locationHeader header of the current response. All body data must have been read from the current response before calling redirect.
reduce(List<int> combine(List<int> previous, List<int> element)) → Future<List<int>>
  Combines a sequence of values by repeatedly applying `combine`.

  inherited
skipWhile(bool test(List<int> element)) → Stream<List<int>>

  inherited
take(int count) → Stream<List<int>>
  Provides at most the first `count` data events of this stream.
  inherited
takeWhile(bool test(List<int> element)) → Stream<List<int>>
