# HttpClientResponse class

HTTP response for a client connection.

The body of a HttpClientResponse object is a Stream of data from the server. Listen to the body to handle the data and be notified when the entire body is received.

    new HttpClient().get('localhost', 80, '/file.txt')
         .then((HttpClientRequest request) => request.close())
         .then((HttpClientResponse response) {
           response.transform(utf8.decoder).listen((contents) {
             // handle data
           });
         });

## Properties

certificate → X509Certificate

  @Since("2.4"), read-only
connectionInfo → HttpConnectionInfo
  Gets information about the client connection. Returns `null` if the socket is not available.
  read-only
contentLength → int
  Returns the content length of the response body. Returns -1 if the size of the response body is not known in advance. [...]
  read-only
cookies → List<Cookie>
  Cookies set by the server (from the 'set-cookie' header).

headers → HttpHeaders
  Returns the client response headers. [...]
  read-only

  Gets the persistent connection state returned by the server. [...]
  read-only
reasonPhrase → String
  Returns the reason phrase associated with the status code. [...]

  read-only, inherited
single → Future<List<int>>
  The single element of this stream. [...]

## Methods

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. [...]
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. [...]
any(bool test(T element)) → Future<bool>
  Checks whether `test` accepts any element provided by this stream. [...]
  inherited
asBroadcastStream({void onListen(StreamSubscription<T> subscription), void onCancel(StreamSubscription<T> subscription) }) → Stream<List<int>>
  Returns a multi-subscription stream that produces the same events as this. [...]
  inherited
asyncExpand<E>(Stream<E> convert(T event)) → Stream<E>
  Transforms each element into a sequence of asynchronous events. [...]
  inherited
asyncMap<E>(FutureOr<E> convert(T 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>

  inherited
contains(Object needle) → Future<bool>
  Returns whether `needle` occurs in the elements provided by this stream. [...]
  inherited
distinct([bool equals(T previous, T 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(T element)) → Future<bool>
