Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] HTTP Server - Set response Content-Type

[David H. <dav...@gm...>]

Hey Dean,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I can't find the example you are talking about... i'm using 0.8 version.

I'm also getting some compile errors when I try to push the content-type
header on the response.headers

Here's my code:

    Server::response_header content_type = {"Content-Type",
"application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml"};

    // set message in response
    response = Server::response::stock_reply(Server::response::ok,
kml_string);

    // set MIME type for response
    response.headers.push_back( content_type );

And here's my error:

error: no matching function for call to
'std::vector<boost::network::http::request_header<boost::network::http::tags::http_server>,
std::allocator<boost::network::http::request_header<boost::network::http::tags::http_server>
>
>::push_back(boost::network::http::response_header<boost::network::http::tags::http_server>&)'
/usr/include/c++/4.4/bits/stl_vector.h:733: note: candidates are: void
std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::push_back(const _Tp&) [with _Tp =
boost::network::http::request_header<boost::network::http::tags::http_server>,
_Alloc =
std::allocator<boost::network::http::request_header<boost::network::http::tags::http_server>
>]

These error messages are impossible to decipher... any ideas?
The only candidate function it's listing is using
boost::network::http::request_header. I tried that too and no dice.
