NAME

Apache2::REST::WriterStream - A base class for writing a response as a stream

You can override this if you like but remember it has to build an object without arguments.

It is called like this by the framework:

So you can adapt the mime type according to the response to be given.

It is called by the framework like this ($resp is a Apache2::REST::Response):

    $this->getPreambleBytes($resp) ;

Returns the next bytes of the stream, or undef at the end of the stream.

Called by the framework like that:

while( defined my $bytes = $this->getNextBytes($response) ){ ... }

getPostambleBytes

Returns the last bytes to write in the stream when the stream is finished.

Called by the framework like that:

$this->getPostambleBytes($response);
