Class: Net::SFTP::Request

Class | Net::SFTP::Request
In: | lib/net/sftp/request.rb
Parent: | Object

Encapsulates a single active SFTP request. This is instantiated automatically by the Net::SFTP::Session class when an operation is executed.

      request = sftp.open("/path/to/file")
      puts request.pending? #-> true
      request.wait
      puts request.pending? #-> false
      result = request.response

### Methods

[] []= pending? wait

### Included Modules

Constants::PacketTypes

### Attributes

callback | [R] | The callback (if any) associated with this request. When the response is recieved for this request, the callback will be invoked.
id | [R] | The SFTP packet identifier for this request
properties | [R] | The hash of properties associated with this request. Properties allow programmers to associate arbitrary data with a request, making state machines richer.
response | [R] | The response that was received for this request (see Net::SFTP::Response)
session | [R] | The Net::SFTP session object that is servicing this request
type | [R] | The type of this request (e.g., :open, :symlink, etc.)

### Public Instance methods

[](key)

Returns the value of property with the given `key`. If `key` is not a symbol, it will be converted to a symbol before lookup.

[]=(key, value)

Sets the value of the property with name `key` to `value`. If `key` is not a symbol, it will be converted to a symbol before lookup.

pending?()

Returns `true` if the request is still waiting for a response from the server, and `false` otherwise. The SSH event loop must be run in order for a request to be processed; see wait.

wait()

Waits (blocks) until the server responds to this packet. If prior SFTP packets were also pending, they will be processed as well (since SFTP packets are processed in the order in which they are received by the server). Returns the request object itself.
