ContentType Property

The content type of the outgoing message.

Syntax

 stomp.getContentType([callback])
 stomp.setContentType( contentType, [callback])

Default Value

"text/plain"

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getContentType([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setContentType([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property is used to specify the content type (MIME type) for outgoing messages sent using SendMessage. The default value is text/plain, which should be sufficient is most cases.

Note that this property is ignored for messages sent using SendData, as such messages do not have a content-type header added to them. The absence of a content-type header indicates to the server that the data should be treated as a binary blob.

This property is not available at design time.
