Net::HTTPHeader#[]=

(::interned key, untyped val) -> void

[]=(key, val)

# File tmp/rubies/ruby-4.0.0/lib/net/http/header.rb, line 242
def []=(key, val)
  unless val
    @header.delete key.downcase.to_s
    return val
  end
  set_field(key, val)
end

Sets the value for the case-insensitive key to val, overwriting the previous value if the field exists; see Fields:

Example

req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req['Accept'] # => "*/*"
req['Accept'] = 'text/html'
req['Accept'] # => "text/html"

Note that some field values may be set via convenience methods; see Setters.
