If data is sequential, the body of the message is sent in chunks: otherwise, the function assumes all the content is available and sends it all at once but the read is done in chunks.

Note: This function takes the ownership of data.

void QHttpServerResponder::write(QIODevice *data, const QByteArray &mimeType, QHttpServerResponder::StatusCode status = StatusCode::Ok)

Answers a request with an HTTP status code status and a MIME type mimeType. The I/O device data provides the body of the response. If data is sequential, the body of the message is sent in chunks: otherwise, the function assumes all the content is available and sends it all at once but the read is done in chunks.
