# WsContents

## Overview

The `WsContents` class represents the contents or parts of an HTTP request. It provides functionality to access metadata and content details of uploaded files or form data in a request. The contents include attributes such as the content name, field name, content type, size, and raw byte data. Additionally, it allows retrieval of the content as a string with a specified encoding.

Key methods include `getName()` to get the content name, `getFieldName()` to retrieve the field name, `getContentType()` to access the MIME type, and `getSize()` to get the content size in bytes. The class also provides methods like `getBytes()` to obtain raw byte data and `getString(encoding)` to convert the content into a string using a specified encoding.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.servoy.com/reference/servoyextensions/server-plugins/rest_ws/wscontents.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
