+== NAME
+
+nng_http_res_copy_data - copy HTTP response body
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+----
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+#include <nng/supplemental/http/http.h>
+
+int nng_http_res_copy_data(nng_http_res *res, const void *body, size_t size);
+----
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_http_res_copy_data()` makes a copy of _body_ (of size __size__)
+and sets the HTTP body for the response _res_ to it.
+The copy will be deallocated automatically when _res_ is freed.
+
+The copied body data will be automatically sent with the response when it
+is sent using <<nng_http_conn_write_res.3http#,`nni_http_conn_write_res()`>>.
+
+This also updates the relevant `Content-Length` header of _res_.
+
+NOTE: The current framework does not support sending data via chunked
+transfer-encoding.
+
+TIP: To avoid copying data, the
+<<nng_http_res_set_data.3http#,`nng_http_res_set_data()`>> may be used instead.
+
+TIP: It is a good idea to also set the `Content-Type` header.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient memory to perform the operation.
+`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: No support for HTTP in the library.
