toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Description copied from class: java.lang.Object

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Returns:

a string containing the HttpHeaderElement formatted as it would appear in a header

appendTo

public void appendTo(java.lang.StringBuffer buf)

Append this header element to the given buffer. This is basically a more efficient version of toString() for assembling multiple elements.

Parameters:

buf - the StringBuffer to append this header to
