HTTPClient
Class Response

java.lang.Object
HTTPClient.Response

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, HTTPClient.GlobalConstants, RoResponse

public final class Response

extends java.lang.Object

implements RoResponse, HTTPClient.GlobalConstants, java.lang.Cloneable

This class represents an intermediate response. It's used internally by the modules. When all modules have handled the response then the HTTPResponse fills in its fields with the data from this class.

Parameters:

header - The name of header field to set.

value - The value to set the field to.

deleteHeader

public void deleteHeader(java.lang.String header)

Removes a header field from the list of headers. This is used by some modules when they process the header so that higher level stuff doesn't get confused when the headers and data don't match.

getTrailer

public java.lang.String getTrailer(java.lang.String trailer)
                            throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

getTrailer in interface RoResponse

Parameters:

trailer - the trailer name.

Returns:

the value for the trailer, or null if non-existent.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If any exception occurs on the socket.

                                throws java.io.IOException,
                                       java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

trailer - the trailer name.

Returns:

the value for the trailer, or null if non-existent.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the trailer's value is neither a legal date nor a number.

java.io.IOException - if any exception occurs on the socket.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the header cannot be parsed as a date or time.

setTrailer

public void setTrailer(java.lang.String trailer,
                       java.lang.String value)

Set a trailer field in the list of trailers. If the trailer already exists it will be overwritten; otherwise the trailer will be added to the list. This is used by some modules when they process the trailer so that higher level stuff doesn't get confused when the trailer and data don't match.

Parameters:

trailer - The name of trailer field to set.

value - The value to set the field to.

deleteTrailer

public void deleteTrailer(java.lang.String trailer)

Removes a trailer field from the list of trailers. This is used by some modules when they process the trailer so that higher level stuff doesn't get confused when the trailers and data don't match.

Parameters:

trailer - The name of trailer field to remove.

getData

public byte[] getData()
               throws java.io.IOException

Reads all the response data into a byte array. Note that this method won't return until all the data has been received (so for instance don't invoke this method if the server is doing a server push). If getInputStream() had been previously called then this method only returns any unread data remaining on the stream and then closes it.

Specified by:

getData in interface RoResponse

Returns:

an array containing the data (body) returned. If no data was returned then it's set to a zero-length array.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If any io exception occured while reading the data

See Also:

getInputStream()

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Gets an input stream from which the returned data can be read. Note that if getData() had been previously called it will actually return a ByteArrayInputStream created from that data.

Specified by:

getInputStream in interface RoResponse

Returns:

the InputStream.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If any exception occurs on the socket.

See Also:

getData()

hasEntity

public boolean hasEntity()
                  throws java.io.IOException

Some responses such as those from a HEAD or with certain status codes don't have an entity. This is detected by the client and can be queried here. Note that this won't try to do a read() on the input stream (it will however cause the headers to be read and parsed if not already done).

Returns:

true if the response has an entity, false otherwise

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Since:

V0.3-1

setRetryRequest

public void setRetryRequest(boolean flag)

Should the request be retried by the application? This can be used by modules to signal to the application that it should retry the request. It's used when the request used an HttpOutputStream and the module is therefore not able to retry the request itself. This flag is false by default.

If a module sets this flag then it must also reset() the the HttpOutputStream so it may be reused by the application. It should then also use this HttpOutputStream to recognize the retried request in the requestHandler().

Parameters:

flag - indicates whether the application should retry the request.

retryRequest

public boolean retryRequest()

Returns:

true if the request should be retried.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Returns:

a clone of this request object
