public abstract class HttpURLConnection

extends URLConnection

A URLConnection with support for HTTP-specific features. See the spec for details.

Each HttpURLConnection instance is used to make a single request but the underlying network connection to the HTTP server may be transparently shared by other instances. Calling the close() methods on the InputStream or OutputStream of an HttpURLConnection after a request may free network resources associated with this instance but has no effect on any shared persistent connection. Calling the disconnect() method may close the underlying socket if a persistent connection is otherwise idle at that time.

Since:

JDK1.1

disconnect()

Constructor Detail

HttpURLConnection

protected HttpURLConnection(URL u)

Constructor for the URLStreamHandler.

Parameters:

u - the URL

Method Detail

setFollowRedirects

public static void setFollowRedirects(boolean set)

Sets whether HTTP redirects (requests with response code 3xx) should be automatically followed by this class. True by default. Applets cannot change this variable.

If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's checkSetFactory method to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.

Parameters:

set - a boolean indicating whether or not to follow HTTP redirects.

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkSetFactory method doesn't allow the operation.

See Also:

SecurityManager.checkSetFactory(), getFollowRedirects()

getFollowRedirects

public static boolean getFollowRedirects()

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not HTTP redirects (3xx) should be automatically followed.

Returns:

true if HTTP redirects should be automatically followed, false if not.

See Also:

setFollowRedirects(boolean)

setInstanceFollowRedirects

public void setInstanceFollowRedirects(boolean followRedirects)

Sets whether HTTP redirects (requests with response code 3xx) should be automatically followed by this HttpURLConnection instance.

The default value comes from followRedirects, which defaults to true.

Parameters:

followRedirects - a boolean indicating whether or not to follow HTTP redirects.

See Also:

instanceFollowRedirects, getInstanceFollowRedirects()

getInstanceFollowRedirects

public boolean getInstanceFollowRedirects()

Returns the value of this HttpURLConnection's instanceFollowRedirects field.

Returns:

the value of this HttpURLConnection's instanceFollowRedirects field.

See Also:

instanceFollowRedirects, setInstanceFollowRedirects(boolean)

setRequestMethod

public void setRequestMethod(String method)
                      throws ProtocolException

Set the method for the URL request, one of:

• GET
• POST
• HEAD
• OPTIONS
• PUT
• DELETE
• TRACE

are legal, subject to protocol restrictions. The default method is GET.

Parameters:

method - the HTTP method

Throws:

ProtocolException - if the method cannot be reset or if the requested method isn't valid for HTTP.

See Also:

getRequestMethod()

getRequestMethod

public String getRequestMethod()

Get the request method.

Returns:

the HTTP request method

See Also:

setRequestMethod(java.lang.String)

getResponseCode

public int getResponseCode()
                    throws IOException

Gets HTTP response status from responses like:

 HTTP/1.0 200 OK
 HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
 

Extracts the ints 200 and 401 respectively. Returns -1 if none can be discerned from the response (i.e., the response is not valid HTTP).

Returns:

the HTTP Status-Code

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurred connecting to the server.

getResponseMessage

public String getResponseMessage()
                          throws IOException

Gets the HTTP response message, if any, returned along with the response code from a server. From responses like:

 HTTP/1.0 200 OK
 HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found
 

Extracts the Strings "OK" and "Not Found" respectively. Returns null if none could be discerned from the responses (the result was not valid HTTP).

Returns:

the HTTP response message, or null

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurred connecting to the server.

getHeaderFieldDate

public long getHeaderFieldDate(String name,
                               long Default)

Description copied from class: URLConnection

Returns the value of the named field parsed as date. The result is the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 GMT represented by the named field.

This form of getHeaderField exists because some connection types (e.g., http-ng) have pre-parsed headers. Classes for that connection type can override this method and short-circuit the parsing.

Overrides:

getHeaderFieldDate in class URLConnection

Following copied from class: java.net.URLConnection

Parameters:

name - the name of the header field.

Default - a default value.

Returns:

the value of the field, parsed as a date. The value of the Default argument is returned if the field is missing or malformed.

disconnect

public abstract void disconnect()

Indicates that other requests to the server are unlikely in the near future. Calling disconnect() should not imply that this HttpURLConnection instance can be reused for other requests.

usingProxy

public abstract boolean usingProxy()

Indicates if the connection is going through a proxy.

Returns:

a boolean indicating if the connection is using a proxy.

getPermission

public Permission getPermission()
                         throws IOException

Description copied from class: URLConnection

Returns a permission object representing the permission necessary to make the connection represented by this object. This method returns null if no permission is required to make the connection. By default, this method returns java.security.AllPermission. Subclasses should override this method and return the permission that best represents the permission required to make a a connection to the URL. For example, a URLConnection representing a file: URL would return a java.io.FilePermission object.

The permission returned may dependent upon the state of the connection. For example, the permission before connecting may be different from that after connecting. For example, an HTTP sever, say foo.com, may redirect the connection to a different host, say bar.com. Before connecting the permission returned by the connection will represent the permission needed to connect to foo.com, while the permission returned after connecting will be to bar.com.

Permissions are generally used for two purposes: to protect caches of objects obtained through URLConnections, and to check the right of a recipient to learn about a particular URL. In the first case, the permission should be obtained after the object has been obtained. For example, in an HTTP connection, this will represent the permission to connect to the host from which the data was ultimately fetched. In the second case, the permission should be obtained and tested before connecting.

Overrides:

getPermission in class URLConnection

Following copied from class: java.net.URLConnection

Returns:

the permission object representing the permission necessary to make the connection represented by this URLConnection.

Throws:

IOException - if the computation of the permission requires network or file I/O and an exception occurs while computing it.

getErrorStream

public InputStream getErrorStream()

Returns the error stream if the connection failed but the server sent useful data nonetheless. The typical example is when an HTTP server responds with a 404, which will cause a FileNotFoundException to be thrown in connect, but the server sent an HTML help page with suggestions as to what to do.

This method will not cause a connection to be initiated. If there the connection was not connected, or if the server did not have an error while connecting or if the server did have an error but there no error data was sent, this method will return null. This is the default.

Returns:

an error stream if any, null if there have been no errors, the connection is not connected or the server sent no useful data.
