HttpURLConnection

java.lang.Object
- java.net.URLConnection
- - java.net.HttpURLConnection

Direct Known Subclasses:

HttpsURLConnection, HttpURLConnection
```
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.
The HTTP protocol handler has a few settings that can be accessed through System Properties. This covers Proxy settings as well as various other settings.

Security permissions
If a security manager is installed, and if a method is called which results in an attempt to open a connection, the caller must possess a "connect" SocketPermission to the host/port combination of the destination URL
If automatic redirection is enabled, and this request is redirected to another destination, then the caller must also have permission to connect to the redirected host/URL.

Since:

JDK1.1

- Method Detail
  - 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.
  - 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 the connection was not connected, or if the server did not have an error while connecting or if the server had an error but 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.
  - 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)
  - getHeaderField
```
public String getHeaderField(int n)
```
    Returns the value for the n^th header field. Some implementations may treat the 0^th header field as special, i.e. as the status line returned by the HTTP server.
    This method can be used in conjunction with the getHeaderFieldKey method to iterate through all the headers in the message.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getHeaderField in class URLConnection
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - an index, where n>=0.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the n^th header field, or null if the value does not exist.
    
    See Also:
    
    getHeaderFieldKey(int)
  - getHeaderFieldKey
```
public String getHeaderFieldKey(int n)
```
    Returns the key for the n^th header field. Some implementations may treat the 0^th header field as special, i.e. as the status line returned by the HTTP server. In this case, getHeaderField(0) returns the status line, but getHeaderFieldKey(0) returns null.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getHeaderFieldKey in class URLConnection
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - an index, where n >=0.
    
    Returns:
    
    the key for the n^th header field, or null if the key does not exist.

```
public int getResponseCode()
                    throws IOException
```
    Gets the status code from an HTTP response message. For example, in the case of the following status lines:
```
 HTTP/1.0 200 OK
 HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
 
```
    It will return 200 and 401 respectively. Returns -1 if no code can be discerned from the response (i.e., the response is not valid HTTP).
    Returns:
    
    the HTTP Status-Code, or -1
    
    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.
  - setChunkedStreamingMode
```
public void setChunkedStreamingMode(int chunklen)
```
    This method is used to enable streaming of a HTTP request body without internal buffering, when the content length is not known in advance. In this mode, chunked transfer encoding is used to send the request body. Note, not all HTTP servers support this mode.
    When output streaming is enabled, authentication and redirection cannot be handled automatically. A HttpRetryException will be thrown when reading the response if authentication or redirection are required. This exception can be queried for the details of the error.
    This method must be called before the URLConnection is connected.
    
    Parameters:
    
    chunklen - The number of bytes to write in each chunk. If chunklen is less than or equal to zero, a default value will be used.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if URLConnection is already connected or if a different streaming mode is already enabled.
    
    Since:
    
    1.5
    
    See Also:
    
    setFixedLengthStreamingMode(int)
  - setFixedLengthStreamingMode
```
public void setFixedLengthStreamingMode(int contentLength)
```
    This method is used to enable streaming of a HTTP request body without internal buffering, when the content length is known in advance.
    An exception will be thrown if the application attempts to write more data than the indicated content-length, or if the application closes the OutputStream before writing the indicated amount.
    When output streaming is enabled, authentication and redirection cannot be handled automatically. A HttpRetryException will be thrown when reading the response if authentication or redirection are required. This exception can be queried for the details of the error.
    This method must be called before the URLConnection is connected.
    NOTE: setFixedLengthStreamingMode(long) is recommended instead of this method as it allows larger content lengths to be set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    contentLength - The number of bytes which will be written to the OutputStream.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if URLConnection is already connected or if a different streaming mode is already enabled.
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if a content length less than zero is specified.
    
    Since:
    
    1.5
    
    See Also:
    
    setChunkedStreamingMode(int)
  - setFixedLengthStreamingMode
```
public void setFixedLengthStreamingMode(long contentLength)
```
    This method is used to enable streaming of a HTTP request body without internal buffering, when the content length is known in advance.
    An exception will be thrown if the application attempts to write more data than the indicated content-length, or if the application closes the OutputStream before writing the indicated amount.
    When output streaming is enabled, authentication and redirection cannot be handled automatically. A HttpRetryException will be thrown when reading the response if authentication or redirection are required. This exception can be queried for the details of the error.
    This method must be called before the URLConnection is connected.
    The content length set by invoking this method takes precedence over any value set by setFixedLengthStreamingMode(int).
    
    Parameters:
    
    contentLength - The number of bytes which will be written to the OutputStream.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if URLConnection is already connected or if a different streaming mode is already enabled.
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if a content length less than zero is specified.
    
    Since:

  - 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:
    
    getFollowRedirects()
  - 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.
