Method Detail

addRequestProperty

public void addRequestProperty(String key,
                               String value)

Adds a general request property specified by a key-value pair. This method will not overwrite existing values associated with the same key.

Overrides:

addRequestProperty in class URLConnection

Parameters:

key - the keyword by which the request is known (e.g., "accept").

value - the value associated with it.

Since:

1.4

See Also:

getRequestProperties()

connect

public void connect()
             throws IOException

Description copied from class: URLConnection

Opens a communications link to the resource referenced by this URL, if such a connection has not already been established.

If the connect method is called when the connection has already been opened (indicated by the connected field having the value true), the call is ignored.

URLConnection objects go through two phases: first they are created, then they are connected. After being created, and before being connected, various options can be specified (e.g., doInput and UseCaches). After connecting, it is an error to try to set them. Operations that depend on being connected, like getContentLength, will implicitly perform the connection, if necessary.

Specified by:

connect in class URLConnection

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs while opening the connection.

See Also:

URLConnection.connected, URLConnection.getConnectTimeout(), URLConnection.setConnectTimeout(int)

disconnect

public void disconnect()

Disconnect from the server (public API)

Specified by:

disconnect in class HttpURLConnection

getConnectTimeout

public int getConnectTimeout()

Returns setting for connect timeout.

0 return implies that the option is disabled (i.e., timeout of infinity).

Overrides:

getConnectTimeout in class URLConnection

Returns:

an int that indicates the connect timeout value in milliseconds

Since:

1.5

See Also:

URLConnection.setConnectTimeout(int), URLConnection.connect()

getErrorStream

public InputStream getErrorStream()

Description copied from class: HttpURLConnection

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.

Overrides:

getErrorStream in class HttpURLConnection

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.

getHeaderField

public String getHeaderField(int n)

Gets a header field by index. Returns null if not known.

Overrides:

getHeaderField in class HttpURLConnection

Parameters:

n - the index of the header field

Returns:

the value of the n^th header field, or null if the value does not exist.

See Also:

HttpURLConnection.getHeaderFieldKey(int)

getHeaderField

public String getHeaderField(String name)

Gets a header field by name. Returns null if not known.

Overrides:

getHeaderField in class URLConnection

Parameters:

name - the name of the header field

Returns:

the value of the named header field, or null if there is no such field in the header.

getHeaderFieldKey

public String getHeaderFieldKey(int n)

Gets a header field by index. Returns null if not known.

Overrides:

getHeaderFieldKey in class HttpURLConnection

Parameters:

n - the index of the header field

Returns:

the key for the n^th header field, or null if the key does not exist.

getHeaderFields

public Map<String,List<String>> getHeaderFields()

Returns an unmodifiable Map of the header fields. The Map keys are Strings that represent the response-header field names. Each Map value is an unmodifiable List of Strings that represents the corresponding field values.

Overrides:

getHeaderFields in class URLConnection

Returns:

a Map of header fields

Since:

1.4

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()
                           throws IOException

Description copied from class: URLConnection

Returns an input stream that reads from this open connection. A SocketTimeoutException can be thrown when reading from the returned input stream if the read timeout expires before data is available for read.

Overrides:

getInputStream in class URLConnection

Returns:

an input stream that reads from this open connection.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs while creating the input stream.

UnknownServiceException - if the protocol does not support input.

See Also:

URLConnection.setReadTimeout(int), URLConnection.getReadTimeout()

getNewHttpClient

protected HttpClient getNewHttpClient(URL url,
                                      int connectTimeout)
                               throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

getOutputStream

public OutputStream getOutputStream()
                             throws IOException

Description copied from class: URLConnection

Returns an output stream that writes to this connection.

Overrides:

getOutputStream in class URLConnection

Returns:

an output stream that writes to this connection.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs while creating the output stream.

UnknownServiceException - if the protocol does not support output.

getReadTimeout

public int getReadTimeout()

Returns setting for read timeout. 0 return implies that the option is disabled (i.e., timeout of infinity).

Overrides:

getReadTimeout in class URLConnection

Returns:

an int that indicates the read timeout value in milliseconds

Since:

1.5

See Also:

URLConnection.setReadTimeout(int), InputStream.read()

getRequestProperties

public Map<String,List<String>> getRequestProperties()

Returns an unmodifiable Map of general request properties for this connection. The Map keys are Strings that represent the request-header field names. Each Map value is a unmodifiable List of Strings that represents the corresponding field values.

a Map of the general request properties for this connection.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if already connected

Since:

1.4

getRequestProperty

public String getRequestProperty(String key)

Description copied from class: URLConnection

Returns the value of the named general request property for this connection.

Overrides:

getRequestProperty in class URLConnection

setConnectTimeout

public void setConnectTimeout(int timeout)

Description copied from class: URLConnection

Sets a specified timeout value, in milliseconds, to be used when opening a communications link to the resource referenced by this URLConnection. If the timeout expires before the connection can be established, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.

Some non-standard implementation of this method may ignore the specified timeout. To see the connect timeout set, please call getConnectTimeout().

Overrides:

setConnectTimeout in class URLConnection

Parameters:

timeout - an int that specifies the connect timeout value in milliseconds

See Also:

URLConnection.getConnectTimeout(), URLConnection.connect()

Obtain a HttpsClient object. Use the cached copy if specified.

Parameters:

url - the URL being accessed

Throws:

IOException

setReadTimeout

public void setReadTimeout(int timeout)

Sets the read timeout to a specified timeout, in milliseconds. A non-zero value specifies the timeout when reading from Input stream when a connection is established to a resource. If the timeout expires before there is data available for read, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.

Some non-standard implementation of this method ignores the specified timeout. To see the read timeout set, please call getReadTimeout().

Overrides:
