Method Details

getName

public String getName()

Provide the name of this method.

Specified by:

getName in interface HttpMethod

Specified by:

getName in class HttpMethodBase

Returns:

the String "CONNECT"

getPath

public String getPath()

Description copied from class: HttpMethodBase

Gets the path of this HTTP method. Calling this method after the request has been executed will return the actual path, following any redirects automatically handled by this HTTP method.

Specified by:

getPath in interface HttpMethod

Overrides:

getPath in class HttpMethodBase

Returns:

the path to request or "/" if the path is blank.

getURI

public URI getURI()
           throws URIException

Description copied from class: HttpMethodBase

Returns the URI of the HTTP method

Specified by:

getURI in interface HttpMethod

Overrides:

getURI in class HttpMethodBase

Returns:

The URI

Throws:

URIException - If the URI cannot be created.

See Also:

• HttpMethod.getURI()

addCookieRequestHeader

protected void addCookieRequestHeader(HttpState state,
 HttpConnection conn)
                               throws IOException,
HttpException

This method does nothing. CONNECT request is not supposed to contain Cookie request header.

Overrides:

addCookieRequestHeader in class HttpMethodBase

Parameters:

state - current state of http requests

conn - the connection to use for I/O

Throws:

IOException - when errors occur reading or writing to/from the connection

HttpException - when a recoverable error occurs

See Also:

• HttpMethodBase.addCookieRequestHeader(HttpState, HttpConnection)

addRequestHeaders

protected void addRequestHeaders(HttpState state,
 HttpConnection conn)
                          throws IOException,
HttpException

Populates the request headers map to with additional headers to be submitted to the given HttpConnection.

This implementation adds User-Agent, Host, and Proxy-Authorization headers, when appropriate.

Overrides:

addRequestHeaders in class HttpMethodBase

Parameters:

state - the client state

conn - the HttpConnection the headers will eventually be written to

Throws:

IOException - when an error occurs writing the request

HttpException - when a HTTP protocol error occurs

See Also:

• HttpMethodBase.writeRequestHeaders(HttpState, HttpConnection)

execute

public int execute(HttpState state,
 HttpConnection conn)
            throws IOException,
HttpException

Execute this method and create a tunneled HttpConnection. If the method is successful (i.e. the status is a 2xx) tunnelCreated() will be called on the connection.

Specified by:

execute in interface HttpMethod

Overrides:

execute in class HttpMethodBase

Parameters:

state - the current http state

conn - the connection to write to

Returns:

the http status code from execution

Throws:

HttpException - when an error occurs writing the headers

IOException - when an error occurs writing the headers

See Also:

• HttpConnection.tunnelCreated()

writeRequestLine

protected void writeRequestLine(HttpState state,
 HttpConnection conn)
                         throws IOException,
HttpException

Special Connect request.

Overrides:

writeRequestLine in class HttpMethodBase

Parameters:

state - the current http state

conn - the connection to write to

Throws:

IOException - when an error occurs writing the request

HttpException - when an error occurs writing the request

See Also:

• HttpMethodBase.generateRequestLine(HttpConnection, String, String, String, String)

shouldCloseConnection

protected boolean shouldCloseConnection(HttpConnection conn)

Returns true if the status code is anything other than SC_OK, false otherwise.

Overrides:

shouldCloseConnection in class HttpMethodBase

Parameters:

conn - the connection in question

Returns:

true if the connection should be closed

See Also:

• HttpMethodBase.shouldCloseConnection(HttpConnection)
• HttpStatus.SC_OK
