Constructor Detail

• AbstractHttpContent

  protected AbstractHttpContent(String mediaType)

  Parameters:

  mediaType - Media type string (for example "type/subtype") this content represents or null to leave out. Can also contain parameters like "charset=utf-8"

  Since:

  1.10

• AbstractHttpContent

  protected AbstractHttpContent(HttpMediaType mediaType)

  Parameters:

  mediaType - Media type this content represents or null to leave out

  Since:

  1.10

Method Detail

• getLength

  public long getLength()
                 throws IOException

  Default implementation calls computeLength() once and caches it for future invocations, but subclasses may override.

  Specified by:

  getLength in interface  HttpContent

  Throws:

  IOException

• getMediaType

  public final HttpMediaType getMediaType()

  Returns the media type to use for the Content-Type header, or null if unspecified.

  Since:

  1.10

• setMediaType

  public AbstractHttpContent setMediaType(HttpMediaType mediaType)

  Sets the media type to use for the Content-Type header, or null if unspecified.

  This will also overwrite any previously set parameter of the media type (for example "charset"), and therefore might change other properties as well.

  Since:

  1.10

• getCharset

  protected final Charset getCharset()

  Returns the charset specified in the media type or Charsets#UTF_8 if not specified.

  Since:

  1.10

• getType

  public String getType()

  Description copied from interface: HttpContent
  Returns the content type or null for none.

• computeLength

  protected long computeLength()
                        throws IOException

  Computes and returns the content length or less than zero if not known.

  Subclasses may override, but by default this computes the length by calling computeLength(HttpContent).

  Throws:

  IOException

• retrySupported

  public boolean retrySupported()

  Default implementation returns true, but subclasses may override.

• computeLength

  public static long computeLength(HttpContent content)
                            throws IOException

  Returns the computed content length based using IOUtils.computeLength(StreamingContent) or instead -1 if HttpContent.retrySupported() is false because the stream must not be read twice.

  Parameters:

  content - HTTP content

  Returns:

  computed content length or -1 if retry is not supported

  Throws:

  IOException

  Since:

  1.14
