Class HttpResponse


  • public final class HttpResponse
    extends Object
    HTTP response.

    Callers should call disconnect() when the HTTP response object is no longer needed. However, disconnect() does not have to be called if the response stream is properly closed. Example usage:

       HttpResponse response = request.execute();
       try {
         // process the HTTP response object
       } finally {
         response.disconnect();
       }
     

    Implementation is not thread-safe.

      • getContentLoggingLimit

        public int getContentLoggingLimit()
        Returns the limit to the content size that will be logged during getContent().

        Content will only be logged if isLoggingEnabled() is true.

        If the content size is greater than this limit then it will not be logged.

        Can be set to 0 to disable content logging. This is useful for example if content has sensitive data such as authentication information.

        Defaults to HttpRequest.getContentLoggingLimit().

        Since:
        1.7
      • setContentLoggingLimit

        public HttpResponse setContentLoggingLimit​(int contentLoggingLimit)
        Set the limit to the content size that will be logged during getContent().

        Content will only be logged if isLoggingEnabled() is true.

        If the content size is greater than this limit then it will not be logged.

        Can be set to 0 to disable content logging. This is useful for example if content has sensitive data such as authentication information.

        Defaults to HttpRequest.getContentLoggingLimit().

        Since:
        1.7
      • isLoggingEnabled

        public boolean isLoggingEnabled()
        Returns whether logging should be enabled on this response.

        Defaults to HttpRequest.isLoggingEnabled().

      • getContentEncoding

        public String getContentEncoding()
        Returns the content encoding or null for none.
        Since:
        1.5
      • getContentType

        public String getContentType()
        Returns the content type or null for none.
        Since:
        1.5
      • getMediaType

        public HttpMediaType getMediaType()
        Returns the parsed Content-Type in form of a HttpMediaType or null if no content-type was set.
        Since:
        1.10
      • getHeaders

        public HttpHeaders getHeaders()
        Returns the HTTP response headers.
        Since:

      • isSuccessStatusCode

        public boolean isSuccessStatusCode()
        Returns whether received a successful HTTP status code >= 200 && < 300 (see getStatusCode()).
        Since:
        1.5
      • getStatusCode

        public int getStatusCode()
        Returns the HTTP status code or 0 for none.

      • getContent

        public InputStream getContent()
                               throws IOException
        Returns the content of the HTTP response.

        The result is cached, so subsequent calls will be fast.

        Callers should call InputStream.close() after the returned InputStream is no longer needed. Example usage:

             InputStream is = response.getContent();
             try {
               // Process the input stream..
             } finally {
               is.close();
             }
         

        disconnect() does not have to be called if the content is closed.

        Returns:
        input stream content of the HTTP response or null for none
        Throws:
        IOException - I/O exception
      • download

        public void download​(OutputStream outputStream)
                      throws IOException
        Writes the content of the HTTP response into the given destination output stream.

        Sample usage:

             HttpRequest request = requestFactory.buildGetRequest(
                 new GenericUrl("https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png"));
             OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File("/tmp/logo3w.png"));
             try {
               HttpResponse response = request.execute();
               response.download(outputStream);
             } finally {
               outputStream.close();
             }
            

        This method closes the content of the HTTP response from getContent().

        This method does not close the given output stream.

        Parameters:
        outputStream - destination output stream
        Throws:
        IOException - I/O exception
        Since:

      • parseAs

        public <T> T parseAs​(Class<T> dataClass)
                      throws IOException
        Parses the content of the HTTP response from getContent() and reads it into a data class of key/value pairs using the parser returned by HttpRequest.getParser().

        Reference: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-4.3

        Returns:
        parsed data class or null for no content
        Throws:
        IOException
      • parseAsString

        public String parseAsString()
                             throws IOException
        Parses the content of the HTTP response from getContent() and reads it into a string.

        Since this method returns "" for no content, a simpler check for no content is to check if getContent() is null.

        All content is read from the input content stream rather than being limited by the Content-Length. For the character set, it follows the specification by parsing the "charset" parameter of the Content-Type header or by default "ISO-8859-1" if the parameter is missing.

        Returns:
        parsed string or "" for no content
        Throws:
        IOException - I/O exception
      • getContentCharset

        public Charset getContentCharset()
        Returns the Charset specified in the Content-Type of this response or the "ISO-8859-1" charset as a default.
