Package org.apache.commons.httpclient

Class ChunkedInputStream

java.lang.Object

java.io.InputStream

org.apache.commons.httpclient.ChunkedInputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable

@Deprecated
public class ChunkedInputStream
extends InputStream

Deprecated.

Jakarta Commons HttpClient 3.x is deprecated in the Jenkins project. It is not recommended to use it in any new code. Instead, use HTTP client API plugins as a dependency in your code. E.g. Apache HttpComponents Client API 4.x Plugin or Async HTTP Client Plugin.

Transparently coalesces chunks of a HTTP stream that uses Transfer-Encoding chunked.

Note that this class NEVER closes the underlying stream, even when close gets called. Instead, it will read until the "end" of its chunking on close, which allows for the seamless invocation of subsequent HTTP 1.1 calls, while not requiring the client to remember to read the entire contents of the response.

Since:

2.0

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor	Description
ChunkedInputStream(InputStream in)	Deprecated. ChunkedInputStream constructor
ChunkedInputStream(InputStream in, HttpMethod method)	Deprecated. ChunkedInputStream constructor that associates the chunked input stream with a HTTP method.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	close()	Deprecated. Upon close, this reads the remainder of the chunked message, leaving the underlying socket at a position to start reading the next response without scanning.
int	read()	Deprecated. Returns all the data in a chunked stream in coalesced form.
int	read(byte[] b)	Deprecated. Read some bytes from the stream.
int	read(byte[] b, int off, int len)	Deprecated. Read some bytes from the stream.

Constructor Detail

ChunkedInputStream

public ChunkedInputStream(InputStream in,
                          HttpMethod method)
                   throws IOException

Deprecated.

ChunkedInputStream constructor that associates the chunked input stream with a HTTP method. Usually it should be the same HTTP method the chunked input stream originates from. If chunked input stream contains any footers (trailing headers), they will be added to the associated HTTP method.

Parameters:

in - the raw input stream

method - the HTTP method to associate this input stream with. Can be null.

Throws:

IOException - If an IO error occurs

ChunkedInputStream

public ChunkedInputStream(InputStream in)
                   throws IOException

Deprecated.

ChunkedInputStream constructor

Parameters:

in - the raw input stream

Throws:

IOException - If an IO error occurs

Method Detail

read

public int read()
         throws IOException

Deprecated.

Returns all the data in a chunked stream in coalesced form. A chunk is followed by a CRLF. The method returns -1 as soon as a chunksize of 0 is detected.

Trailer headers are read automcatically at the end of the stream and can be obtained with the getResponseFooters() method.

Specified by:

read in class InputStream

Returns:

-1 of the end of the stream has been reached or the next data byte

Throws:

IOException - If an IO problem occurs

See Also:

HttpMethod.getResponseFooters()

read

public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws IOException

Deprecated.

Read some bytes from the stream.

Overrides:

read in class InputStream

Parameters:

b - The byte array that will hold the contents from the stream.

off - The offset into the byte array at which bytes will start to be placed.

len - the maximum number of bytes that can be returned.

Returns:

The number of bytes returned or -1 if the end of stream has been reached.

Throws:

IOException - if an IO problem occurs.

See Also:

InputStream.read(byte[], int, int)

read

public int read(byte[] b)
         throws IOException

Deprecated.

Read some bytes from the stream.

Overrides:

read in class InputStream

Parameters:

b - The byte array that will hold the contents from the stream.

Returns:

The number of bytes returned or -1 if the end of stream has been reached.

Throws:

IOException - if an IO problem occurs.

See Also:

InputStream.read(byte[])

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Deprecated.

Upon close, this reads the remainder of the chunked message, leaving the underlying socket at a position to start reading the next response without scanning.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Overrides:

close in class InputStream

Throws:

IOException - If an IO problem occurs.
