Class HttpRequestExecutor

java.lang.Object

org.apache.http.protocol.HttpRequestExecutor

@Contract(threading=IMMUTABLE)
public class HttpRequestExecutor
extends Object

HttpRequestExecutor is a client side HTTP protocol handler based on the blocking (classic) I/O model.

HttpRequestExecutor relies on HttpProcessor to generate mandatory protocol headers for all outgoing messages and apply common, cross-cutting message transformations to all incoming and outgoing messages. Application specific processing can be implemented outside HttpRequestExecutor once the request has been executed and a response has been received.

4.0

Method Details

execute

public HttpResponse execute(HttpRequest request,
 HttpClientConnection conn,
 HttpContext context)
                     throws IOException,
HttpException

Sends the request and obtain a response.

Parameters:

request - the request to execute.

conn - the connection over which to execute the request.

Returns:

the response to the request.

Throws:

IOException - in case of an I/O error.

HttpException - in case of HTTP protocol violation or a processing problem.

preProcess

public void preProcess(HttpRequest request,
 HttpProcessor processor,
 HttpContext context)
                throws HttpException,
IOException

Pre-process the given request using the given protocol processor and initiates the process of request execution.

Parameters:

request - the request to prepare

processor - the processor to use

context - the context for sending the request

Throws:

IOException - in case of an I/O error.

HttpException - in case of HTTP protocol violation or a processing problem.

postProcess

public void postProcess(HttpResponse response,
 HttpProcessor processor,
 HttpContext context)
                 throws HttpException,
IOException

Post-processes the given response using the given protocol processor and completes the process of request execution.

This method does not read the response entity, if any. The connection over which content of the response entity is being streamed from cannot be reused until EntityUtils.consume(org.apache.http.HttpEntity) has been invoked.

Parameters:

response - the response object to post-process

processor - the processor to use

context - the context for post-processing the response

Throws:

IOException - in case of an I/O error.

HttpException - in case of HTTP protocol violation or a processing problem.
