Enum Protocol

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<Protocol>

com.amazonaws.Protocol

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Protocol>

public enum Protocol
extends java.lang.Enum<Protocol>

Represents the communication protocol to use when sending requests to AWS.

Communication over HTTPS is the default, and is more secure than HTTP, which is why AWS recommends using HTTPS. HTTPS connections can use more system resources because of the extra work to encrypt network traffic, so the option to use HTTP is available in case users need it.

Enum Constant and Description
HTTP HTTP Protocol - Using the HTTP protocol is less secure than HTTPS, but can slightly reduce the system resources used when communicating with AWS.
HTTPS HTTPS Protocol - Using the HTTPS protocol is more secure than using the HTTP protocol, but may use slightly more system resources.

HTTP

public static final Protocol HTTP

HTTP Protocol - Using the HTTP protocol is less secure than HTTPS, but can slightly reduce the system resources used when communicating with AWS.

HTTPS

public static final Protocol HTTPS

HTTPS Protocol - Using the HTTPS protocol is more secure than using the HTTP protocol, but may use slightly more system resources. AWS recommends using HTTPS for maximize security.

Method Detail

values

public static Protocol[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Protocol c : Protocol.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Protocol valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Enum<Protocol>
