Method Detail

getLength

long getLength()
               throws IOException

Returns the content length or less than zero if not known.

Throws:

IOException

getEncoding

String getEncoding()

Returns the content encoding (for example "gzip") or null for none.

getType

String getType()

Returns the content type or null for none.

writeTo

void writeTo(OutputStream out)
             throws IOException

Writes the content to the given output stream.

The recommendation for implementations is that they should not close the output stream. Callers should not assume whether or not the output stream has been closed. Implementations that do not close the output stream should flush it at the end of the method.

Throws:

IOException

retrySupported

boolean retrySupported()

Returns whether or not retry is supported on this content type.
