Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
protected long	computeLength() Computes and returns the content length or less than zero if not known.
static long	computeLength(HttpContent content) Returns the computed content length based using IOUtils.computeLength(StreamingContent) or instead -1 if HttpContent.retrySupported() is false because the stream must not be read twice.
protected Charset	getCharset() Returns the charset specified in the media type or ISO_8859_1 if not specified.
long	getLength() Default implementation calls computeLength() once and caches it for future invocations, but subclasses may override.
HttpMediaType	getMediaType() Returns the media type to use for the Content-Type header, or null if unspecified.
String	getType() Returns the content type or null for none.
boolean	retrySupported() Default implementation returns true, but subclasses may override.
AbstractHttpContent	setMediaType(HttpMediaType mediaType) Sets the media type to use for the Content-Type header, or null if unspecified.

writeTo

Constructor Detail

AbstractHttpContent

protected AbstractHttpContent(String mediaType)

Parameters:

mediaType - Media type string (for example "type/subtype") this content represents or null to leave out. Can also contain parameters like "charset=utf-8"

Since:

1.10

AbstractHttpContent

protected AbstractHttpContent(HttpMediaType mediaType)

Parameters:

mediaType - Media type this content represents or null to leave out

Since:

1.10

Method Detail

getLength

public long getLength()
               throws IOException

Default implementation calls computeLength() once and caches it for future invocations, but subclasses may override.

Specified by:

getLength in interface HttpContent

Throws:

IOException

getMediaType

public final HttpMediaType getMediaType()

Returns the media type to use for the Content-Type header, or null if unspecified.

Since:

1.10

setMediaType

public AbstractHttpContent setMediaType(HttpMediaType mediaType)

Sets the media type to use for the Content-Type header, or null if unspecified.

This will also overwrite any previously set parameter of the media type (for example "charset"), and therefore might change other properties as well.

Since:

1.10

getCharset

protected final Charset getCharset()

Returns the charset specified in the media type or ISO_8859_1 if not specified.

Since:

1.10

getType

public String getType()

Description copied from interface: HttpContent

Returns the content type or null for none.

Specified by:

getType in interface HttpContent

computeLength

protected long computeLength()
                      throws IOException

Computes and returns the content length or less than zero if not known.

Subclasses may override, but by default this computes the length by calling computeLength(HttpContent).

Throws:

IOException

retrySupported

public boolean retrySupported()

Default implementation returns true, but subclasses may override.

Specified by:

retrySupported in interface HttpContent

computeLength

public static long computeLength(HttpContent content)
                          throws IOException

Returns the computed content length based using IOUtils.computeLength(StreamingContent) or instead -1 if HttpContent.retrySupported() is false because the stream must not be read twice.

Parameters:

content - HTTP content

Returns:

computed content length or -1 if retry is not supported

Throws:

IOException

Since:

1.14
