Interface HttpURLConnectionFactory

public interface HttpURLConnectionFactory

A factory for HttpURLConnection instances.

A factory may be used to create a HttpURLConnection and configure it in a custom manner that is not possible using the Client API.

A factory instance may be registered with the constructor URLConnectionClientHandler.URLConnectionClientHandler(com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.HttpURLConnectionFactory). Then the URLConnectionClientHandler instance may be registered with a Client using the constructor Client.Client(com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandler).
