Method Detail

setConnectionTimeout

T setConnectionTimeout(int connectionTimeout)

Setting connection timeout in milliseconds.

Parameters:

connectionTimeout - The timeout in milliseconds

Returns:

a reference to this object.

setSoTimeout

T setSoTimeout(int soTimeout)

files - the file parts, cannot be null.

Returns:

a reference to this object.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the method of this request is not a POST or PUT or files is NULL.

IllegalStateException - if the request body for this request has already been set.

Since:

2.6

setEntity

T setEntity(Object entity)
