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)

Setting socket timeout in milliseconds.

Parameters:

soTimeout - the timeout in milliseconds

Returns:

a reference to this object.

setUrl

T setUrl(String url)

Parameters:

url - the url to request

Returns:

a reference to this object.

setRequestBody

T setRequestBody(String requestBody)

Sets the body of the request. In default implementation only requests of type Request.MethodType.POST and Request.MethodType.PUT can have a request body.

Parameters:

requestBody - the body of the request

Returns:

a reference to this object.

setRequestBody

T setRequestBody(String requestBody,
                 String contentType)

Sets the body of the request. In default implementation only requests of type Request.MethodType.POST and Request.MethodType.PUT can have a request body.

Parameters:

requestBody - the body of the request

contentType - the contentType of the request

Returns:

a reference to this object.

setFiles

T setFiles(List<RequestFilePart> files)

Sets file parts of the request. File parts can only be added if the request body is empty. Only requests of type Request.MethodType.POST and Request.MethodType.PUT can have file parts.

Parameters:

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)

Set an entity as the request body

Parameters:

entity - the request entity to be marshalled, not null

Returns:

this Request object

addRequestParameters

T addRequestParameters(String... params)

Sets parameters of the request. In default implementation only requests of type Request.MethodType.POST can have parameters. For other requests include parameters in url. This method accepts an even number of arguments, in form of name, value, name, value, name, value, etc

Parameters:

params - parameters of the request in as name, value pairs

Returns:

a reference to this object.

addBasicAuthentication

T addBasicAuthentication(String hostname,
                         String username,
                         String password)

Adds basic authentication to the request.

Parameters:

username - The user name

password - The password

Returns:

a reference to this object.

addHeader

T addHeader(String headerName,
            String headerValue)

Adds the specified header to the request, not overwriting any previous value. Support for this operation is optional.

Parameters:

headerName - the header's name

headerValue - the header's value

Returns:

a reference to this object

See Also:

RequestFactory.supportsHeader()

setHeader

T setHeader(String headerName,
            String headerValue)

Sets the specified header to the request, overwriting any previous value. Support for this operation is optional.

Parameters:

headerName - the header's name

headerValue - the header's value

Returns:

a reference to this object

See Also:

RequestFactory.supportsHeader()

setFollowRedirects

T setFollowRedirects(boolean follow)

Sets whether the request should transparently follow a redirect from the server. The default behavior is that when a response is received with a status code in the 300s, a new request is made using the location header of the response without notifying the client. Set this to false to turn this behavior off.

Parameters:

follow - set this to false to have the request not transparently follow redirects.

Returns:

a reference to this object.

getHeaders

Map<String,List<String>> getHeaders()

Returns:

an immutable Map of headers added to the request so far

execute

String execute()
        throws ResponseException

Executes a request and if response is successful, returns response as a string. @see Response.getResponseBodyAsString()

Returns:

response as String
