HTTP request execution handler can be used by client-side protocol handlers to trigger the submission of a new HTTP request and the processing of an HTTP response. When a new response entity is available for consumption, responseEntity(HttpResponse, HttpContext) is called. After the ConsumingNHttpEntity consumes the response body, handleResponse(HttpResponse, HttpContext) is notified that the response is fully read.
Since:4.0
Deprecated:(4.2) use HttpAsyncRequestExecutor and HttpAsyncRequester

Triggered when a new connection has been established and the HTTP context needs to be initialized.

The attachment object is the same object which was passed to the connecting I/O reactor when the connection request was made. The attachment may optionally contain some state information required in order to correctly initalize the HTTP context.

Params:
  • context – the actual HTTP context
  • attachment – the object passed to the connecting I/O reactor upon the request for a new connection.
See Also:
  • connect.connect

Triggered when the underlying connection is ready to send a new HTTP request to the target host. This method may return null if the client is not yet ready to send a request. In this case the connection will remain open and can be activated at a later point.

If the request has an entity, the entity must be an instance of ProducingNHttpEntity.

Params:
  • context – the actual HTTP context
Returns:an HTTP request to be sent or null if no request needs to be sent

HttpRequest submitRequest(HttpContext context);
Triggered when a response is received with an entity. This method should return a ConsumingNHttpEntity that will be used to consume the entity. null is a valid response value, and will indicate that the entity should be silently ignored.

After the entity is fully consumed, handleResponse(HttpResponse, HttpContext) is called to notify a full response & entity are ready to be processed.

Params:
  • response – The response containing the existing entity.
  • context – the actual HTTP context
Returns:An entity that will asynchronously consume the response's content body.
