HttpRequestExecutor is a client side HTTP protocol handler based on the blocking (classic) I/O model.

HttpRequestExecutor relies on HttpProcessor to generate mandatory protocol headers for all outgoing messages and apply common, cross-cutting message transformations to all incoming and outgoing messages. Application specific processing can be implemented outside HttpRequestExecutor once the request has been executed and a response has been received.

Since:4.0

Decide whether a response comes with an entity. The implementation in this class is based on RFC 2616.

Params:

  • response – the response, to obtain the status code

Send the given request over the given connection.

This method also handles the expect-continue handshake if necessary. If it does not have to handle an expect-continue handshake, it will not use the connection for reading or anything else that depends on data coming in over the connection.

Params:

  • conn – the connection over which to send the request, already established
  • context – the context for sending the request
Throws:
Returns: a terminal response received as part of an expect-continue handshake, or null if the expect-continue handshake is not used

Waits for and receives a response. This method will automatically ignore intermediate responses with status code 1xx.
Params:

Throws:
Returns: the terminal response, not yet post-processed

Post-processes the given response using the given protocol processor and completes the process of request execution.

This method does not read the response entity, if any. The connection over which content of the response entity is being streamed from cannot be reused until EntityUtils.consume(HttpEntity) has been invoked.

Params:
  • response – the response object to post-process
  • processor – the processor to use
  • context – the context for post-processing the response
