Builds a push request based on the HttpServletRequest from which this builder was obtained. The push request will be constructed on the following basis:
  • The request method is set to GET.
  • The path will not be set. This must be set explicitly via a call to path(String).
  • Conditional, range, expectation, authorization and referer headers will be removed.
  • Cookies added to the associated response will be added to the push request unless maxAge <= 0 in which case any request cookie with the same name will be removed.
  • The referer header will be set to HttpServletRequest.getRequestURL() plus, if present, the query string from HttpServletRequest.getQueryString().
Since:Servlet 4.0

Specifies the session ID to use in subsequent push requests generated by a call to push(). The session ID will be presented the same way as it is on the original request (cookie or URL parameter). The default is determined in the following order:
  • the requested session ID for the originating request
  • the session ID generated in the originated request
  • null
Params:
  • sessionId – The session ID to use to generate push requests
Returns:This builder instance

Adds an HTTP header to the request.

Returns:This builder instance

Sets the URI path to be used for the push request. This must be called before every call to push(). If the path includes a query string, the query string will be appended to the existing query string (if any) and no de-duplication will occur.
Params:
  • path – Paths beginning with '/' are treated as absolute paths. All other paths are treated as relative to the context path of the request used to create this builder instance. The path may include a query string.
Returns:This builder instance
