This package contains an HTTP/1.1 client, as described in RFC 2616.
|
|
It supports the following features:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Persistent connections</li>
|
|
<li>Basic and Digest authentication (RFC 2617)</li>
|
|
<li>HTTPS</li>
|
|
<li>HTTP proxies</li>
|
|
<li>HTTP/1.0 compatibility</li>
|
|
<li>Support for WebDAV methods and other HTTP extensions</li>
|
|
<li>Automatic decoding of the chunked transfer-coding</li>
|
|
<li>Parsing of HTTP date headers</li>
|
|
<li>Support for the 100-continue expectation</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The API is similar to the <a href='http://www.webdav.org/neon/'>neon</a>
|
|
WebDAV/HTTP library. A logical connection to the server is instantiated,
|
|
and multiple requests can be issued for this connection. Each request
|
|
has an atomic <code>dispatch</code> method which returns the response.
|
|
All I/O, authentication, etc is handled by registering callback objects
|
|
with the request prior to dispatch, which are notified during the dispatch
|
|
procedure as necessary. Simple byte-array content callbacks are supplied
|
|
which can manage any request/response content that fits in available memory.
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
An URL stream handler is provided, supporting the full HttpURLConnection
|
|
specification.
