| readResponse | | protected void readResponse(HttpState state, HttpConnection conn) throws IOException, HttpException(Code) | | Reads the response from the given
HttpConnection connection .
The response is processed as the following sequence of actions:
-
HttpMethodBase.readStatusLine(HttpState,HttpConnection) is
invoked to read the request line.
-
HttpMethodBase.processStatusLine(HttpState,HttpConnection) is invoked, allowing the method to process the status line if
desired.
-
HttpMethodBase.readResponseHeaders(HttpState,HttpConnection) is invoked to read
the associated headers.
-
HttpMethodBase.processResponseHeaders(HttpState,HttpConnection) is invoked, allowing
the method to process the headers if desired.
-
HttpMethodBase.readResponseBody(HttpState,HttpConnection) is
invoked to read the associated body (if any).
-
HttpMethodBase.processResponseBody(HttpState,HttpConnection) is invoked, allowing the
method to process the response body if desired.
Subclasses may want to override one or more of the above methods to to
customize the processing. (Or they may choose to override this method
if dramatically different processing is required.)
Parameters:
state - the HttpState state information associated with this method
Parameters:
conn - the HttpConnection connection used to executethis HTTP method
throws:
IOException - if an I/O (transport) error occurs. Some transport exceptionscan be recovered from.
throws:
HttpException - if a protocol exception occurs. Usually protocol exceptions cannot be recovered from. |
| readResponseBody | | protected void readResponseBody(HttpState state, HttpConnection conn) throws IOException, HttpException(Code) | | Read the response body from the given
HttpConnection .
The current implementation wraps the socket level stream with
an appropriate stream for the type of response (chunked, content-length,
or auto-close). If there is no response body, the connection associated
with the request will be returned to the connection manager.
Subclasses may want to override this method to to customize the
processing.
Parameters:
state - the HttpState state information associated with this method
Parameters:
conn - the HttpConnection connection used to executethis HTTP method
throws:
IOException - if an I/O (transport) error occurs. Some transport exceptionscan be recovered from.
throws:
HttpException - if a protocol exception occurs. Usually protocol exceptions cannot be recovered from.

| recycle | | public void recycle()(Code) | | Recycles the HTTP method so that it can be used again.
Note that all of the instance variables will be reset
once this method has been called. This method will also
release the connection being used by this HTTP method.
See Also: HttpMethodBase.releaseConnection() |
| releaseConnection | | public void releaseConnection()(Code) | | Releases the connection being used by this HTTP method. In particular the
connection is used to read the response(if there is one) and will be held
until the response has been read. If the connection can be reused by other
HTTP methods it is NOT closed at this point.

| responseBodyConsumed | | protected void responseBodyConsumed()(Code) | | A response has been consumed.
The default behavior for this class is to check to see if the connection
should be closed, and close if need be, and to ensure that the connection
is returned to the connection manager - if and only if we are not still
inside the execute call.
