Method Detail

unwrap

public org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpUriRequest unwrap()

Specified by:

unwrap in interface BetterHttpRequest

Returns:

the HttpClient request object wrapped by this request

getRequestUrl

public String getRequestUrl()

Specified by:

getRequestUrl in interface BetterHttpRequest

Returns:

the request URL

expecting

public BetterHttpRequestBase expecting(Integer... statusCodes)

Description copied from interface: BetterHttpRequest

Define the set of HTTP status codes which you anticipate to be returned by the server, including error codes you'd like to explicitly handle. Any status code part of this set will not be treated as an error, but returned to you as a normal server response. Any status codes returned by the server that are not part of this set will be raised as an HttpResponseException. This is very useful when dealing with REST-ful Web services, where it is common to serve error stati that indicate a failure in the application logic (e.g. 404 if a resource doesn't exist). You typically don't want to treat those as connection errors, but gracefully handle them like a normal success code.

Specified by:

expecting in interface BetterHttpRequest

Parameters:

statusCodes - the set of status codes that you want to manually handle as part of the response

Returns:

this request

retries

public BetterHttpRequestBase retries(int retries)

Description copied from interface: BetterHttpRequest

Set maximum number of retries for this particular request.

Specified by:

retries in interface BetterHttpRequest

Parameters:

retries - the maximum number of retries should the request fail

Returns:

this request

withTimeout

public BetterHttpRequest withTimeout(int timeout)

Description copied from interface: BetterHttpRequest

Set the socket timeout for this specific request.

Specified by:

withTimeout in interface BetterHttpRequest

Parameters:

timeout - the timeout in milliseconds

Returns:

this request

send

public BetterHttpResponse send()
                        throws ConnectException

Description copied from interface: BetterHttpRequest

Sends the current request. This method uses a special retry-logic (on top of that employed by HttpClient, which is better suited to handle network fail-overs when e.g. switching between Wi-Fi and 3G).

Specified by:

send in interface BetterHttpRequest

Throws:

ConnectException

handleResponse

public BetterHttpResponse handleResponse(org.apache.http.HttpResponse response)
                                  throws IOException

Specified by:

handleResponse in interface org.apache.http.client.ResponseHandler<BetterHttpResponse>

Throws:

IOException
