      • getFollowRedirects

        public boolean getFollowRedirects()
        Deprecated.
        Entity enclosing requests cannot be redirected without user intervention according to RFC 2616.
        Specified by:
        getFollowRedirects in interface HttpMethod
        Overrides:
        getFollowRedirects in class HttpMethodBase
        Returns:
        false.

      • setFollowRedirects

        public void setFollowRedirects​(boolean followRedirects)
        Deprecated.
        Entity enclosing requests cannot be redirected without user intervention according to RFC 2616.
        Specified by:
        setFollowRedirects in interface HttpMethod
        Overrides:
        setFollowRedirects in class HttpMethodBase
        Parameters:
        followRedirects - must always be false
      • setRequestContentLength

        public void setRequestContentLength​(int length)
        Sets length information about the request body.

        Note: If you specify a content length the request is unbuffered. This prevents redirection and automatic retry if a request fails the first time. This means that the HttpClient can not perform authorization automatically but will throw an Exception. You will have to set the necessary 'Authorization' or 'Proxy-Authorization' headers manually.

        Parameters:
        length - size in bytes or any of CONTENT_LENGTH_AUTO, CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED. If number of bytes or CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED is specified the content will not be buffered internally and the Content-Length header of the request will be used. In this case the user is responsible to supply the correct content length. If CONTENT_LENGTH_AUTO is specified the request will be buffered before it is sent over the network.
      • getRequestCharSet

        public java.lang.String getRequestCharSet()
        Deprecated.
        Returns the request's charset. The charset is parsed from the request entity's content type, unless the content type header has been set manually.
        Overrides:
        getRequestCharSet in class HttpMethodBase
        Returns:
        String The character set.
        Since:
        3.0

      • setRequestContentLength

        public void setRequestContentLength​(long length)
        Sets length information about the request body.

        Note: If you specify a content length the request is unbuffered. This prevents redirection and automatic retry if a request fails the first time. This means that the HttpClient can not perform authorization automatically but will throw an Exception. You will have to set the necessary 'Authorization' or 'Proxy-Authorization' headers manually.

        Parameters:
        length - size in bytes or any of CONTENT_LENGTH_AUTO, CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED. If number of bytes or CONTENT_LENGTH_CHUNKED is specified the content will not be buffered internally and the Content-Length header of the request will be used. In this case the user is responsible to supply the correct content length. If CONTENT_LENGTH_AUTO is specified the request will be buffered before it is sent over the network.
      • setContentChunked

        public void setContentChunked​(boolean chunked)
        Deprecated.
        Sets whether or not the content should be chunked.
        Parameters:
        chunked - true if the content should be chunked
        Since:

      • setRequestBody

        public void setRequestBody​(java.io.InputStream body)
        Sets the request body to be the specified inputstream.
        Parameters:

      • setRequestBody

        public void setRequestBody​(java.lang.String body)
        Sets the request body to be the specified string. The string will be submitted, using the encoding specified in the Content-Type request header.
        Example: setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml; charset=UTF-8");
        Would use the UTF-8 encoding. If no charset is specified, the default content encoding is used (ISO-8859-1).
        Parameters:
        body - Request body content as a string
