Class HttpClientParams

public class HttpClientParams extends HttpMethodParams

This class represents a collection of HTTP protocol parameters applicable to instances of HttpClient. Protocol parameters may be linked together to form a hierarchy. If a particular parameter value has not been explicitly defined in the collection itself, its value will be drawn from the parent collection of parameters.

Field Detail

ALLOW_CIRCULAR_REDIRECTS

public static final String ALLOW_CIRCULAR_REDIRECTS
Defines whether circular redirects (redirects to the same location) should be allowed. The HTTP spec is not sufficiently clear whether circular redirects are permitted, therefore optionally they can be enabled

This parameter expects a value of type Boolean.

CONNECTION_MANAGER_CLASS

public static final String CONNECTION_MANAGER_CLASS
Defines the default HTTP connection manager class.

This parameter expects a value of type Class.

CONNECTION_MANAGER_TIMEOUT

public static final String CONNECTION_MANAGER_TIMEOUT
Sets the timeout in milliseconds used when retrieving an HTTP connection from the HTTP connection manager.

This parameter expects a value of type Long.

MAX_REDIRECTS

public static final String MAX_REDIRECTS
Defines the maximum number of redirects to be followed. The limit on number of redirects is intended to prevent infinite loops.

This parameter expects a value of type Integer.

PREEMPTIVE_AUTHENTICATION

public static final String PREEMPTIVE_AUTHENTICATION
Defines whether authentication should be attempted preemptively.

This parameter expects a value of type Boolean.

REJECT_RELATIVE_REDIRECT

public static final String REJECT_RELATIVE_REDIRECT
Defines whether relative redirects should be rejected.

This parameter expects a value of type Boolean.

Constructor Detail

HttpClientParams

public HttpClientParams()
Creates a new collection of parameters with the collection returned by HttpClientParams as a parent. The collection will defer to its parent for a default value if a particular parameter is not explicitly set in the collection itself.

See Also: HttpClientParams

HttpClientParams

public HttpClientParams(HttpParams defaults)
Creates a new collection of parameters with the given parent. The collection will defer to its parent for a default value if a particular parameter is not explicitly set in the collection itself.

Parameters: defaults the parent collection to defer to, if a parameter is not explictly set in the collection itself.
