Class HttpOp

java.lang.Object

org.apache.jena.riot.web.HttpOp

public class HttpOp
extends Object

Simplified HTTP operations; simplification means only supporting certain uses of HTTP. The expectation is that the simplified operations in this class can be used by other code to generate more application specific HTTP interactions (e.g. SPARQL queries). For more complicated requirements of HTTP, then the application wil need to use org.apache.http.client directly.

For HTTP GET, the application supplies a URL, the accept header string, and a list of handlers to deal with different content type responses.

For HTTP POST, the application supplies a URL, content, the accept header string, and a list of handlers to deal with different content type responses, or no response is expected.

For HTTP PUT, the application supplies a URL, content, the accept header string

Constructor Detail

HttpOp

public HttpOp()

Method Detail

createDefaultHttpClient

public static org.apache.http.client.HttpClient createDefaultHttpClient()

getDefaultHttpClient

public static org.apache.http.client.HttpClient getDefaultHttpClient()

Return the current default HttpClient. This may be null, meaning a new HttpClient is created each time, if none is provided in the HttpOp function call.

Parameters:

client - HTTP client to use, if this is null, reset to original default instead

createPoolingHttpClient
