Static Methods

computeLength(HttpContent content)

public static long computeLength(HttpContent content)

Returns the computed content length based using IOUtils#computeLength(StreamingContent) or instead -1 if HttpContent#retrySupported() is false because the stream must not be read twice.

Parameter

Name	Description
`content`	`HttpContent` HTTP content

Returns

Type	Description
`long`	computed content length or `-1` if retry is not supported

Exceptions

Type	Description
`IOException`

Constructors

AbstractHttpContent(HttpMediaType mediaType)

protected AbstractHttpContent(HttpMediaType mediaType)

Parameter

Name	Description
`mediaType`	`HttpMediaType` Media type this content represents or `null` to leave out

AbstractHttpContent(String mediaType)

protected AbstractHttpContent(String mediaType)

Parameter

Name	Description
`mediaType`	`String` Media type string (for example "type/subtype") this content represents or `null` to leave out. Can also contain parameters like `"charset=utf-8"`

Methods

computeLength()

protected long computeLength()

Computes and returns the content length or less than zero if not known.

Subclasses may override, but by default this computes the length by calling #computeLength(HttpContent).

Returns

Type	Description
`long`

Exceptions

Type	Description
`IOException`

getCharset()

protected final Charset getCharset()

Returns the charset specified in the media type or ISO_8859_1 if not specified.

Returns

Type	Description
`Charset`

getLength()

public long getLength()

Default implementation calls #computeLength() once and caches it for future invocations, but subclasses may override.

Returns

Type	Description
`long`

Exceptions

Type	Description
`IOException`

getMediaType()

public final HttpMediaType getMediaType()

Returns the media type to use for the Content-Type header, or null if unspecified.

Returns

Type	Description
`HttpMediaType`

getType()

public String getType()

Returns the content type or null for none.

Returns

Type	Description
`String`

retrySupported()

public boolean retrySupported()

Default implementation returns true, but subclasses may override.

Returns

Type	Description
`boolean`

setMediaType(HttpMediaType mediaType)

public AbstractHttpContent setMediaType(HttpMediaType mediaType)

Sets the media type to use for the Content-Type header, or null if unspecified.

This will also overwrite any previously set parameter of the media type (for example "charset"), and therefore might change other properties as well.

Parameter

Name	Description
`mediaType`	`HttpMediaType`

Returns

Type	Description
`AbstractHttpContent`
