Method Details

parseHeaders

public static Header[] parseHeaders(InputStream is)
            throws IOException,
                   HttpException

Deprecated. use #parseHeaders(InputStream, String)

Parses headers from the given stream. Headers with the same name are not combined.

Parameters:
is - the stream to read headers from

Returns:
an array of headers in the order in which they were parsed

Throws:
HttpException - if there is an error parsing a header value


parseHeaders

public static Header[] parseHeaders(InputStream is,
                                    String charset)
            throws IOException,
                   HttpException
Parses headers from the given stream. Headers with the same name are not combined.

Parameters:
is - the stream to read headers from
charset - the charset to use for reading the data

Returns:
an array of headers in the order in which they were parsed

Throws:
HttpException - if there is an error parsing a header value

Since:
3.0


readLine

public static String readLine(InputStream inputStream)
            throws IOException

Deprecated. use #readLine(InputStream, String)

Read up to "\n" from an (unchunked) input stream. If the stream ends before the line terminator is found, the last part of the string will still be returned. If no input data available, null is returned

Parameters:
inputStream - the stream to read from

Returns:
a line from the stream


readLine

public static String readLine(InputStream inputStream,
                              String charset)
            throws IOException
Read up to "\n" from an (unchunked) input stream. If the stream ends before the line terminator is found, the last part of the string will still be returned. If no input data available, null is returned.

Parameters:
inputStream - the stream to read from
charset - charset of HTTP protocol elements

Returns:
a line from the stream

Since:
3.0


readRawLine

public static byte[] readRawLine(InputStream inputStream)
            throws IOException
Return byte array from an (unchunked) input stream. Stop reading when "\n" terminator encountered If the stream ends before the line terminator is found, the last part of the string will still be returned. If no input data available, null is returned.

Parameters:
inputStream - the stream to read from

Returns:
a byte array from the stream
