Description

Interface Summary

AuthorizationHandler	This is the interface that an Authorization handler must implement.
AuthorizationPrompter	This is the interface that a username/password prompter must implement.
CookiePolicyHandler	This is the interface that a cookie policy handler must implement.
FilenameMangler	Codecs.mpFormDataDecode and Codecs.mpFormDataEncode may be handed an instance of a class which implements this interface in order to control names of the decoded files or the names sent in the encoded data.
GlobalConstants	This interface defines various global constants.
HashVerifier	This interface defines a hash verifier.
HTTPClientModule	This is the interface that a module must implement.
HTTPClientModuleConstants	This interface defines the return codes that the handlers in modules may return.
RoRequest	This interface represents the read-only interface of an http request.
RoResponse	This interface represents read-only interface of an intermediate http response.

Class Summary

AuthorizationInfo	Holds the information for an authorization response.
AuthorizationModule	This module handles authentication requests.
BasicCookieBox	A simple popup that asks whether the cookie should be accepted or rejected, or if cookies from whole domains should be silently accepted or rejected.
BufferedInputStream	This class is similar to java.io.BufferedInputStream, except that it fixes certain bugs and provides support for finding multipart boundaries.
ChunkedInputStream	This class de-chunks an input stream.
CIHashtable	This class implements a Hashtable with case-insensitive Strings as keys.
CIHashtableEnumeration	A simple enumerator which delegates everything to the real enumerator.
CIString	This class' raison d'etre is that I want to use a Hashtable using Strings as keys and I want the lookup be case insensitive, but I also want to be able retrieve the keys with original case (otherwise I could just use toLowerCase() in the get() and put()).
Codecs	This class collects various encoders and decoders.
ContentEncodingModule	This module handles the Content-Encoding response header.
ContentMD5Module	This module handles the Content-MD5 response header.
Cookie	This class represents an http cookie as specified in Netscape's cookie spec; however, because not even Netscape follows their own spec, and because very few folks out there actually read specs but instead just look whether Netscape accepts their stuff, the Set-Cookie header field parser actually tries to follow what Netscape has implemented, instead of what the spec says.
Cookie2	This class represents an http cookie as specified in the HTTP State Management Mechanism spec (also known as a version 1 cookie).
CookieModule	This module handles Netscape cookies (also called Version 0 cookies) and Version 1 cookies.
DefaultAuthHandler	This class is the default authorization handler.
DefaultCookiePolicyHandler	A simple cookie policy handler.
DefaultModule	This is the default module which gets called after all other modules have done their stuff.
HTTPConnection	This class implements http protocol requests; it contains most of HTTP/1.1 and ought to be unconditionally compliant.
HttpHeaderElement	This class holds a description of an http header element.
HttpOutputStream	This class provides an output stream for requests.
HTTPResponse	This defines the http-response class returned by the requests.
HttpURLConnection	This class is a wrapper around HTTPConnection providing the interface defined by java.net.URLConnection and java.net.HttpURLConnection.
IdempotentSequence	This class checks whether a sequence of requests is idempotent.
LinkedList	This class implements a singly linked list.
LinkElement	The represents a single element in the linked list.
Log	This is a simple logger for the HTTPClient.
MD5	Some utility methods for digesting info using MD5.
MD5InputStream	This class calculates a running md5 digest of the data read.
NVPair	This class holds a Name/Value pair of strings.
RedirectionModule	This module handles the redirection status codes 301, 302, 303, 305, 306 and 307.
Request	This class represents an http request.
RespInputStream	This is the InputStream that gets returned to the user.
Response	This class represents an intermediate response.
ResponseHandler	This holds various information about an active response.
RetryModule	This module handles request retries when a connection closes prematurely.
Separator	A simple separator element.
SimpleAuthPopup
SimpleAuthPrompt	This class implements a simple command line prompter that request username and password used for the "basic" and "digest" authentication schemes.
SocketTimeout	This thread is used to reap idle connections.
SocksClient	This class implements a SOCKS Client.
StreamDemultiplexor	This class handles the demultiplexing of input stream.
TransferEncodingModule	This module handles the TransferEncoding response header.
UncompressInputStream	This class decompresses an input stream containing data compressed with the unix "compress" utility (LZC, a LZW variant).
URI	This class represents a generic URI, as defined in RFC-2396.
Util	This class holds various utility methods.
VerifyDigest	This verifies the "digest" from rfc-2069
VerifyMD5
VerifyRspAuth	This verifies the "rspauth" from draft-ietf-http-authentication-03

Exception Summary

AuthSchemeNotImplException	Signals that the handling of a authorization scheme is not implemented.
ModuleException	Signals that an exception occured in a module.
ParseException	Signals that something went wrong while parsing data.
ProtocolNotSuppException	Signals that the protocol is not supported.
RetryException	Signals that an exception was thrown and caught, and the request was retried.
SocksException	Signals that an error was received while trying to set up a connection with the Socks server.
