Class ApacheHttpTransport

java.lang.Object

com.google.api.client.http.HttpTransport

com.google.api.client.http.apache.ApacheHttpTransport

public final class ApacheHttpTransport
extends HttpTransport

Thread-safe HTTP transport based on the Apache HTTP Client library.

Implementation is thread-safe, as long as any parameter modification to the Apache HTTP Client is only done at initialization time. For maximum efficiency, applications should use a single globally-shared instance of the HTTP transport.

Default settings are specified in newDefaultHttpClient(). Use the ApacheHttpTransport(HttpClient) constructor to override the Apache HTTP Client used. Alternatively, use ApacheHttpTransport() and change the getHttpClient(). Please read the Apache HTTP Client connection management tutorial for more complex configuration options.

Constructor Detail

ApacheHttpTransport

public ApacheHttpTransport()

Constructor that uses newDefaultHttpClient() for the Apache HTTP client.

Use ApacheHttpTransport.Builder to modify HTTP client options.

Since:

1.3

ApacheHttpTransport

public ApacheHttpTransport(org.apache.http.client.HttpClient httpClient)

Constructor that allows an alternative Apache HTTP client to be used.

Note that a few settings are overridden:

• HTTP version is set to 1.1 using HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(org.apache.http.params.HttpParams, org.apache.http.ProtocolVersion) with HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1.
• Redirects are disabled using ClientPNames.HANDLE_REDIRECTS.
• ConnManagerParams.setTimeout(org.apache.http.params.HttpParams, long) and HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(org.apache.http.params.HttpParams, int) are set on each request based on HttpRequest.getConnectTimeout().
• HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(org.apache.http.params.HttpParams, int) is set on each request based on HttpRequest.getReadTimeout().

Use ApacheHttpTransport.Builder for a more user-friendly way to modify the HTTP client options.

Parameters:

httpClient - Apache HTTP client to use

Method Detail

newDefaultHttpClient

public static org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient newDefaultHttpClient()

Creates a new instance of the Apache HTTP client that is used by the ApacheHttpTransport() constructor.

Use this constructor if you want to customize the default Apache HTTP client. Settings:

• The client connection manager is set to ThreadSafeClientConnManager.
• The socket buffer size is set to 8192 using HttpConnectionParams.setSocketBufferSize(org.apache.http.params.HttpParams, int).
• new DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler(0, false).
• The route planner uses ProxySelectorRoutePlanner with ProxySelector.getDefault(), which uses the proxy settings from system properties.

Returns:

new instance of the Apache HTTP client

1.6

supportsMethod

public boolean supportsMethod(String method)

Description copied from class: HttpTransport
