java.lang.Object

com.google.api.client.http.AbstractHttpContent

com.google.api.client.http.UrlEncodedContent

All Implemented Interfaces:

public class UrlEncodedContent
extends AbstractHttpContent

Implements support for HTTP form content encoding serialization of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded as specified in the HTML 4.0 Specification.

Sample usage:

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static UrlEncodedContent	getContent(HttpRequest request) Returns the URL-encoded content of the given HTTP request, or if none return and set as content a new instance of UrlEncodedContent (whose getData() is an implementation of Map).
Object	getData() Returns the key name/value data or null for none.
UrlEncodedContent	setData(Object data) Sets the key name/value data.
UrlEncodedContent	setMediaType(HttpMediaType mediaType) Sets the media type to use for the Content-Type header, or null if unspecified.
void	writeTo(OutputStream out) Writes the byte content to the given output stream.

Constructor Detail

UrlEncodedContent

public UrlEncodedContent(Object data)

Initialize the UrlEncodedContent with the legacy and deprecated escapeUri encoder

Parameters:

data - key name/value data

UrlEncodedContent

public UrlEncodedContent(Object data,
                         boolean useUriPathEncoding)

Initialize the UrlEncodedContent with or without the legacy and deprecated escapeUri encoder

Parameters:

data - key name/value data

useUriPathEncoding - escapes the string value so it can be safely included in URI path segments. For details on escaping URIs, see RFC 3986 - section 2.4

Method Detail

writeTo

public void writeTo(OutputStream out)
             throws IOException

Description copied from interface: StreamingContent

Writes the byte content to the given output stream.

Implementations must not close the output stream, and instead should flush the output stream. Some callers may assume that the output stream has not been closed, and will fail to work if it has been closed.

Parameters:

out - output stream

Throws:

IOException

setMediaType

public UrlEncodedContent setMediaType(HttpMediaType mediaType)

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpContent

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.

Overrides:

setMediaType in class AbstractHttpContent

getData

public final Object getData()

Returns the key name/value data or null for none.

Since:

1.5

setData

public UrlEncodedContent setData(Object data)

Sets the key name/value data.

Overriding is only supported for the purpose of calling the super implementation and changing the return type, but nothing else.

Since:

1.5

getContent

public static UrlEncodedContent getContent(HttpRequest request)

Returns the URL-encoded content of the given HTTP request, or if none return and set as content a new instance of UrlEncodedContent (whose getData() is an implementation of Map).

Parameters:

request - HTTP request

Returns:

URL-encoded content

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the HTTP request has a content defined that is not UrlEncodedContent

Since:

1.7
