Class TraceMethod

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    HttpMethod

    @Deprecated
    public class TraceMethod
    extends HttpMethodBase
    Deprecated.
    Jakarta Commons HttpClient 3.x is deprecated in the Jenkins project. It is not recommended to use it in any new code. Instead, use HTTP client API plugins as a dependency in your code. E.g. Apache HttpComponents Client API 4.x Plugin or Async HTTP Client Plugin.
    Implements the HTTP TRACE method.

    The HTTP TRACE method is defined in section 9.6 of RFC2616:

    The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop- back of the request message. The final recipient of the request SHOULD reflect the message received back to the client as the entity-body of a 200 (OK) response. The final recipient is either the origin server or the first proxy or gateway to receive a Max-Forwards value of zero (0) in the request (see section 14.31). A TRACE request MUST NOT include an entity.

    Since:
    2.0
