                       java.lang.String boundary,
                       java.nio.charset.Charset charset)

      • MultipartEntity

        public MultipartEntity​(HttpMultipartMode mode)
        Deprecated.
        Creates an instance using the specified HttpMultipartMode mode. Boundary and charset are set to null.
        Parameters:

    • Method Detail

      • addPart

        public void addPart​(FormBodyPart bodyPart)
        Deprecated.

      • addPart

        public void addPart​(java.lang.String name,
                    ContentBody contentBody)
        Deprecated.

      • isRepeatable

        public boolean isRepeatable()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HttpEntity
        Tells if the entity is capable of producing its data more than once. A repeatable entity's getContent() and writeTo(OutputStream) methods can be called more than once whereas a non-repeatable entity's can not.
        Specified by:
        isRepeatable in interface HttpEntity
        Returns:
        true if the entity is repeatable, false otherwise.

      • isChunked

        public boolean isChunked()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HttpEntity
        Tells about chunked encoding for this entity. The primary purpose of this method is to indicate whether chunked encoding should be used when the entity is sent. For entities that are received, it can also indicate whether the entity was received with chunked encoding.

        The behavior of wrapping entities is implementation dependent, but should respect the primary purpose.

        Specified by:
        isChunked in interface HttpEntity
        Returns:
        true if chunked encoding is preferred for this entity, or false if it is not

      • isStreaming

        public boolean isStreaming()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HttpEntity
        Tells whether this entity depends on an underlying stream. Streamed entities that read data directly from the socket should return true. Self-contained entities should return false. Wrapping entities should delegate this call to the wrapped entity.
        Specified by:
        isStreaming in interface HttpEntity
        Returns:
        true if the entity content is streamed, false otherwise

      • getContentLength

        public long getContentLength()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HttpEntity
        Tells the length of the content, if known.
        Specified by:
        getContentLength in interface HttpEntity
        Returns:
        the number of bytes of the content, or a negative number if unknown. If the content length is known but exceeds Long.MAX_VALUE, a negative number is returned.

      • getContentType

        public Header getContentType()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HttpEntity
        Obtains the Content-Type header, if known. This is the header that should be used when sending the entity, or the one that was received with the entity. It can include a charset attribute.
        Specified by:
        getContentType in interface HttpEntity
        Returns:
        the Content-Type header for this entity, or null if the content type is unknown

      • getContentEncoding

        public Header getContentEncoding()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HttpEntity
        Obtains the Content-Encoding header, if known. This is the header that should be used when sending the entity, or the one that was received with the entity. Wrapping entities that modify the content encoding should adjust this header accordingly.
        Specified by:
        getContentEncoding in interface HttpEntity
        Returns:
        the Content-Encoding header for this entity, or null if the content encoding is unknown

      • consumeContent

        public void consumeContent()
                    throws java.io.IOException,
                           java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HttpEntity
        This method is deprecated since version 4.1. Please use standard java convention to ensure resource deallocation by calling InputStream.close() on the input stream returned by HttpEntity.getContent()

        This method is called to indicate that the content of this entity is no longer required. All entity implementations are expected to release all allocated resources as a result of this method invocation. Content streaming entities are also expected to dispose of the remaining content, if any. Wrapping entities should delegate this call to the wrapped entity.

        This method is of particular importance for entities being received from a connection. The entity needs to be consumed completely in order to re-use the connection with keep-alive.

        Specified by:
        consumeContent in interface HttpEntity
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
        java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
        See Also:
        and #writeTo(OutputStream)

      • getContent

        public java.io.InputStream getContent()
                               throws java.io.IOException,
                                      java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HttpEntity
        Returns a content stream of the entity. Repeatable entities are expected to create a new instance of InputStream for each invocation of this method and therefore can be consumed multiple times. Entities that are not repeatable are expected to return the same InputStream instance and therefore may not be consumed more than once.

        IMPORTANT: Please note all entity implementations must ensure that all allocated resources are properly deallocated after the InputStream.close() method is invoked.

        Specified by:
        getContent in interface HttpEntity
        Returns:
        content stream of the entity.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if the stream could not be created
        java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if entity content cannot be represented as InputStream.
        See Also:
        HttpEntity.isRepeatable()

      • writeTo

        public void writeTo​(java.io.OutputStream outStream)
             throws java.io.IOException
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HttpEntity
        Writes the entity content out to the output stream.

        IMPORTANT: Please note all entity implementations must ensure that all allocated resources are properly deallocated when this method returns.

        Specified by:
        writeTo in interface HttpEntity
        Parameters:
        outStream - the output stream to write entity content to
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs
