Enum HttpMethod

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<HttpMethod>
    public enum HttpMethod
extends java.lang.Enum<HttpMethod>
    Known HTTP Methods

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static HttpMethod[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (HttpMethod c : HttpMethod.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static HttpMethod valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

      • getBytes

        public byte[] getBytes()

      • is

        public boolean is​(java.lang.String s)

      • isSafe

        public boolean isSafe()
        An HTTP method is safe if it doesn't alter the state of the server. In other words, a method is safe if it leads to a read-only operation. Several common HTTP methods are safe: GET , HEAD , or OPTIONS . All safe methods are also idempotent, but not all idempotent methods are safe
        Returns:
        if the method is safe.

      • isIdempotent

        public boolean isIdempotent()
        An idempotent HTTP method is an HTTP method that can be called many times without different outcomes. It would not matter if the method is called only once, or ten times over. The result should be the same.
        Returns:
        true if the method is idempotent.

      • asBuffer

        public java.nio.ByteBuffer asBuffer()

      • asString

        public java.lang.String asString()

      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Enum<HttpMethod>

      • lookAheadGet

        @Deprecated
public static HttpMethod lookAheadGet​(byte[] bytes,
                                      int position,
                                      int limit)
        Deprecated.
        Not used
        Optimized lookup to find a method name and trailing space in a byte array.
        Parameters:
        bytes - Array containing ISO-8859-1 characters
        position - The first valid index
        limit - The first non valid index
        Returns:
        An HttpMethod if a match or null if no easy match.

      • lookAheadGet

        public static HttpMethod lookAheadGet​(java.nio.ByteBuffer buffer)
        Optimized lookup to find a method name and trailing space in a byte array.
        Parameters:
        buffer - buffer containing ISO-8859-1 characters, it is not modified.
        Returns:
        An HttpMethod if a match or null if no easy match.

      • fromString

        public static HttpMethod fromString​(java.lang.String method)
        Converts the given String parameter to an HttpMethod. The string may differ from the Enum name as a '-' in the method name is represented as a '_' in the Enum name.
        Parameters:
        method - the String to get the equivalent HttpMethod from
        Returns:
        the HttpMethod or null if the parameter method is unknown
