第5章 流畅的API(fluent API)
5.1. 易用的API
从版本4.2开始，HttpClient提供了一个易于使用的API，它基于流畅的接口概念。该API仅公开HttpClient的最基本功能，适用于不需要HttpClient完全灵活性的简单用例。例如，该API使用户不必处理连接管理和资源释放。
以下是通过HC fluent API执行的HTTP请求的几个示例
// Execute a GET with timeout settings and return response content as String.
Request.Get("http://somehost/")
.connectTimeout(1000)
.socketTimeout(1000)
.execute().returnContent().asString();
// Execute a POST with the 'expect-continue' handshake, using HTTP/1.1,
// containing a request body as String and return response content as byte array.
Request.Post("http://somehost/do-stuff")
.useExpectContinue()
.version(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1)
.bodyString("Important stuff", ContentType.DEFAULT_TEXT)
.execute().returnContent().asBytes();
// Execute a POST with a custom header through the proxy containing a request body
// as an HTML form and save the result to the file
Request.Post("http://somehost/some-form")
.addHeader("X-Custom-header", "stuff")
.viaProxy(new HttpHost("myproxy", 8080))
.bodyForm(Form.form().add("username", "vip").add("password", "secret").build())
.execute().saveContent(new File("result.dump"));
也可以直接使用Executor，以便在特定的安全上下文中执行请求，从而对身份验证详细信息进行缓存并重新用于后续请求。
Executor executor = Executor.newInstance()
.auth(new HttpHost("somehost"), "username", "password")
.auth(new HttpHost("myproxy", 8080), "username", "password")
.authPreemptive(new HttpHost("myproxy", 8080));
executor.execute(Request.Get("http://somehost/"))
.returnContent().asString();
executor.execute(Request.Post("http://somehost/do-stuff")
.useExpectContinue()
.bodyString("Important stuff", ContentType.DEFAULT_TEXT))
.returnContent().asString();
5.1.1. 响应处理
流畅的外观API通常使用户不必处理连接管理和资源释放。但是，在大多数情况下，这需要在内存中缓冲响应消息的内容。强烈建议使用ResponseHandler进行HTTP响应处理，以避免在内存中缓冲内容。
Document result = Request.Get("http://somehost/content")
.execute().handleResponse(new ResponseHandler<Document>() {
public Document handleResponse(final HttpResponse response) throws IOException {
StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (statusLine.getStatusCode() >= 300) {
throw new HttpResponseException(
statusLine.getStatusCode(),
statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
}
if (entity == null) {
throw new ClientProtocolException("Response contains no content");
}
DocumentBuilderFactory dbfac = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
try {
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = dbfac.newDocumentBuilder();
ContentType contentType = ContentType.getOrDefault(entity);
if (!contentType.equals(ContentType.APPLICATION_XML)) {
throw new ClientProtocolException("Unexpected content type:" +
contentType);
}
String charset = contentType.getCharset();
if (charset == null) {
charset = HTTP.DEFAULT_CONTENT_CHARSET;
}
return docBuilder.parse(entity.getContent(), charset);
} catch (ParserConfigurationException ex) {
throw new IllegalStateException(ex);
} catch (SAXException ex) {
throw new ClientProtocolException("Malformed XML document", ex);
}
}
});
