Method Detail

isRepeatable

public boolean isRepeatable()

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.

getContentLength

public long getContentLength()

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.

getContent

public InputStream getContent()

Description copied from interface: HttpEntity

Creates a new InputStream object of the entity. It is a programming error to return the same InputStream object more than once. Entities that are not repeatable will throw an exception if this method is called multiple times.

Specified by:

getContent in interface HttpEntity

Returns:

a new input stream that returns the entity data.

writeTo

public void writeTo(OutputStream outstream)
             throws IOException

Description copied from interface: HttpEntity

Writes the entity content to the output stream.

Specified by:

writeTo in interface HttpEntity

Parameters:

outstream - the output stream to write entity content to

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

isStreaming

public boolean isStreaming()

Tells that this entity is not streaming.

Specified by:

isStreaming in interface HttpEntity

Returns:

false

clone

public Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException
