Method Detail

consumeStream

public static void consumeStream(java.io.InputStream err)
                          throws java.io.IOException

nice clients consume both the stderr and stdout coming from websites. This reads everything off of the stream and closes it. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/http-keepalive.html suggests that you "do not abandon connection"

Parameters:

err - the input stream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getMetadata

public static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getMetadata(java.net.URL url,
                                                                           java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> props)
                                                                    throws java.io.IOException

return the metadata about a URL. This will support http, https, and ftp, and will check for redirects. This will allow caching of head requests.

Parameters:

url - ftp,https, or http URL

props - if non-null, may be a map containing cookie.

Returns:

the metadata

Throws:

java.io.IOException - when HEAD requests are made.

WebProtocol.META_EXIST, WebProtocol.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE

copyConnectProperties

public static void copyConnectProperties(java.net.HttpURLConnection urlc,
                                         java.net.HttpURLConnection newConnection)

copy over connection properties like Cookie and Accept-Encoding.

Parameters:

urlc -

newConnection -

checkRedirect

public static java.net.URLConnection checkRedirect(java.net.URLConnection urlConnection)
                                            throws java.io.IOException

check for 301, 302 or 303 redirects, and return a new connection in this case. This should be called immediately before the urlConnection.connect call, as this must connect to get the response code.

Parameters:

urlConnection - if an HttpUrlConnection, check for 301 or 302; return connection otherwise.

Returns:

a connection, typically the same one as passed in.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
