Method Detail

getAllTSpecialChars

@Nonnull
@ReturnsMutableCopy
public static char[] getAllTSpecialChars()

Returns:

A copy of the array with all TSpecial chars. Never null.

isTSpecialChar

public static boolean isTSpecialChar(char c)

Check if the passed character is a special character according to RFC 2045 chapter 5.1

Parameters:

c - The character to check

Returns:

true if the character is a special character, false otherwise.

isTokenChar

public static boolean isTokenChar(char c)

Check if the passed character is a valid token character. According to RFC 2045 this can be any (US-ASCII) CHAR except SPACE, CTLs, or tspecials

Parameters:

c - The character to check.

Returns:

true if the passed character is a valid token character, false otherwise

isToken

public static boolean isToken(@Nullable
                              String sToken)

Check if the passed string is a valid MIME token by checking that the length is at least 1 and all chars match the isTokenChar(char) condition.

Parameters:

sToken - The token to be checked. May be null.

Returns:

true if the passed string is valid token, false otherwise.

parseMimeType

@Nullable
public static MimeType parseMimeType(@Nullable
                                     String sMimeType)
                              throws MimeTypeParserException

Try to convert the string representation of a MIME type to an object. The default quoting algorithm CMimeType.DEFAULT_QUOTING is used to unquote strings.

Parameters:

sMimeType - The string representation to be converted. May be null.

Returns:

null if the parsed string is empty.

Throws:

MimeTypeParserException - In case of an error

parseMimeType

@Nullable
public static MimeType parseMimeType(@Nullable
                                     String sMimeType,
                                     @Nonnull
                                     EMimeQuoting eQuotingAlgorithm)
                              throws MimeTypeParserException

Try to convert the string representation of a MIME type to an object. The default quoting algorithm CMimeType.DEFAULT_QUOTING is used to un-quote strings.

Parameters:

sMimeType - The string representation to be converted. May be null.

eQuotingAlgorithm - The quoting algorithm to be used to un-quote parameter values. May not be null.

Returns:

null if the parsed string is empty.

Throws:

MimeTypeParserException - In case of an error

safeParseMimeType

@Nullable
public static MimeType safeParseMimeType(@Nullable
                                         String sMimeType)

Try to convert the string representation of a MIME type to an object. The default quoting algorithm CMimeType.DEFAULT_QUOTING is used to unquote strings. Compared to parseMimeType(String) this method swallows all MimeTypeParserException and simply returns null. Additionally if the string is RFC 2616 encoded, it is decoded before parsing (since 9.4.6).

Parameters:

sMimeType - The string representation to be converted. May be null.

Returns:

null if the parsed string is empty or not a valid mime type.

safeParseMimeType

@Nullable
public static MimeType safeParseMimeType(@Nullable
                                         String sMimeType,
                                         @Nonnull
                                         EMimeQuoting eQuotingAlgorithm)

Try to convert the string representation of a MIME type to an object. The default quoting algorithm CMimeType.DEFAULT_QUOTING is used to unquote strings. Compared to parseMimeType(String, EMimeQuoting) this method swallows all MimeTypeParserException and simply returns null. Additionally if the string is RFC 2616 encoded, it is decoded before parsing (since 9.4.6).

Parameters:

sMimeType - The string representation to be converted. May be null.

eQuotingAlgorithm - The quoting algorithm to be used to un-quote parameter values. May not be null.

Returns:

null if the parsed string is empty or not a valid mime type.

Since:

9.4.6
