Method Details

getEntity

public HttpEntity getEntity()

Specified by:

getEntity in interface HttpEntityEnclosingRequest

setEntity

public void setEntity(HttpEntity entity)

Description copied from interface: HttpEntityEnclosingRequest

Hands the entity to the request.

Specified by:

setEntity in interface HttpEntityEnclosingRequest

Parameters:

entity - the entity to send.

expectContinue

public boolean expectContinue()

Description copied from interface: HttpEntityEnclosingRequest

Tells if this request should use the expect-continue handshake. The expect continue handshake gives the server a chance to decide whether to accept the entity enclosing request before the possibly lengthy entity is sent across the wire.

Specified by:

expectContinue in interface HttpEntityEnclosingRequest

Returns:

true if the expect continue handshake should be used, false if not.

clone

public Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

Description copied from class: Object

Creates and returns a copy of this Object. The default implementation returns a so-called "shallow" copy: It creates a new instance of the same class and then copies the field values (including object references) from this instance to the new instance. A "deep" copy, in contrast, would also recursively clone nested objects. A subclass that needs to implement this kind of cloning should call super.clone() to create the new instance and then create deep copies of the nested, mutable objects.

Overrides:

clone in class HttpRequestBase

Returns:

a copy of this object.

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException - if this object's class does not implement the Cloneable interface.
