Interface RequestDirector

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultRequestDirector

Deprecated.

(4.3) No longer used

@Deprecated
public interface RequestDirector

A client-side request director. The director decides which steps are necessary to execute a request. It establishes connections and optionally processes redirects and authentication challenges. The director may therefore generate and send a sequence of requests in order to execute one initial request.

Since:

4.0

Deprecated.

Executes a request.
Note: For the time being, a new director is instantiated for each request. This is the same behavior as for HttpMethodDirector in HttpClient 3.

target - the target host for the request. Implementations may accept null if they can still determine a route, for example to a default target or by inspecting the request.

request - the request to execute

context - the context for executing the request

Returns:

the final response to the request. This is never an intermediate response with status code 1xx.

Throws:

HttpException - in case of a problem

java.io.IOException - in case of an IO problem or if the connection was aborted
