newHeaderValue

public static HeaderValue newHeaderValue(String value)

Creates a HeaderValue wrapper over a String header value representation.

Parameters:

value - String header value representation

Returns:

a HeaderValue wrapper over a String heade value representation

prepare

public HeaderValue prepare()

Prepare the HeaderValue for the serialization. This method might be particularly useful if we use the same HeaderValue over and over for different responses, so that the HeaderValue will not have to be parsed and prepared for each response separately.

Returns:

this HeaderValue

isSet

public boolean isSet()

Returns:

true if header value is not null, or false otherwise

get

public String get()

Returns:

the header value string

getByteArray

public byte[] getByteArray()

Returns:

the byte array representation of the header value

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

serializeToDataChunk

public void serializeToDataChunk(DataChunk dc)

Serializes this HeaderValue value into a passed DataChunk.

Parameters:

dc - DataChunk
