Interface RequestDirector

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    DefaultRequestDirector

    @Deprecated
    public interface RequestDirector
    Deprecated.
    (4.3) No longer used
    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

        org.apache.http.HttpResponse execute​(org.apache.http.HttpHost target,
                                             org.apache.http.HttpRequest request,
                                             org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context)
                                      throws org.apache.http.HttpException,
                                             java.io.IOException
        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.

        Parameters:
        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:
        org.apache.http.HttpException - in case of a problem
        java.io.IOException - in case of an IO problem or if the connection was aborted
