ClientConnectionOperator

org.apache.http.conn.ClientConnectionOperator
Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

Interface for opening connections. This interface encapsulates the logic to create sockets and to open or update the connection with the new socket. Implementations will most likely make use of socket factories.
The methods in this interface allow the creation of plain and layered sockets. Creating a tunnelled connection through a proxy, however, is not within the scope of the operator.

Summary

Public Methods
abstract OperatedClientConnection createConnection()
Creates a new connection that can be operated.
abstract void openConnection(OperatedClientConnection conn, HttpHost target, InetAddress local, HttpContext context, HttpParams params)
Opens a connection to the given target host.
abstract void updateSecureConnection(OperatedClientConnection conn, HttpHost target, HttpContext context, HttpParams params)
Updates a connection with a layered secure connection.

Public Methods

public abstract OperatedClientConnection createConnection ()

Creates a new connection that can be operated.

Returns
  • a new, unopened connection for use with this operator

public abstract void openConnection (OperatedClientConnection conn, HttpHost target, InetAddress local, HttpContext context, HttpParams params)

Opens a connection to the given target host.

Parameters
conn the connection to open
target the target host to connect to
local the local address to route from, or null for the default
context the context for the connection
params the parameters for the connection
Throws
IOException in case of a problem

public abstract void updateSecureConnection (OperatedClientConnection conn, HttpHost target, HttpContext context, HttpParams params)

Updates a connection with a layered secure connection. The typical use of this method is to update a tunnelled plain connection (HTTP) to a secure TLS/SSL connection (HTTPS).

Parameters
conn the open connection to update
target the target host for the updated connection. The connection must already be open or tunnelled to the host and port, but the scheme of the target will be used to create a layered connection.
context the context for the connection
params the parameters for the updated connection
Throws
IOException in case of a problem
