Method Details

getRequest

HttpRequest getRequest()

Obtains the HttpRequest to be serviced.

Returns:

HttpRequest to be serviced.

getResponse

HttpResponse getResponse()

Obtains the HttpResponse.

Returns:

HttpResponse.

isSecure

boolean isSecure()

Indicates if the connection is over a secure channel (e.g. utilising SSL).

Returns:

true if connection is over a secure channel.

getServerLocation

HttpServerLocation getServerLocation()

Obtains the HttpServerLocation.

Returns:

HttpServerLocation.

exportState

Serializable exportState()
                  throws IOException

Exports the state of the current HttpRequest and HttpResponse.

This enables maintaining the state of the HttpRequest / HttpResponse and later reinstating them (typically after a redirect).

Returns:

Momento containing the current HttpRequest and HttpResponse state.

Throws:

IOException - Should the state not be able to be exported.

See Also:

• importState(Serializable)

importState

void importState(Serializable momento)
          throws IllegalArgumentException,
IOException

Imports and overrides the current HttpRequest and HttpResponse with the input momento.

Parameters:

momento - Momento exported from a ServerHttpConnection.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - Should the momento be invalid.

IOException - Should the state not be able to be imported.

• exportState()

getClientRequest

HttpRequest getClientRequest()

Obtains the actual client sent HttpRequest for the ServerHttpConnection.

As the HttpRequest can be overridden, this allows logic requiring to know details of the actual client HttpRequest. Examples of this logic are:

• the POST/redirect/GET pattern that needs to know whether the client sent HttpMethod is a POST or GET (regardless of imported state)
• checking for the Authorization HttpHeader to ensure it was sent by the client for servicing the HttpRequest
• checking for the JWT token HttpRequestCookie to ensure it was sent by the client for servicing the HttpRequest

Note for most application logic the getRequest() should be used, as the intention is for this to contain the appropriate information for servicing the HttpRequest.

Returns:

Actual client HttpRequest.
