使用 Spring RestTemplate 调用 rest 服务时自定义请求头（custom HTTP headers）

在 Spring 3.0 中可以通过 HttpEntity 对象自定义请求头信息，如：

private static final String APPLICATION_PDF = "application/pdf";
 
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
 
@Test
public void acceptHeaderUsingHttpEntity() throws Exception {
  HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
  headers.setAccept(singletonList(MediaType.valueOf(APPLICATION_PDF)));
 
  ResponseEntity response = restTemplate.exchange("http://example.com/file/123",
      GET,
      new HttpEntity(headers),
      byte[].class);
 
  String responseText = PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(new PdfReader(response.getBody()), 1);
  assertEquals("Some text in PDF file", responseText);
}

在 Spring 3.1 中有了一个更强大的替代接口 ClientHttpRequestInterceptor，这个接口只有一个方法： intercept(HttpRequest request, byte[] body, ClientHttpRequestExecution execution)，下面是一个例子：

private static final String APPLICATION_PDF = "application/pdf";
 
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
 
@Test
public void acceptHeaderUsingHttpRequestInterceptors() throws Exception {
  ClientHttpRequestInterceptor acceptHeaderPdf = new AcceptHeaderHttpRequestInterceptor(
      APPLICATION_PDF);
 
  restTemplate.setInterceptors(singletonList(acceptHeaderPdf));
 
  byte[] response = restTemplate.getForObject("http://example.com/file/123", byte[].class);
 
  String responseText = PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(new PdfReader(response), 1);
  assertEquals("Some text in PDF file", responseText);
}
 
class AcceptHeaderHttpRequestInterceptor implements ClientHttpRequestInterceptor {
  private final String headerValue;
 
  public AcceptHeaderHttpRequestInterceptor(String headerValue) {
    this.headerValue = headerValue;
  }
 
  @Override
  public ClientHttpResponse intercept(HttpRequest request, byte[] body,
      ClientHttpRequestExecution execution) throws IOException {
 
    HttpRequestWrapper requestWrapper = new HttpRequestWrapper(request);
    requestWrapper.getHeaders().setAccept(singletonList(MediaType.valueOf(headerValue)));
 
    return execution.execute(requestWrapper, body);
  }
}
