HttpClient实现网络访问详解1

1、HttpClient的最常用功能是execute()方法。执行一次execute()会包括了一次或多次request请求 - response响应事件。HttpClient会将request请求发送给目标服务器以取得response响应对象，也可有可能在执行失败后抛出一个异常。

        一个简单的代码如下：

    CloseableHttpClienthttpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
    HttpGet httpget = newHttpGet("http://localhost/");
    CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
    try {
        <...>
    } finally {
        response.close();
    }

 

2、所有的Http request请求都包括了一个方法名、一个请求地址和一个HTTP协议版本号。HttpClient支持HTTP/1.1协议下所有的HTTP方法，包括：Get、HEAD、POST、PUT、DELETE、TRACE和OPTIONS。每一种方法都通过特定的类来实现，包括HttpGet、HttpHead、HttpPost、HttpPut、HttpDelete、HttpTrace和HttpOptions。

   请求地址由一个URI（统一资源定位符）来描述。Http URI包括了协议、主机名、端口、地址、请求参数等。

   例如：

   HttpGet httpget = newHttpGet(
     "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=httpclient&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=");

 

       HttpClient 提供了URIBuilder类来简化请求地址的创建和修改，例如：

   URI uri = newURIBuilder()
           .setScheme("http")
           .setHost("www.google.com")
           .setPath("/search")
           .setParameter("q","httpclient")
           .setParameter("btnG","Google Search")
           .setParameter("aq","f")
           .setParameter("oq","")
           .build();
    HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(uri);
    System.out.println(httpget.getURI());

 

    输出：

    http://www.google.com/search?q=httpclient&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

 

 

3、Httpresponse是服务器返回给客户端的一段报文。报文的第一行包括了协议版本、数字状态码和文字描述。例如：

    HttpResponse response= new BasicHttpResponse(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1,
                            HttpStatus.SC_OK, "OK");

    System.out.println(response.getProtocolVersion());
    System.out.println(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
    System.out.println(response.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase());
    System.out.println(response.getStatusLine().toString());

 

4、一段Http报文包括了多个header描述属性，包括内容长度、内容类型等等，HttpClient提供了查询、删除、处理header的方法，例如：

 

    HttpResponse response= new BasicHttpResponse(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1,
                            HttpStatus.SC_OK,"OK");
    response.addHeader("Set-Cookie",
                            "c1=a; path=/;domain=localhost");
    response.addHeader("Set-Cookie",
                            "c2=b; path=\"/\",c3=c; domain=\"localhost\"");
    Header h1 = response.getFirstHeader("Set-Cookie");
    System.out.println(h1);
    Header h2 =response.getLastHeader("Set-Cookie");
    System.out.println(h2);
    Header[] hs =response.getHeaders("Set-Cookie");
    System.out.println(hs.length);

 

    输出：

    Set-Cookie: c1=a;path=/; domain=localhost
    Set-Cookie: c2=b; path="/", c3=c; domain="localhost"
    2

 

    最有效率的做法是用HeaderIterator来获得特定类型的所有header。

    例如：

 

    HttpResponse response= new BasicHttpResponse(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1,
                           HttpStatus.SC_OK,"OK");
    response.addHeader("Set-Cookie",
                            "c1=a; path=/;domain=localhost");
    response.addHeader("Set-Cookie",
                            "c2=b; path=\"/\",c3=c; domain=\"localhost\"");

    HeaderIterator it =response.headerIterator("Set-Cookie");

    while (it.hasNext()){
            System.out.println(it.next());
    }

 

    输出：

 

    Set-Cookie: c1=a;path=/; domain=localhost
    Set-Cookie: c2=b; path="/", c3=c; domain="localhost"

 

5、HttpEntity 是Http request-reponse交互的报文内容。HttpClient区分了三种报文内容：

    （1）流形式的报文内容，报文内容不可重复。

    （2）独立的报文内容，报文内容是可重复的。

    （3）从其他报文内容中获取的报文内容。

 

    通过HttpEntity的getContent()可以获得Java.io.Inputstream的输入流，也可以通过HttpEntity的writeTo(OutputStream)写入内容。

         HttpEntity的getContentType()和getContentLength()方法可以获取Content-Type和Content-Length的元数据，getContentEncoding()方法可以获取编码格式。

    例如：

    StringEntity myEntity= new StringEntity("important message",
    ContentType.create("text/plain", "UTF-8"));

    System.out.println(myEntity.getContentType());
    System.out.println(myEntity.getContentLength());
    System.out.println(EntityUtils.toString(myEntity));
    System.out.println(EntityUtils.toByteArray(myEntity).length);

 

    输出：

     Content-Type:text/plain; charset=utf-8
    17
    important message
    17

 

    读取HttpEntity，例如：

    CloseableHttpClienthttpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
    HttpGet httpget = newHttpGet("http://localhost/");
    CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
    try {
        HttpEntity entity =response.getEntity();
        if (entity != null) {
            long len =entity.getContentLength();
            if (len != -1 && len <2048) {
               System.out.println(EntityUtils.toString(entity));
            } else {
                // Stream contentout
            }
        }
    } finally {
        response.close();
    }

 

    也可以生成报文内容

    File file = newFile("somefile.txt");
    FileEntity entity = new FileEntity(file,
                       ContentType.create("text/plain", "UTF-8"));       

    HttpPost httppost =newHttpPost("http://localhost/action.do");
    httppost.setEntity(entity);

6、可以通过UrlEncodeFormEntity来提交表单，例如

    List<NameValuePair>formparams = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
    formparams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("param1","value1"));
    formparams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("param2","value2"));
    UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(formparams,Consts.UTF_8);
    HttpPost httppost = newHttpPost("http://localhost/handler.do");
    httppost.setEntity(entity);

 

 

7、可以采用ResponseHandler来简化连接操作，例如

 

    CloseableHttpClienthttpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
    HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://localhost/json");

    ResponseHandler<MyJsonObject>rh = new ResponseHandler<MyJsonObject>() {

        @Override
        public JsonObjecthandleResponse(
                final HttpResponse response)throws IOException {
            StatusLine statusLine =response.getStatusLine();
            HttpEntity entity =response.getEntity();
            if (statusLine.getStatusCode()>= 300) {
                throw newHttpResponseException(
                   statusLine.getStatusCode(),
                    statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
            }
            if (entity == null) {
                throw newClientProtocolException("Response contains no content");
            }
            Gson gson = newGsonBuilder().create();
            ContentType contentType =ContentType.getOrDefault(entity);
            Charset charset =contentType.getCharset();
            Reader reader = newInputStreamReader(entity.getContent(), charset);
            return gson.fromJson(reader,MyJsonObject.class);
        }
    };
    MyJsonObject myjson = client.execute(httpget, rh);

 

 

8、 httpClient不是线程安全的，所以如果不再使用的话，可以通过close()方法进行关闭，例如

 

    CloseableHttpClienthttpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
    try {
        <...>
    } finally {
            httpclient.close();
}

 

9、HttpContext可以作为Http交互的上下文，是以java.util.Map存储的对象。包括了HttpConnection、HttpHost、HttpRoute、HttpRequest等，可以通过HttpclientContext来定义上下文状态。

    HttpContext context =<...>
    HttpClientContext clientContext =HttpClientContext.adapt(context);
    HttpHost target = clientContext.getTargetHost();
    HttpRequest request = clientContext.getRequest();
    HttpResponse response = clientContext.getResponse();
    RequestConfig config = clientContext.getRequestConfig();

 

 10、如果要实现重试机制，可以采用HttpRequestRetryHandler接口来实现。例如：

    HttpRequestRetryHandlermyRetryHandler = new HttpRequestRetryHandler() {

    public booleanretryRequest(
                IOExceptionexception,
                intexecutionCount,
                HttpContext context){
        if (executionCount >= 5){
            // Do not retry if over maxretry count
            return false;
        }
        if (exception instanceofInterruptedIOException) {
            // Timeout
            return false;
        }
        if (exception instanceofUnknownHostException) {
            // Unknown host
            return false;
        }
        if (exception instanceofConnectTimeoutException) {
            // Connectionrefused
            return false;
        }
        if (exception instanceofSSLException) {
            // SSL handshakeexception
            return false;
        }
        HttpClientContext clientContext =HttpClientContext.adapt(context);
        HttpRequest request =clientContext.getRequest();
        boolean idempotent = !(requestinstanceof HttpEntityEnclosingRequest);
        if (idempotent) {
            // Retry if the request isconsidered idempotent
            return true;
        }
            return false;
        }

    };
    CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()
               .setRetryHandler(myRetryHandler)
                .build();

 

 

11、重定向处理，例如：

 

    CloseableHttpClienthttpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
    HttpClientContext context = HttpClientContext.create();
    HttpGet httpget = newHttpGet("http://localhost:8080/");
    CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget, context);
    try {
        HttpHost target =context.getTargetHost();
        List<URI> redirectLocations =context.getRedirectLocations();
        URI location =URIUtils.resolve(httpget.getURI(), target, redirectLocations);
        System.out.println("Final HTTPlocation: " + location.toASCIIString());
        // Expected to be an absoluteURI
    } finally {
        response.close();
    }
