Hello, I am not sure if this is a bug or I am not running this right.
I am trying to get the preferences architecture to modify the http.useragent property at the client level, and then retrieve the value at the method and host level. The value gets percolated down to the Method level but the Host level value does not change and gives the global value. See code below. As per the 3.0 B2 documentation, the Method and Host params should try and retrieve the value of the http.useragent from their local cache, and if it they do not find it, should go up the heirarchy, till they reach the global params. Since in the code below, the value is set at the Client level, one lower than the Global level, it should be retrieved from the Client level for both Method and Host params. Regards, Vikram import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HostConfiguration; public class HttpClientTest { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.getParams().setParameter("http.useragent", "My Browser"); // set the value here HostConfiguration host = new HostConfiguration(); host.setHost("www.google.com"); GetMethod method = new GetMethod("/"); int returnCode = client.executeMethod(host, method); System.err.println("User-Agent: " + host.getParams().getParameter("http.useragent")); // does not print My Browser System.err.println("User-Agent: " + method.getParams().getParameter("http.useragent")); // prints My Browser method.releaseConnection(); } } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
