Thanks Oleg for the explanations, but what you are saying seems to contradict the current code structure.
> I assume you'd still want this method to be executed against > http://www.anothercompnany.com/ not http://www.mycompnany.com/, right? Actually no! I would expect it to be run against mycompany.com and not anothercompany.com, as I am explicitly passing a host configuration. This is the case with the current code anyways, as can be tested by running a simple example (see the code example of running against Google and Yahoo later) > So, if you want to know the exact host parameters applied during the > method execution, you should call > > =================================================================== > > method.getHostConfguration().getParams().getParameter("http.useragent")); > =================================================================== As I said earlier, this is not right. I tried it, but as expected, it still doesn't work. Please see the code below: import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HostConfiguration; public class HttpClientParameterV1 { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.getParams().setParameter("http.useragent", "My Browser"); HostConfiguration host = client.getHostConfiguration(); host.setHost("www.google.com"); GetMethod method = new GetMethod("http://www.yahoo.com";); int returnCode = client.executeMethod(host, method); // connects to Google and not Yahoo System.err.println(method.getResponseBodyAsString()); System.err.println("User-Agent: " + method.getHostConfiguration().getParams().getParameter("http.useragent")); // Still prints default useragent info System.err.println("User-Agent: " + method.getParams().getParameter("http.useragent")); method.releaseConnection(); } } Vikram ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oleg Kalnichevski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Commons HttpClient Project" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 10:29 PM Subject: Re: Problem with Preferences Architecture > > Vikram, > > I hope what is to follow will clarify things a little > > (1) > =================================================================== > HostConfiguration host = new HostConfiguration(); > host.setHost("www.google.com"); > =================================================================== > > These are the defaults that apply only when some host parameters have > not been explicitly defined by the method itself.
