-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 All,
I've got a perfect use-case for HTTP trailers but it doesn't seem like any existing client (e.g. HttpURLConnection, HttpClient) has support for them on the /sending/ side. HttpURLConnection doesn't have a way (that I can see) to fetch trailing headers, but it may just be that you have to consume the response and then check the headers (similar to what you'd do in a Servlet when the client actually sends trailing headers to the server). HttpClient allows you to get the trailing headers from a response in a very awkward way by reading them from the ChunkedInputStream which is buried a few levels deep, evidently. But neither seem to have a way to actually *send* headers to the server. Has anyone ever actually done this from a Java-based client? I'm currently using my own wrapper around HttpURLConnection (because HttpClient seemed to heavy for my purposes) and it's been working great for a few years. I'd like to support a streaming mode plus trailer headers with it, and I'd prefer not to dump HttpURLConnection and replace it with low-level socket work because them I'll have to do a whole bunch of work to reproduce what HttpURLConnection is already providing (e.g. TLS, auto-redirects, etc.). Any ideas from the community? Thanks, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVMoQlAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYIJIP/RaTgeS/0IcrB6lw5eheBhpu 69IBNSi6E0doR+TmxjvsENlCKOpZcepZ5kqUfGTh704hJJMHXxDDoPUb0L02GZFG jFhZIAitZh2249e7msBw5zgI5+xcaPGYKPbAHIZepxXj/kj+OdybNdNrKvMNJRNY yDYQJYxn6HSxLvBqSd3Fka8phEJVlhn70xgtp/8H7EvNI1zohPxj6g3b7cfKmf2h w2oqWC4cOvqClA6/F8A8avGlU1LYrTKkLruWEVRqTsTYbMaHUBiLidgqKcLC1nOE JW+zzEWjox3EaY/7OraAUNnlN4xlko8lLBWn1YxPf8iv45avaA/sGyyIUaqzRNFh SIBUlEOL0ldG3yk7Odr7U5f9DAnRFgb2nDm2c/gzBPfxwYx/1CP73MFv+rWA+ASF 31BzqelbiIgnShiDY1Lq/FkXFlTfiaYrjqxNxE4YawyuCML34rPM+zcoh4nmKS43 5Wc5nxCJ9OX/JhN7aTxgkdBY19ad72C5aVoyojzYQm42gIhe6aBlZwpIFFmNeZhW k01JbwFpG6i/Z8K428MK/aI7O6yas6wWbQf6qtmyG2d2zh0u21oSXQ5top/AnfgA c+kzRUaBmECUN+Ax5rqsxahjON7aMV9JU0IWf6yI39OsMDhmljQ5+hSb4tsDFV5k h5np8G3cXN/rdmX4Dmb2 =69hw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
