Description

Interface Summary

AuthorizationHandler	This is the interface that an Authorization handler must implement.
AuthorizationPrompter	This is the interface that a username/password prompter must implement.
CookiePolicyHandler	This is the interface that a cookie policy handler must implement.
FilenameMangler	Codecs.mpFormDataDecode and Codecs.mpFormDataEncode may be handed an instance of a class which implements this interface in order to control names of the decoded files or the names sent in the encoded data.
HTTPClientModule	This is the interface that a module must implement.
HTTPClientModuleConstants	This interface defines the return codes that the handlers in modules may return.
RoRequest	This interface represents the read-only interface of an http request.
RoResponse	This interface represents read-only interface of an intermediate http response.

Class Summary

AuthorizationInfo	Holds the information for an authorization response.
Codecs	This class collects various encoders and decoders.
Cookie	This class represents an http cookie as specified in Netscape's cookie spec; however, because not even Netscape follows their own spec, and because very few folks out there actually read specs but instead just look whether Netscape accepts their stuff, the Set-Cookie header field parser actually tries to follow what Netscape has implemented, instead of what the spec says.
Cookie2	This class represents an http cookie as specified in the HTTP State Management Mechanism spec (also known as a version 1 cookie).
CookieModule	This module handles Netscape cookies (also called Version 0 cookies) and Version 1 cookies.

HttpHeaderElement	This class holds a description of an http header element.
HttpOutputStream	This class provides an output stream for requests.
HTTPResponse	This defines the http-response class returned by the requests.
HttpURLConnection	This class is a wrapper around HTTPConnection providing the interface defined by java.net.URLConnection and java.net.HttpURLConnection.
Log	This is a simple logger for the HTTPClient.
NVPair	This class holds a Name/Value pair of strings.
Request	This class represents an http request.
Response	This class represents an intermediate response.
URI	This class represents a generic URI, as defined in RFC-2396.
Util	This class holds various utility methods.
