HttpClient4.3.x使用-基础篇

一、关闭流和response

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://localhost/");
CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
try {
    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
    if (entity != null) {
        InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
        try {
            // do something useful
        } finally {
            instream.close();
        }
    }
} finally {
    response.close();
}

The difference between closing the content stream and closing the response is that the former will
attempt to keep the underlying connection alive by consuming the entity content while the latter
immediately shuts down and discards the connection.

关闭InputStream和关闭response的区别在于：关闭InputStream会经过消费实体内容与底层保持链接，而关闭response则会当即中止和丢弃链接。

class HttpResponseProxy implements CloseableHttpResponse {
    private final HttpResponse original;
    private final ConnectionHolder connHolder;
    public HttpResponseProxy(final HttpResponse original, final ConnectionHolder connHolder) {
        this.original = original;
        this.connHolder = connHolder;
        ResponseEntityProxy.enchance(original, connHolder);
    }
    public void close() throws IOException {
        if (this.connHolder != null) {
            this.connHolder.abortConnection();
        }
    }

丢弃的代码：

public void abortConnection() {
        synchronized (this.managedConn) {
            if (this.released) {
                return;
            }
            this.released = true;
            try {
                this.managedConn.shutdown();
                log.debug("Connection discarded");
            } catch (final IOException ex) {
                if (this.log.isDebugEnabled()) {
                    this.log.debug(ex.getMessage(), ex);
                }
            } finally {
                this.manager.releaseConnection(
                        this.managedConn, null, 0, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
            }
        }
    }

二、读取Entity

若是是使用EntityUtils#consume(HttpEntity)这个方法，它会自动去关闭inputStream

若是不须要读取所有的实体，则能够直接关闭response，来终止InputSteam的读取（关闭response会自动关闭InputStream）。

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://localhost/");
CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
try {
    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
    if (entity != null) {
        InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
        int byteOne = instream.read();
        int byteTwo = instream.read();
        // Do not need the rest
    }
} finally {
    response.close();
}

不推荐使用EntityUtils的toString方法，若是须要的话，最好本身判断长度：

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("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 content out
        }
    }
} finally {
    response.close();
}

由于toString方法默认最大的长度是Integer.MAX_VALUE，这个有点危险，会致使缓冲区溢出。

/**
     * Get the entity content as a String, using the provided default character set
     * if none is found in the entity.
     * If defaultCharset is null, the default "ISO-8859-1" is used.
     *
     * @param entity must not be null
     * @param defaultCharset character set to be applied if none found in the entity
     * @return the entity content as a String. May be null if
     *   {@link HttpEntity#getContent()} is null.
     * @throws ParseException if header elements cannot be parsed
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if entity is null or if content length > Integer.MAX_VALUE
     * @throws IOException if an error occurs reading the input stream
     * @throws UnsupportedCharsetException Thrown when the named charset is not available in
     * this instance of the Java virtual machine
     */
    public static String toString(
            final HttpEntity entity, final Charset defaultCharset) throws IOException, ParseException {
        Args.notNull(entity, "Entity");
        final InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
        if (instream == null) {
            return null;
        }
        try {
            Args.check(entity.getContentLength() <= Integer.MAX_VALUE,
                    "HTTP entity too large to be buffered in memory");
            int i = (int)entity.getContentLength();
            if (i < 0) {
                i = 4096;
            }
            Charset charset = null;
            try {
                final ContentType contentType = ContentType.get(entity);
                if (contentType != null) {
                    charset = contentType.getCharset();
                }
            } catch (final UnsupportedCharsetException ex) {
                throw new UnsupportedEncodingException(ex.getMessage());
            }
            if (charset == null) {
                charset = defaultCharset;
            }
            if (charset == null) {
                charset = HTTP.DEF_CONTENT_CHARSET;
            }
            final Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(instream, charset);
            final CharArrayBuffer buffer = new CharArrayBuffer(i);
            final char[] tmp = new char[1024];
            int l;
            while((l = reader.read(tmp)) != -1) {
                buffer.append(tmp, 0, l);
            }
            return buffer.toString();
        } finally {
            instream.close();
        }
    }

若是entity须要反复使用的话，最好使用缓存起来：

CloseableHttpResponse response = <...>
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
    entity = new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
}

三、写Entity

主要有四种：StringEntity, ByteArrayEntity, InputStreamEntity,和FileEntity

File file = new File("somefile.txt");
FileEntity entity = new FileEntity(file, 
    ContentType.create("text/plain", "UTF-8"));        
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://localhost/action.do");
httppost.setEntity(entity);

注意：InputStreamEnity只能读取一次。

表单：

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 = new HttpPost("http://localhost/handler.do");
httppost.setEntity(entity);

它会自动对参数进行URL编码。
param1=value1&param2=value2

四、处理Response

最直接的方式是使用ResponseHandler，它不须要去本身管理链接和资源释放，HttpClient会自动去保证链接被释放不管是否发生异常。

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://localhost/json");
ResponseHandler<MyJsonObject> rh = new ResponseHandler<MyJsonObject>() {
    @Override
    public JsonObject handleResponse(
            final HttpResponse response) throws IOException {
        StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        if (statusLine.getStatusCode() >= 300) {
            throw new HttpResponseException(
                    statusLine.getStatusCode(),
                    statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
        }
        if (entity == null) {
            throw new ClientProtocolException("Response contains no content");
        }
        Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create();
        ContentType contentType = ContentType.getOrDefault(entity);
        Charset charset = contentType.getCharset();
        Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(entity.getContent(), charset);
        return gson.fromJson(reader, MyJsonObject.class);
    }
};
MyJsonObject myjson = client.execute(httpget, rh);

五、自定义HttpClient

ConnectionKeepAliveStrategy keepAliveStrat = new DefaultConnectionKeepAliveStrategy() {
    @Override
    public long getKeepAliveDuration(
            HttpResponse response,
            HttpContext context) {
        long keepAlive = super.getKeepAliveDuration(response, context);
        if (keepAlive == -1) {
            // Keep connections alive 5 seconds if a keep-alive value
            // has not be explicitly set by the server
            keepAlive = 5000;
        }
        return keepAlive;
    }
};
CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()
        .setKeepAliveStrategy(keepAliveStrat)
        .build();

六、HttpContext

Http是请求响应式的，本是无状态的，不过web应用一般须要在几个连续的请求之间保持联系，所以可使用这个来传递变量，注意这个不是线程安全的，建议每一个线程使用一个。

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
RequestConfig requestConfig = RequestConfig.custom()
        .setSocketTimeout(1000)
        .setConnectTimeout(1000)
        .build();
HttpGet httpget1 = new HttpGet("http://localhost/1");
httpget1.setConfig(requestConfig);
CloseableHttpResponse response1 = httpclient.execute(httpget1, context);
try {
    HttpEntity entity1 = response1.getEntity();
} finally {
    response1.close();
}
HttpGet httpget2 = new HttpGet("http://localhost/2");
CloseableHttpResponse response2 = httpclient.execute(httpget2, context);
try {
    HttpEntity entity2 = response2.getEntity();
} finally {
    response2.close();
}

两次请求，经过context共享配置。

七、重试机制

HttpRequestRetryHandler myRetryHandler = new HttpRequestRetryHandler() {
    public boolean retryRequest(
            IOException exception,
            int executionCount,
            HttpContext context) {
        if (executionCount >= 5) {
            // Do not retry if over max retry count
            return false;
        }
        if (exception instanceof InterruptedIOException) {
            // Timeout
            return false;
        }
        if (exception instanceof UnknownHostException) {
            // Unknown host
            return false;
        }
        if (exception instanceof ConnectTimeoutException) {
    // Connection refused
            return false;
        }
        if (exception instanceof SSLException) {
            // SSL handshake exception
            return false;
        }
        HttpClientContext clientContext = HttpClientContext.adapt(context);
        HttpRequest request = clientContext.getRequest();
        boolean idempotent = !(request instanceof HttpEntityEnclosingRequest);
        if (idempotent) {
            // Retry if the request is considered idempotent
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
};
CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()
        .setRetryHandler(myRetryHandler)
        .build();

若是是幂等的操做，则能够重试。

八、终止请求

在一些状况下，因为目标服务器的高负载或客户端有不少活动的请求，那么 HTTP 请求执行会在预期的时间框内而失败。这时，就可能不得不过早地停止请求，解除封锁在 I/O 执行中的线程封锁。被 HttpClient 执行的 HTTP 请求能够在执行的任意阶段经过调用HttpUriRequest#abort()方法而停止。这个方法是线程安全的，并且能够从任意线程中调用。当一个 HTTP 请求被停止时，它的执行线程就封锁在 I/O 操做中了，并且保证经过抛出 InterruptedIOException 异常来解锁。

九、协议拦截器

协议拦截器可使用 HTTP 内容来为一个或多个连续的请求存储一个处理状态。 协议拦截器必须实现为线程安全的。和 Servlet 类似，协议拦截器不该该使用实例变量，除非访问的那些变量是同步的。

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()
        .addInterceptorLast(new HttpRequestInterceptor() {
            public void process(
                    final HttpRequest request,
                    final HttpContext context) throws HttpException, IOException {
                AtomicInteger count = (AtomicInteger) context.getAttribute("count");
                request.addHeader("Count", Integer.toString(count.getAndIncrement()));
            }
        })
        .build();
AtomicInteger count = new AtomicInteger(1);
HttpClientContext localContext = HttpClientContext.create();
localContext.setAttribute("count", count);
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://localhost/");
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget, localContext);
    try {
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
    } finally {
        response.close();
    }
}

十、重定向处理

HttpClient会自动处理重定向，固然也能够本身自定义策略。

LaxRedirectStrategy redirectStrategy = new LaxRedirectStrategy();
CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()
        .setRedirectStrategy(redirectStrategy)
        .build();

resolve能够用来构建绝对路径：

CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpClientContext context = HttpClientContext.create();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("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 HTTP location: " + location.toASCIIString());
    // Expected to be an absolute URI
} finally {
    response.close();
}
