Interface ClientConnectionOperator

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultClientConnectionOperator

Deprecated. (4.3) replaced by HttpClientConnectionManager.

@Deprecated
public interface ClientConnectionOperator

ClientConnectionOperator represents a strategy for creating OperatedClientConnection instances and updating the underlying Socket of those objects. Implementations will most likely make use of SchemeSocketFactorys to create Socket instances.

The methods in this interface allow the creation of plain and layered sockets. Creating a tunnelled connection through a proxy, however, is not within the scope of the operator.

Implementations of this interface must be thread-safe. Access to shared data must be synchronized as methods of this interface may be executed from multiple threads.

Since:

4.0

Method Summary

OperatedClientConnection	createConnection() Deprecated. Creates a new connection that can be operated.
void	openConnection(OperatedClientConnection conn, org.apache.http.HttpHost target, InetAddress local, org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context, org.apache.http.params.HttpParams params) Deprecated. Opens a connection to the given target host.
void	updateSecureConnection(OperatedClientConnection conn, org.apache.http.HttpHost target, org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context, org.apache.http.params.HttpParams params) Deprecated. Updates a connection with a layered secure connection.

Method Detail

createConnection

OperatedClientConnection createConnection()

Deprecated.

Creates a new connection that can be operated.

Returns:

a new, unopened connection for use with this operator

openConnection

void openConnection(OperatedClientConnection conn,
                    org.apache.http.HttpHost target,
                    InetAddress local,
                    org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context,
                    org.apache.http.params.HttpParams params)
                    throws IOException

Deprecated.

Opens a connection to the given target host.

Parameters:

conn - the connection to open

target - the target host to connect to

local - the local address to route from, or null for the default

context - the context for the connection

params - the parameters for the connection

Throws:

IOException - in case of a problem

updateSecureConnection

void updateSecureConnection(OperatedClientConnection conn,
                            org.apache.http.HttpHost target,
                            org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context,
                            org.apache.http.params.HttpParams params)
                            throws IOException

Deprecated.

Updates a connection with a layered secure connection. The typical use of this method is to update a tunnelled plain connection (HTTP) to a secure TLS/SSL connection (HTTPS).

Parameters:

conn - the open connection to update

target - the target host for the updated connection. The connection must already be open or tunnelled to the host and port, but the scheme of the target will be used to create a layered connection.

context - the context for the connection

params - the parameters for the updated connection

Throws:

IOException - in case of a problem
