Field Detail

METHOD_OVERRIDE_PROPERTY

public static final java.lang.String METHOD_OVERRIDE_PROPERTY

If this system property is set to true, the GData HTTP client library will use POST to send data to the associated GData service and will specify the actual method using the METHOD_OVERRIDE_HEADER HTTP header. This can be used as a workaround for HTTP proxies or gateways that do not handle PUT or DELETE HTTP methods properly. If the system property is false, the regular PUT and DELETE HTTP verbs will be used.

METHOD_OVERRIDE_HEADER

@Deprecated
public static final java.lang.String METHOD_OVERRIDE_HEADER

Deprecated. Use GDataProtocol.Header#METHOD_OVERRIDE instead

Name of HTTP header containing the method name that overrides the normal HTTP method.

Method Detail

getRequestUrl

public java.net.URL getRequestUrl()

Description copied from interface: Service.GDataRequest

Returns the URL that is the target of the GData request

Specified by:

getRequestUrl in interface Service.GDataRequest

getRequestContentType

public ContentType getRequestContentType()

Description copied from interface: Service.GDataRequest

Returns the ContentType of the data that will be written to the service by this request or null if no data is written to the server by the request.

Specified by:

getRequestContentType in interface Service.GDataRequest

setConnectTimeout

public void setConnectTimeout(int timeout)

Description copied from interface: Service.GDataRequest

Sets the number of milliseconds to wait for a connection to the remote GData service before timing out.

Specified by:

setConnectTimeout in interface Service.GDataRequest

Parameters:

timeout - the read timeout. A value of zero indicates an infinite timeout.

See Also:

URLConnection.setConnectTimeout(int)

setReadTimeout

public void setReadTimeout(int timeout)

Description copied from interface: Service.GDataRequest

Sets the number of milliseconds to wait for a response from the remote GData service before timing out.

Specified by:

setReadTimeout in interface Service.GDataRequest

Parameters:

timeout - the read timeout. A value of zero indicates an infinite timeout.

See Also:

URLConnection.setReadTimeout(int)

setIfModifiedSince

public void setIfModifiedSince(DateTime conditionDate)

Description copied from interface: Service.GDataRequest

Sets the If-Modified-Since date precondition to be applied to the request. If this precondition is set, then the request will be performed only if the target resource has been modified since the specified date; otherwise, a NotModifiedException will be thrown. The default value is null, indicating no precondition.

Specified by:

setIfModifiedSince in interface Service.GDataRequest

Parameters:

conditionDate - the date that should be used to limit the operation on the target resource. The operation will only be performed if the resource has been modified later than the specified date.

setEtag

public void setEtag(java.lang.String etag)

Description copied from interface: Service.GDataRequest

Sets the entity tag value that will be used to conditionalize the request if not null. For a query requests, the tag will cause the target resource to be returned if the resource entity tag does not match the specified value (i.e. if the resource has not changed). For update or delete request types, the entity tag value is used to indicate that the requested operation should occur only if the specified etag value does match the specified value (i.e. if the resource has changed). A request entity tag value may not be associated with other request types.

Specified by:

setEtag in interface Service.GDataRequest
