Method Details

values

public static HttpMethod[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static HttpMethod valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()

is

public boolean is(String s)

isSafe

public boolean isSafe()

An HTTP method is safe if it doesn't alter the state of the server. In other words, a method is safe if it leads to a read-only operation. Several common HTTP methods are safe: GET , HEAD , or OPTIONS . All safe methods are also idempotent, but not all idempotent methods are safe

Returns:

if the method is safe.

isIdempotent

public boolean isIdempotent()

An idempotent HTTP method is an HTTP method that can be called many times without different outcomes. It would not matter if the method is called only once, or ten times over. The result should be the same.

Returns:

true if the method is idempotent.

asBuffer

public ByteBuffer asBuffer()

asString

public String asString()

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<HttpMethod>

lookAheadGet

@Deprecated
public static HttpMethod lookAheadGet(byte[] bytes,
 int position,
 int limit)

Deprecated.

Not used

Optimized lookup to find a method name and trailing space in a byte array.

Parameters:

bytes - Array containing ISO-8859-1 characters

position - The first valid index

limit - The first non valid index

Returns:

An HttpMethod if a match or null if no easy match.

lookAheadGet

public static HttpMethod lookAheadGet(ByteBuffer buffer)

Optimized lookup to find a method name and trailing space in a byte array.

Parameters:

buffer - buffer containing ISO-8859-1 characters, it is not modified.

Returns:

An HttpMethod if a match or null if no easy match.

fromString

public static HttpMethod fromString(String method)

Converts the given String parameter to an HttpMethod. The string may differ from the Enum name as a '-' in the method name is represented as a '_' in the Enum name.

Parameters:

method - the String to get the equivalent HttpMethod from

Returns:

the HttpMethod or null if the parameter method is unknown
