Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static class	ContentDecoder.Factories
static class	ContentDecoder.Factory	Factory for ContentDecoders; subclasses must implement ContentDecoder.Factory.newContentDecoder().

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default void	afterDecoding(Response response)	Processes the exchange after the response content has been decoded.
default void	beforeDecoding(Response response)	Processes the response just before the decoding of the response content.
RetainableByteBuffer	decode(ByteBuffer buffer)	Decodes the bytes in the given buffer and returns the decoded bytes.

Method Details

beforeDecoding

default void beforeDecoding(Response response)

Processes the response just before the decoding of the response content.

Typical processing may involve modifying the response headers, for example by temporarily removing the Content-Length header, or modifying the Content-Encoding header.

decode

RetainableByteBuffer decode(ByteBuffer buffer)

Decodes the bytes in the given buffer and returns the decoded bytes.

The returned RetainableByteBuffer will eventually be released via Retainable.release() by the code that called this method.

Parameters:

buffer - the buffer containing encoded bytes

Returns:

a buffer containing decoded bytes

afterDecoding

default void afterDecoding(Response response)

Processes the exchange after the response content has been decoded.

Typical processing may involve modifying the response headers, for example updating the Content-Length header to the length of the decoded response content.
