      public HttpField(HttpHeader header, String name, String value)

      Creates a new HttpField with the given HttpHeader, name string and value string.

      A null field value may be passed as parameter, and will be converted to the empty string. This allows the direct constructions of fields that have no value, and/or HttpField subclasses that override getValue().

      Parameters:
      header - the HttpHeader referencing a well-known HTTP header name; may be null in case of an unknown or custom HTTP header name
      name - the field name; if null, then HttpHeader.asString() is used
      value - the field value; if null, the empty string will be used

    • HttpField

      public HttpField(HttpHeader header, String value)

      Creates a new HttpField with the given HttpHeader and value string.

      Parameters:
      header - the non-null HttpHeader referencing a well-known HTTP header name
      value - the field value; if null, the empty string will be used

    • HttpField

      public HttpField(HttpHeader header, HttpHeaderValue value)

      Creates a new HttpField with the given HttpHeader and value.

      Parameters:
      header - the non-null HttpHeader referencing a well-known HTTP header name
      value - the field value; if null, the empty string will be used

    • HttpField

      public HttpField(String name, String value)
