DefaultConnectionReuseStrategy

Class Overview

Default implementation of a strategy deciding about connection re-use. The default implementation first checks some basics, for example whether the connection is still open or whether the end of the request entity can be determined without closing the connection. If these checks pass, the tokens in the "Connection" header will be examined. In the absence of a "Connection" header, the non-standard but commonly used "Proxy-Connection" header takes it's role. A token "close" indicates that the connection cannot be reused. If there is no such token, a token "keep-alive" indicates that the connection should be re-used. If neither token is found, or if there are no "Connection" headers, the default policy for the HTTP version is applied. Since HTTP/1.1, connections are re-used by default. Up until HTTP/1.0, connections are not re-used by default.

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object. boolean equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. void finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class. int hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object. final void notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. final void notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. String toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. final void wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires. final void wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
From interface org.apache.http.ConnectionReuseStrategy abstract boolean keepAlive(HttpResponse response, HttpContext context) Decides whether a connection can be kept open after a request.
