Detailed Description

An InputStream which can be used to read from a given url.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ WebInputStream()

WebInputStream::WebInputStream	(	const URL &	url,
		const bool	usePost
	)

Creates a new WebInputstream which can be used to read from a url.

Parameters

url	The url that should be retrieved. This parameter may also contain post data and/or parameters.
usePost	Specifies whether a GET or a POST command should be used. This parameter will also influence the way parameters are encoded.

◆ ~WebInputStream()

WebInputStream::~WebInputStream ( )

override

Member Function Documentation

◆ withExtraHeaders()

WebInputStream& WebInputStream::withExtraHeaders ( const String & extraHeaders )

Add extra headers to http request.

Returns a reference to itself so that several methods can be chained.

Parameters

extraHeaders this string is appended onto the headers that are used for the request. It must therefore be a valid set of HTML header directives, separated by newlines.

◆ withCustomRequestCommand()

WebInputStream& WebInputStream::withCustomRequestCommand ( const String & customRequestCommand )

Override the http command that is sent.

Returns a reference to itself so that several methods can be chained.

Note that this command will not change the way parameters are sent. This must be specified in the constructor.

Parameters

customRequestCommand this string is the custom http request command such as POST or GET.

◆ withConnectionTimeout()

WebInputStream& WebInputStream::withConnectionTimeout ( int timeoutInMs )

Specify the connection time-out.

Returns a reference to itself so that several methods can be chained.

Parameters

timeoutInMs the number of milliseconds to wait until the connection request is aborted.

◆ withNumRedirectsToFollow()

WebInputStream& WebInputStream::withNumRedirectsToFollow ( int numRedirects )

Specify the number of redirects to be followed.

Returns a reference to itself so that several methods can be chained.

Parameters

numRedirects specifies the number of redirects that will be followed before returning a response (ignored for Android which follows up to 5 redirects)

◆ getRequestHeaders()

StringPairArray WebInputStream::getRequestHeaders ( ) const

Returns a string array pair of the request headers.

◆ getResponseHeaders()

StringPairArray WebInputStream::getResponseHeaders ( )

Returns a string array pair of response headers.

If getResponseHeaders is called without an established connection, then getResponseHeaders will call connect internally and block until connect returns - either due to a successful connection or a connection error.

See also: connect

◆ getStatusCode()

int WebInputStream::getStatusCode ( )

Returns the status code returned by the http server.

If getStatusCode is called without an established connection, then getStatusCode will call connect internally and block until connect returns - either due to a successful connection or a connection error.

See also: connect

◆ connect()

bool WebInputStream::connect ( Listener * listener )

Wait until the first byte is ready for reading.

This method will attempt to connect to the url given in the constructor and block until the status code and all response headers have been received or an error has occurred.

Note that most methods will call connect internally if they are called without an established connection. Therefore, it is not necessary to explicitly call connect unless you would like to use a custom listener.

After a successful call to connect, getResponseHeaders, getTotalLength and getStatusCode will all be non-blocking.

Parameters

listener A listener to receive progress callbacks on the status of a POST data upload.

See also: getResponseHeaders, getTotalLength, getStatusCode

◆ isError()

bool WebInputStream::isError ( ) const

Returns true if there was an error during the connection attempt.

◆ cancel()

void WebInputStream::cancel ( )

Will cancel a blocking read and prevent any subsequent connection attempts.

◆ getTotalLength()

int64 WebInputStream::getTotalLength ( )

overridevirtual

Returns the total number of bytes available for reading in this stream.

Note that this is the number of bytes available from the start of the stream, not from the current position.

If getTotalLength is called without an established connection, then getTotalLength will call connect internally and block until connect returns - either due to a successful connection or a connection error.

If the size of the stream isn't actually known, this will return -1.

Implements InputStream.

◆ read()

int WebInputStream::read	(	void *	destBuffer,
		int	maxBytesToRead
	)

overridevirtual

Reads some data from the stream into a memory buffer.

This method will block until the bytesToRead bytes are available.

This method calls connect internally if the connection hasn't already been established.

Parameters

destBuffer	the destination buffer for the data. This must not be null.
maxBytesToRead	the maximum number of bytes to read - make sure the memory block passed in is big enough to contain this many bytes. This value must not be negative.

Returns: the actual number of bytes that were read, which may be less than maxBytesToRead if the stream is exhausted before it gets that far

Implements InputStream.

◆ isExhausted()

bool WebInputStream::isExhausted ( )

overridevirtual

Returns true if the stream has no more data to read.

Implements InputStream.

◆ getPosition()

int64 WebInputStream::getPosition ( )

overridevirtual

Returns the offset of the next byte that will be read from the stream.

See also: setPosition

Implements InputStream.

◆ setPosition()

bool WebInputStream::setPosition ( int64 wantedPos )

overridevirtual

Tries to move the current read position of the stream.

The position is an absolute number of bytes from the stream's start.

For a WebInputStream, this method will fail if wantedPos is smaller than the current position. If wantedPos is greater than the current position, then calling setPosition is the same as calling read, i.e. the skipped data will still be downloaded, although skipped bytes will be discarded immediately.

Returns: true if the stream manages to reposition itself correctly
