Class ApacheHttpTransport

java.lang.Object

com.google.api.client.http.HttpTransport

com.google.api.client.http.apache.v2.ApacheHttpTransport

public final class ApacheHttpTransport
extends HttpTransport

Thread-safe HTTP transport based on the Apache HTTP Client library.

Implementation is thread-safe, as long as any parameter modification to the Apache HTTP Client is only done at initialization time. For maximum efficiency, applications should use a single globally-shared instance of the HTTP transport.

Default settings are specified in newDefaultHttpClient(). Use the ApacheHttpTransport(HttpClient) constructor to override the Apache HTTP Client used. Please read the Apache HTTP Client connection management tutorial for more complex configuration options.

Constructor Detail

ApacheHttpTransport

public ApacheHttpTransport()

Constructor that uses newDefaultHttpClient() for the Apache HTTP client.

Since:

1.30

ApacheHttpTransport

public ApacheHttpTransport(org.apache.http.client.HttpClient httpClient)

Constructor that allows an alternative Apache HTTP client to be used.

Note that in the previous version, we overrode several settings. However, we are no longer able to do so.

If you choose to provide your own Apache HttpClient implementation, be sure that

• HTTP version is set to 1.1.
• Redirects are disabled (google-http-client handles redirects).
• Retries are disabled (google-http-client handles retries).

Parameters:

httpClient - Apache HTTP client to use

Since:

1.30

ApacheHttpTransport

@Beta
public ApacheHttpTransport(org.apache.http.client.HttpClient httpClient,
                                 boolean isMtls)

Beta
Constructor that allows an alternative Apache HTTP client to be used.

Note that in the previous version, we overrode several settings. However, we are no longer able to do so.

If you choose to provide your own Apache HttpClient implementation, be sure that

• HTTP version is set to 1.1.
• Redirects are disabled (google-http-client handles redirects).
• Retries are disabled (google-http-client handles retries).

Parameters:

httpClient - Apache HTTP client to use

isMtls - If the HTTP client is mutual TLS

Method Detail

newDefaultHttpClient

public static org.apache.http.client.HttpClient newDefaultHttpClient()

Creates a new instance of the Apache HTTP client that is used by the ApacheHttpTransport() constructor.

Settings:

• The client connection manager is set to PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager.
• HttpClientBuilder.disableRedirectHandling().
• The route planner uses SystemDefaultRoutePlanner with ProxySelector.getDefault(), which uses the proxy settings from system properties.

Returns:

new instance of the Apache HTTP client

Since:

1.30

newDefaultHttpClientBuilder

public static org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder newDefaultHttpClientBuilder()

Creates a new Apache HTTP client builder that is used by the ApacheHttpTransport() constructor.

Settings:

• The client connection manager is set to PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager.
• HttpClientBuilder.disableRedirectHandling().
• The route planner uses SystemDefaultRoutePlanner with ProxySelector.getDefault(), which uses the proxy settings from system properties.

Returns:

new instance of the Apache HTTP client

Since:

1.31
