/** * @file HttpUtil.java * * @brief * HttpUtil is a single class containing methods to conveniently perform HTTP * requests. HttpUtil only uses regular java io and net functionality and does * not depend on external libraries. * The class contains methods to perform a get, post, put, and delete request, * and supports posting forms. Optionally, one can provide headers. * * Example usage: * * // get * String res = HttpUtil.get("http://www.google.com"); * * // post * String res = HttpUtil.post("http://sendmedata.com", "This is the data"); * * // post form * Map params = new HashMap(); * params.put("firstname", "Joe"); * params.put("lastname", "Smith"); * params.put("age", "28"); * String res = HttpUtil.postForm("http://site.com/newuser", params); * * // append query parameters to url * String url = "http://mydatabase.com/users"; * Map params = new HashMap(); * params.put("orderby", "name"); * params.put("limit", "10"); * String fullUrl = HttpUtil.appendQueryParams(url, params); * // fullUrl = "http://mydatabase.com/user?orderby=name&limit=10" * * @license * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not * use this file except in compliance with the License.
