Response Class

Returns the url used to connect to the server. Note that this URL may differ from the one used to instantiate the Request object. This only occurs when the server returns a redirect code and the maximum number of redirects is greater than 0. See Request.setNumRedirects().

Returns key/value map representing all the HTTP headers returned from the server.

Returns an array of values associated with a given key found in the HTTP headers returned from the server.

Returns the value of a given key in the HTTP header. Returns null if the header is not found in the response.

Returns the HTTP status code extracted from the first line in the response header. If the client fails to connect to the server, a value of -1 is returned.

Returns the status message found in the first line in the response header.

Returns the name of the character encoding used in the body of this response as specified in the "Content-Type" header. For example, the following "Content-Type" header specifies "UTF-8" character encoding:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

This method returns a null if the response does not specify a character encoding.

Returns the body of the http response as an input stream. No distinction is made between "normal" responses (e.g. status code 200) and error responses (e.g. 404).

Sample Usage:

        java.io.InputStream inputStream = response.getInputStream();
        byte[] b = new byte[1024];
        int x=0;
        while ( (x = inputStream.read(b)) != -1) {
            //Do something! Example: outputStream.write(b,0,x);
        }
        inputStream.close();    

Used read through the entire response stream and cast it to a string. The string is encoded using the character set specified in the "Content-Type" header as returned by the getCharacterEncoding() method. Defaults to "UTF-8" if no character set is defined.

Used read through the entire response stream and cast it to a string. WARNING: This method will never throw an error.

Used read through the entire response stream and returns a JSON object

Used read through the entire response stream and returns a JSON array

Used read through the entire response stream and converts it to an xml DOM document.

Used read through the entire response stream and returns an Image.

Used read through the entire response stream and returns a raw byte array (ByteArrayOutputStream). Note that this method does not automatically decompress the response if the data is compressed. Use the Response.getBytes(true) method to automatically decompress the response.

Used read through the entire response stream and returns a byte array ByteArrayOutputStream.

Returns the raw response headers returned from the server. Use the getText() method to get response body as a String.
