Public constructors

Builder

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

Builder(context: Context)

Constructs a Builder object that facilitates creating a HttpEngine. The default configuration enables HTTP/2 and QUIC, but disables the HTTP cache.

Parameters
`context`	Context: Android `Context`, which is used by `Builder` to retrieve the application context. A reference to only the application context will be kept, so as to avoid extending the lifetime of `context` unnecessarily. This value cannot be `null`.

Public methods

addPublicKeyPins

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun addPublicKeyPins(
    hostName: String, 
    pinsSha256: MutableSet<ByteArray!>, 
    includeSubdomains: Boolean, 
    expirationInstant: Instant
): HttpEngine.Builder

Pins a set of public keys for a given host. By pinning a set of public keys, pinsSha256, communication with hostName is required to authenticate with a certificate with a public key from the set of pinned ones. An app can pin the public key of the root certificate, any of the intermediate certificates or the end-entry certificate. Authentication will fail and secure communication will not be established if none of the public keys is present in the host's certificate chain, even if the host attempts to authenticate with a certificate allowed by the device's trusted store of certificates.

Calling this method multiple times with the same host name overrides the previously set pins for the host.

More information about the public key pinning can be found in RFC 7469.

Parameters
`hostName`	String: name of the host to which the public keys should be pinned. A host that consists only of digits and the dot character is treated as invalid. This value cannot be `null`.
`pinsSha256`	MutableSet<ByteArray!>: a set of pins. Each pin is the SHA-256 cryptographic hash of the DER-encoded ASN.1 representation of the Subject Public Key Info (SPKI) of the host's X.509 certificate. Use `Certificate.getPublicKey()` and `Key.getEncoded()` to obtain DER-encoded ASN.1 representation of the SPKI. Although, the method does not mandate the presence of the backup pin that can be used if the control of the primary private key has been lost, it is highly recommended to supply one. This value cannot be `null`.
`includeSubdomains`	Boolean: indicates whether the pinning policy should be applied to subdomains of `hostName`.
`expirationInstant`	Instant: specifies the expiration instant for the pins. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

Exceptions
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if any of the input parameters are `null`.
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the given host name is invalid or `pinsSha256` contains a byte array that does not represent a valid SHA-256 hash.

addQuicHint

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun addQuicHint(
    host: String, 
    port: Int, 
    alternatePort: Int
): HttpEngine.Builder

Adds hint that host supports QUIC. Note that enableHttpCache (HTTP_CACHE_DISK) is needed to take advantage of 0-RTT connection establishment between sessions.

Parameters
`host`	String: hostname of the server that supports QUIC. This value cannot be `null`.
`port`	Int: host of the server that supports QUIC.
`alternatePort`	Int: alternate port to use for QUIC.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

build

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun build(): HttpEngine

Build a HttpEngine using this builder's configuration.

Return
`HttpEngine`	constructed `HttpEngine`. This value cannot be `null`.

getDefaultUserAgent

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun getDefaultUserAgent(): String

Constructs a default User-Agent string including the system build version, model and id, and the HTTP stack version.

Return
`String`	User-Agent string. This value cannot be `null`.

setConnectionMigrationOptions

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun setConnectionMigrationOptions(connectionMigrationOptions: ConnectionMigrationOptions): HttpEngine.Builder

Configures the behavior of connection migration. For more details, see documentation of ConnectionMigrationOptions and the individual methods of ConnectionMigrationOptions.Builder.

Only relevant if setEnableQuic(boolean) is enabled.

Parameters
`connectionMigrationOptions`	ConnectionMigrationOptions: This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

setDnsOptions

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun setDnsOptions(dnsOptions: DnsOptions): HttpEngine.Builder

Configures the behavior of hostname lookup. For more details, see documentation of DnsOptions and the individual methods of DnsOptions.Builder.

Only relevant if setEnableQuic(boolean) is enabled.

Parameters
`dnsOptions`	DnsOptions: This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

setEnableBrotli

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun setEnableBrotli(value: Boolean): HttpEngine.Builder

Sets whether Brotli compression is enabled. If enabled, Brotli will be advertised in Accept-Encoding request headers. Defaults to disabled.

Parameters
`value`	Boolean: `true` to enable Brotli, `false` to disable.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

setEnableHttp2

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun setEnableHttp2(value: Boolean): HttpEngine.Builder

Sets whether HTTP/2 protocol is enabled. Defaults to enabled.

Parameters
`value`	Boolean: `true` to enable HTTP/2, `false` to disable.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

setEnableHttpCache

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun setEnableHttpCache(
    cacheMode: Int, 
    maxSize: Long
): HttpEngine.Builder

Enables or disables caching of HTTP data and other information like QUIC server information.

Parameters
`cacheMode`	Int: control location and type of cached data. Must be one of `HTTP_CACHE_*`.
`maxSize`	Long: maximum size in bytes used to cache data (advisory and maybe exceeded at times).

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

setEnablePublicKeyPinningBypassForLocalTrustAnchors

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun setEnablePublicKeyPinningBypassForLocalTrustAnchors(value: Boolean): HttpEngine.Builder

Enables or disables public key pinning bypass for local trust anchors. Disabling the bypass for local trust anchors is highly discouraged since it may prohibit the app from communicating with the pinned hosts. E.g., a user may want to send all traffic through an SSL enabled proxy by changing the device proxy settings and adding the proxy certificate to the list of local trust anchor. Disabling the bypass will most likely prevent the app from sending any traffic to the pinned hosts. For more information see 'How does key pinning interact with local proxies and filters?' at https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/security-faq

Parameters
`value`	Boolean: `true` to enable the bypass, `false` to disable.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

Also in S Extensions 7

open fun setEnableQuic(value: Boolean): HttpEngine.Builder

Sets whether QUIC protocol is enabled. Defaults to enabled.

Parameters
`value`	Boolean: `true` to enable QUIC, `false` to disable.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

setQuicOptions

Added in API level 34
Also in S Extensions 7

open fun setQuicOptions(quicOptions: QuicOptions): HttpEngine.Builder

Configures the behavior of the HTTP stack when using QUIC. For more details, see documentation of QuicOptions and the individual methods of QuicOptions.Builder.

Only relevant if setEnableQuic(boolean) is enabled.

Parameters
`quicOptions`	QuicOptions: This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

Parameters
`value`	String: path to existing directory. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`HttpEngine.Builder`	the builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be `null`.

setUserAgent

Added in API level 34
