HttpsURLConnection

abstract class HttpsURLConnection : HttpURLConnection

HttpsURLConnection extends HttpURLConnection with support for https-specific features.

See http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Protocols/ and RFC 2818 for more details on the https specification.

This class uses HostnameVerifier and SSLSocketFactory. There are default implementations defined for both classes. However, the implementations can be replaced on a per-class (static) or per-instance basis. All new HttpsURLConnections instances will be assigned the "default" static values at instance creation, but they can be overriden by calling the appropriate per-instance set method(s) before connecting.

Inherited functions
Unit addRequestProperty(key: String!, value: String!)

Adds a general request property specified by a key-value pair. This method will not overwrite existing values associated with the same key.

Unit connect()

Opens a communications link to the resource referenced by this URL, if such a connection has not already been established.

If the connect method is called when the connection has already been opened (indicated by the connected field having the value true), the call is ignored.

URLConnection objects go through two phases: first they are created, then they are connected. After being created, and before being connected, various options can be specified (e.g., doInput and UseCaches). After connecting, it is an error to try to set them. Operations that depend on being connected, like getContentLength, will implicitly perform the connection, if necessary.

Boolean getAllowUserInteraction()

Returns the value of the allowUserInteraction field for this object.

Int getConnectTimeout()

Returns setting for connect timeout.

0 return implies that the option is disabled (i.e., timeout of infinity).

Any! getContent()

Retrieves the contents of this URL connection.

This method first determines the content type of the object by calling the getContentType method. If this is the first time that the application has seen that specific content type, a content handler for that content type is created:

  1. If the application has set up a content handler factory instance using the setContentHandlerFactory method, the createContentHandler method of that instance is called with the content type as an argument; the result is a content handler for that content type.
  2. If no content handler factory has yet been set up, or if the factory's createContentHandler method returns null, then the application loads the class named:
    sun.net.www.content.<<i>contentType</i>>
          
    where <contentType> is formed by taking the content-type string, replacing all slash characters with a period ('.'), and all other non-alphanumeric characters with the underscore character '_'. The alphanumeric characters are specifically the 26 uppercase ASCII letters 'A' through 'Z', the 26 lowercase ASCII letters 'a' through 'z', and the 10 ASCII digits '0' through '9'. If the specified class does not exist, or is not a subclass of ContentHandler, then an UnknownServiceException is thrown.

Any! getContent(classes: Array<Class<Any!>!>!)

Retrieves the contents of this URL connection.

String! getContentEncoding()

Returns the value of the content-encoding header field.

Int getContentLength()

Returns the value of the content-length header field.

Note: getContentLengthLong() should be preferred over this method, since it returns a long instead and is therefore more portable.

Long getContentLengthLong()

Returns the value of the content-length header field as a long.

String! getContentType()

Returns the value of the content-type header field.

Long getDate()

Returns the value of the date header field.

Boolean getDefaultAllowUserInteraction()

Returns the default value of the allowUserInteraction field.

Ths default is "sticky", being a part of the static state of all URLConnections. This flag applies to the next, and all following URLConnections that are created.

String! getDefaultRequestProperty(key: String!)

Returns the value of the default request property. Default request properties are set for every connection.

Boolean getDefaultUseCaches()

Returns the default value of a URLConnection's useCaches flag.

Ths default is "sticky", being a part of the static state of all URLConnections. This flag applies to the next, and all following URLConnections that are created.

Boolean getDoInput()

Returns the value of this URLConnection's doInput flag.

Boolean getDoOutput()

Returns the value of this URLConnection's doOutput flag.

Long getExpiration()

Returns the value of the expires header field.

FileNameMap! getFileNameMap()

Returns a FileNameMap implementation suitable for guessing a content type based on a URL's "file" component.

String! getHeaderField(name: String!)

Returns the value of the named header field.

If called on a connection that sets the same header multiple times with possibly different values, only the last value is returned.

Int getHeaderFieldInt(name: String!, Default: Int)

Returns the value of the named field parsed as a number.

This form of getHeaderField exists because some connection types (e.g., http-ng) have pre-parsed headers. Classes for that connection type can override this method and short-circuit the parsing.

Long getHeaderFieldLong(name: String!, Default: Long)

Returns the value of the named field parsed as a number.

This form of getHeaderField exists because some connection types (e.g., http-ng) have pre-parsed headers. Classes for that connection type can override this method and short-circuit the parsing.

MutableMap<String!, MutableList<String!>!>! getHeaderFields()

Returns an unmodifiable Map of the header fields. The Map keys are Strings that represent the response-header field names. Each Map value is an unmodifiable List of Strings that represents the corresponding field values.

Long getIfModifiedSince()

Returns the value of this object's ifModifiedSince field.

InputStream! getInputStream()

Returns an input stream that reads from this open connection. A SocketTimeoutException can be thrown when reading from the returned input stream if the read timeout expires before data is available for read.

Long getLastModified()

Returns the value of the last-modified header field. The result is the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 GMT.

OutputStream! getOutputStream()

Returns an output stream that writes to this connection.

Int getReadTimeout()

Returns setting for read timeout. 0 return implies that the option is disabled (i.e., timeout of infinity).

MutableMap<String!, MutableList<String!>!>! getRequestProperties()

Returns an unmodifiable Map of general request properties for this connection. The Map keys are Strings that represent the request-header field names. Each Map value is a unmodifiable List of Strings that represents the corresponding field values.

String! getRequestProperty(key: String!)

Returns the value of the named general request property for this connection.

URL! getURL()

Returns the value of this URLConnection's URL field.

Boolean getUseCaches()

Returns the value of this URLConnection's useCaches field.

String! guessContentTypeFromName(fname: String!)

Tries to determine the content type of an object, based on the specified "file" component of a URL. This is a convenience method that can be used by subclasses that override the getContentType method.

String! guessContentTypeFromStream(is: InputStream!)

Tries to determine the type of an input stream based on the characters at the beginning of the input stream. This method can be used by subclasses that override the getContentType method.

Ideally, this routine would not be needed. But many http servers return the incorrect content type; in addition, there are many nonstandard extensions. Direct inspection of the bytes to determine the content type is often more accurate than believing the content type claimed by the http server.

Unit setAllowUserInteraction(allowuserinteraction: Boolean)

Set the value of the allowUserInteraction field of this URLConnection.

Unit setConnectTimeout(timeout: Int)

Sets a specified timeout value, in milliseconds, to be used when opening a communications link to the resource referenced by this URLConnection. If the timeout expires before the connection can be established, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.

Some non-standard implementation of this method may ignore the specified timeout. To see the connect timeout set, please call getConnectTimeout().

Warning: If the hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses, Android's default implementation of HttpURLConnection will try each in RFC 3484 order. If connecting to each of these addresses fails, multiple timeouts will elapse before the connect attempt throws an exception. Host names that support both IPv6 and IPv4 always have at least 2 IP addresses.

Unit setContentHandlerFactory(fac: ContentHandlerFactory!)

Sets the ContentHandlerFactory of an application. It can be called at most once by an application.

The ContentHandlerFactory instance is used to construct a content handler from a content type

If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's checkSetFactory method to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.

Unit setDefaultAllowUserInteraction(defaultallowuserinteraction: Boolean)

Sets the default value of the allowUserInteraction field for all future URLConnection objects to the specified value.

Unit setDefaultRequestProperty(key: String!, value: String!)

Sets the default value of a general request property. When a URLConnection is created, it is initialized with these properties.

Unit setDefaultUseCaches(defaultusecaches: Boolean)

Sets the default value of the useCaches field to the specified value.

Unit setDoInput(doinput: Boolean)

Sets the value of the doInput field for this URLConnection to the specified value.

A URL connection can be used for input and/or output. Set the DoInput flag to true if you intend to use the URL connection for input, false if not. The default is true.

Unit setDoOutput(dooutput: Boolean)

Sets the value of the doOutput field for this URLConnection to the specified value.

A URL connection can be used for input and/or output. Set the DoOutput flag to true if you intend to use the URL connection for output, false if not. The default is false.

Unit setFileNameMap(map: FileNameMap!)

Sets the FileNameMap.

If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's checkSetFactory method to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.

Unit setIfModifiedSince(ifmodifiedsince: Long)

Sets the value of the ifModifiedSince field of this URLConnection to the specified value.

Unit setReadTimeout(timeout: Int)

Sets the read timeout to a specified timeout, in milliseconds. A non-zero value specifies the timeout when reading from Input stream when a connection is established to a resource. If the timeout expires before there is data available for read, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.

Some non-standard implementation of this method ignores the specified timeout. To see the read timeout set, please call getReadTimeout().

Unit setRequestProperty(key: String!, value: String!)

Sets the general request property. If a property with the key already exists, overwrite its value with the new value.

NOTE: HTTP requires all request properties which can legally have multiple instances with the same key to use a comma-separated list syntax which enables multiple properties to be appended into a single property.

Unit setUseCaches(usecaches: Boolean)

Sets the value of the useCaches field of this URLConnection to the specified value.

Some protocols do caching of documents. Occasionally, it is important to be able to "tunnel through" and ignore the caches (e.g., the "reload" button in a browser). If the UseCaches flag on a connection is true, the connection is allowed to use whatever caches it can. If false, caches are to be ignored. The default value comes from DefaultUseCaches, which defaults to true.

String toString()

Returns a String representation of this URL connection.

Unit disconnect()

Indicates that other requests to the server are unlikely in the near future. Calling disconnect() should not imply that this HttpURLConnection instance can be reused for other requests.

InputStream! getErrorStream()

Returns the error stream if the connection failed but the server sent useful data nonetheless. The typical example is when an HTTP server responds with a 404, which will cause a FileNotFoundException to be thrown in connect, but the server sent an HTML help page with suggestions as to what to do.

This method will not cause a connection to be initiated. If the connection was not connected, or if the server did not have an error while connecting or if the server had an error but no error data was sent, this method will return null. This is the default.

Boolean getFollowRedirects()

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not HTTP redirects (3xx) should be automatically followed.

String! getHeaderField(n: Int)

Returns the value for the nth header field. Some implementations may treat the 0th header field as special, i.e. as the status line returned by the HTTP server.

This method can be used in conjunction with the getHeaderFieldKey method to iterate through all the headers in the message.

Long getHeaderFieldDate(name: String!, Default: Long)

String! getHeaderFieldKey(n: Int)

Returns the key for the nth header field. Some implementations may treat the 0th header field as special, i.e. as the status line returned by the HTTP server. In this case, getHeaderField(0) returns the status line, but getHeaderFieldKey(0) returns null.

Boolean getInstanceFollowRedirects()

Returns the value of this HttpURLConnection's instanceFollowRedirects field.

Permission! getPermission()

Returns a SocketPermission object representing the permission necessary to connect to the destination host and port.

String! getRequestMethod()

Get the request method.

Int getResponseCode()

Gets the status code from an HTTP response message. For example, in the case of the following status lines:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
  HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
  
It will return 200 and 401 respectively. Returns -1 if no code can be discerned from the response (i.e., the response is not valid HTTP).

String! getResponseMessage()

Gets the HTTP response message, if any, returned along with the response code from a server. From responses like:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
  HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found
  
Extracts the Strings "OK" and "Not Found" respectively. Returns null if none could be discerned from the responses (the result was not valid HTTP).

Unit setChunkedStreamingMode(chunklen: Int)

This method is used to enable streaming of a HTTP request body without internal buffering, when the content length is not known in advance. In this mode, chunked transfer encoding is used to send the request body. Note, not all HTTP servers support this mode.

When output streaming is enabled, authentication and redirection cannot be handled automatically. A HttpRetryException will be thrown when reading the response if authentication or redirection are required. This exception can be queried for the details of the error.

This method must be called before the URLConnection is connected.

Unit setFixedLengthStreamingMode(contentLength: Int)

This method is used to enable streaming of a HTTP request body without internal buffering, when the content length is known in advance.

An exception will be thrown if the application attempts to write more data than the indicated content-length, or if the application closes the OutputStream before writing the indicated amount.

When output streaming is enabled, authentication and redirection cannot be handled automatically. A HttpRetryException will be thrown when reading the response if authentication or redirection are required. This exception can be queried for the details of the error.

This method must be called before the URLConnection is connected.

NOTE: setFixedLengthStreamingMode(long) is recommended instead of this method as it allows larger content lengths to be set.

Unit setFixedLengthStreamingMode(contentLength: Long)

This method is used to enable streaming of a HTTP request body without internal buffering, when the content length is known in advance.

An exception will be thrown if the application attempts to write more data than the indicated content-length, or if the application closes the OutputStream before writing the indicated amount.

When output streaming is enabled, authentication and redirection cannot be handled automatically. A HttpRetryException will be thrown when reading the response if authentication or redirection are required. This exception can be queried for the details of the error.

This method must be called before the URLConnection is connected.

The content length set by invoking this method takes precedence over any value set by setFixedLengthStreamingMode(int).

Unit setFollowRedirects(set: Boolean)

Sets whether HTTP redirects (requests with response code 3xx) should be automatically followed by this class. True by default. Applets cannot change this variable.

If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's checkSetFactory method to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.

Unit setInstanceFollowRedirects(followRedirects: Boolean)

Sets whether HTTP redirects (requests with response code 3xx) should be automatically followed by this HttpURLConnection instance.

The default value comes from followRedirects, which defaults to true.

Unit setRequestMethod(method: String!)

Set the method for the URL request, one of:

  • GET
  • POST
  • HEAD
  • OPTIONS
  • PUT
  • DELETE
  • TRACE
are legal, subject to protocol restrictions. The default method is GET.

Boolean usingProxy()

Indicates if the connection is going through a proxy.

Properties
HostnameVerifier!

The hostnameVerifier for this object.

Inherited properties
Boolean allowUserInteraction

If true, this URL is being examined in a context in which it makes sense to allow user interactions such as popping up an authentication dialog. If false, then no user interaction is allowed.

The value of this field can be set by the setAllowUserInteraction method. Its value is returned by the getAllowUserInteraction method. Its default value is the value of the argument in the last invocation of the setDefaultAllowUserInteraction method.

Boolean connected

If false, this connection object has not created a communications link to the specified URL. If true, the communications link has been established.

Boolean doInput

This variable is set by the setDoInput method. Its value is returned by the getDoInput method.

A URL connection can be used for input and/or output. Setting the doInput flag to true indicates that the application intends to read data from the URL connection.

The default value of this field is true.

Boolean doOutput

This variable is set by the setDoOutput method. Its value is returned by the getDoOutput method.

A URL connection can be used for input and/or output. Setting the doOutput flag to true indicates that the application intends to write data to the URL connection.

The default value of this field is false.

Long ifModifiedSince

Some protocols support skipping the fetching of the object unless the object has been modified more recently than a certain time.

A nonzero value gives a time as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, GMT. The object is fetched only if it has been modified more recently than that time.

This variable is set by the setIfModifiedSince method. Its value is returned by the getIfModifiedSince method.

The default value of this field is 0, indicating that the fetching must always occur.

URL! url

The URL represents the remote object on the World Wide Web to which this connection is opened.

The value of this field can be accessed by the getURL method.

The default value of this variable is the value of the URL argument in the URLConnection constructor.

Boolean useCaches

If true, the protocol is allowed to use caching whenever it can. If false, the protocol must always try to get a fresh copy of the object.

This field is set by the setUseCaches method. Its value is returned by the getUseCaches method.

Its default value is the value given in the last invocation of the setDefaultUseCaches method.

Int chunkLength

The chunk-length when using chunked encoding streaming mode for output. A value of -1 means chunked encoding is disabled for output.

Int fixedContentLength

The fixed content-length when using fixed-length streaming mode. A value of -1 means fixed-length streaming mode is disabled for output.

NOTE: fixedContentLengthLong is recommended instead of this field, as it allows larger content lengths to be set.

Long fixedContentLengthLong

The fixed content-length when using fixed-length streaming mode. A value of -1 means fixed-length streaming mode is disabled for output.

Boolean instanceFollowRedirects

If true, the protocol will automatically follow redirects. If false, the protocol will not automatically follow redirects.

This field is set by the setInstanceFollowRedirects method. Its value is returned by the getInstanceFollowRedirects method.

Its default value is based on the value of the static followRedirects at HttpURLConnection construction time.

String! method

The HTTP method (GET,POST,PUT,etc.).

Int responseCode

An int representing the three digit HTTP Status-Code.

  • 1xx: Informational
  • 2xx: Success
  • 3xx: Redirection
  • 4xx: Client Error
  • 5xx: Server Error

getLocalCertificates

Added in API level 1
abstract fun getLocalCertificates(): Array<Certificate!>!

Returns the certificate(s) that were sent to the server during handshaking.

Note: This method is useful only when using certificate-based cipher suites.

When multiple certificates are available for use in a handshake, the implementation chooses what it considers the "best" certificate chain available, and transmits that to the other side. This method allows the caller to know which certificate chain was actually sent.

Return
Array<Certificate!>! an ordered array of certificates, with the client's own certificate first followed by any certificate authorities. If no certificates were sent, then null is returned.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalStateException if this method is called before the connection has been established.

getLocalPrincipal

Added in API level 1
open fun getLocalPrincipal(): Principal!

Returns the principal that was sent to the server during handshaking.

Note: Subclasses should override this method. If not overridden, it will default to returning the X500Principal of the end-entity certificate that was sent to the server for certificate-based ciphersuites or, return null for non-certificate based ciphersuites, such as Kerberos.

Return
Principal! the principal sent to the server. Returns an X500Principal of the end-entity certificate for X509-based cipher suites, and KerberosPrincipal for Kerberos cipher suites. If no principal was sent, then null is returned.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalStateException if this method is called before the connection has been established.

getPeerPrincipal

Return
SSLSocketFactory! the SSLSocketFactory

getServerCertificates

Added in API level 1
abstract fun getServerCertificates(): Array<Certificate!>!

Returns the server's certificate chain which was established as part of defining the session.

Note: This method can be used only when using certificate-based cipher suites; using it with non-certificate-based cipher suites, such as Kerberos, will throw an SSLPeerUnverifiedException.

Return
Array<Certificate!>! an ordered array of server certificates, with the peer's own certificate first followed by any certificate authorities.
Exceptions
javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException if the peer is not verified.
java.lang.IllegalStateException if this method is called before the connection has been established.

setDefaultHostnameVerifier

Added in API level 1
open static fun setDefaultHostnameVerifier(v: HostnameVerifier!): Unit

Sets the default HostnameVerifier inherited by a new instance of this class.

Developers are strongly discouraged from changing the default HostnameVerifier as getDefaultHostnameVerifier() is used by several classes for hostname verification on Android.

User Effect
Android's default TrustManager, as used with Android's default SSLContext, SSLSocketFactory and SSLSocket implementations. The HostnameVerifier is used to verify the peer's certificate hostname after connecting if SSLParameters.setEndpointIdentificationAlgorithm("HTTPS") has been called. Instances use the current default HostnameVerifier at verification time.
android.net.SSLCertificateSocketFactory The current default HostnameVerifier is used from various createSocket methods. See android.net.SSLCertificateSocketFactory for details; for example android.net.SSLCertificateSocketFactory#createSocket(String, int).
Android's default HttpsURLConnection implementation. The HostnameVerifier is used after a successful TLS handshake to verify the URI host against the TLS session server. Instances use the default HostnameVerifier set when they were created unless overridden with setHostnameVerifier(javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier). Android's HttpsURLConnection relies on the HostnameVerifier for the entire hostname verification step.

If this method is not called, the default HostnameVerifier will check the hostname according to RFC 2818.

Parameters
v HostnameVerifier!: the default host name verifier
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the HostnameVerifier parameter is null.
java.lang.SecurityException if a security manager exists and its checkPermission method does not allow SSLPermission("setHostnameVerifier")

setDefaultSSLSocketFactory

Added in API level 1
open static fun setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sf: SSLSocketFactory!): Unit

Sets the default SSLSocketFactory inherited by new instances of this class.

The socket factories are used when creating sockets for secure https URL connections.

Parameters
sf SSLSocketFactory!: the default SSL socket factory
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the SSLSocketFactory parameter is null.
java.lang.SecurityException if a security manager exists and its checkSetFactory method does not allow a socket factory to be specified.

setHostnameVerifier

Added in API level 1
open fun setHostnameVerifier(v: HostnameVerifier!): Unit

Sets the HostnameVerifier for this instance.

New instances of this class inherit the default static hostname verifier set by setDefaultHostnameVerifier. Calls to this method replace this object's HostnameVerifier.

Android's HttpsURLConnection relies on the HostnameVerifier for the entire hostname verification step.

Parameters
v HostnameVerifier!: the host name verifier
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the HostnameVerifier parameter is null.

setSSLSocketFactory

Added in API level 1
open fun setSSLSocketFactory(sf: SSLSocketFactory!): Unit

Sets the SSLSocketFactory to be used when this instance creates sockets for secure https URL connections.

New instances of this class inherit the default static SSLSocketFactory set by setDefaultSSLSocketFactory. Calls to this method replace this object's SSLSocketFactory.

Parameters
sf SSLSocketFactory!: the SSL socket factory
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the SSLSocketFactory parameter is null.
java.lang.SecurityException if a security manager exists and its checkSetFactory method does not allow a socket factory to be specified.

Properties
