public abstract class URLConnection extends Object
The abstract classURLConnection
is the superclass of all classes that represent a communications link between the application and a URL. Instances of this class can be used both to read from and to write to the resource referenced by the URL. In general, creating a connection to a URL is a multistep process:openConnection()
connect()
Manipulate parameters that affect the connection to the remote resource. Interact with the resource; query header fields and contents.
time- The connection object is created by invoking the
openConnection
method on a URL. - The setup parameters and general request properties are manipulated.
- The actual connection to the remote object is made, using the
connect
method. - The remote object becomes available. The header fields and the contents of the remote object can be accessed.
The setup parameters are modified using the following methods:
setAllowUserInteraction
setDoInput
setDoOutput
setIfModifiedSince
setUseCaches
and the general request properties are modified using the method:
setRequestProperty
Default values for the
AllowUserInteraction
andUseCaches
parameters can be set using the methodssetDefaultAllowUserInteraction
andsetDefaultUseCaches
.Each of the above
set
methods has a correspondingget
method to retrieve the value of the parameter or general request property. The specific parameters and general request properties that are applicable are protocol specific.The following methods are used to access the header fields and the contents after the connection is made to the remote object:
getContent
getHeaderField
getInputStream
getOutputStream
Certain header fields are accessed frequently. The methods:
getContentEncoding
getContentLength
getContentType
getDate
getExpiration
getLastModifed
provide convenient access to these fields. The
getContentType
method is used by thegetContent
method to determine the type of the remote object; subclasses may find it convenient to override thegetContentType
method.In the common case, all of the pre-connection parameters and general request properties can be ignored: the pre-connection parameters and request properties default to sensible values. For most clients of this interface, there are only two interesting methods:
getInputStream
andgetContent
, which are mirrored in theURL
class by convenience methods.More information on the request properties and header fields of an
http
connection can be found at:
Note abouthttp://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt
fileNameMap
: In versions prior to JDK 1.1.6, fieldfileNameMap
ofURLConnection
was public. In JDK 1.1.6 and later,fileNameMap
is private; accessor and mutator methodsgetFileNameMap
andsetFileNameMap
are added to access it. This change is also described on the Compatibility page. Invoking the close() methods on the InputStream or OutputStream of an URLConnection after a request may free network resources associated with this instance, unless particular protocol specifications specify different behaviours for it.- Since:

getFileNameMap
public static FileNameMap getFileNameMap()
Loads filename map (a mimetable) from a data file. It will first try to load the user-specific table, defined by "content.types.user.table" property. If that fails, it tries to load the default built-in table at lib/content-types.properties under java home.- Returns:
- the FileNameMap
- Since:
- 1.2
- See Also:
setFileNameMap(java.net.FileNameMap)
-
setFileNameMap
public static void setFileNameMap(FileNameMap map)
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.- Parameters:
map
- the FileNameMap to be set- Throws:
SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and itscheckSetFactory
method doesn't allow the operation.- Since:

connect
public abstract void connect() throws IOException
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 theconnected
field having the valuetrue
), 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.
- Throws:
SocketTimeoutException
- if the timeout expires before the connection can be establishedIOException
- if an I/O error occurs while opening the connection.- See Also:
connected
,getConnectTimeout()
,setConnectTimeout(int)

setConnectTimeout
public void setConnectTimeout(int timeout)
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 implmentation of this method may ignore the specified timeout. To see the connect timeout set, please call getConnectTimeout().
- Parameters:

getContent
public Object getContent() throws IOException
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:- If the application has set up a content handler factory instance
using the
setContentHandlerFactory
method, thecreateContentHandler
method of that instance is called with the content type as an argument; the result is a content handler for that content type. - If no content handler factory has yet been set up, or if the
factory's
createContentHandler
method returnsnull
, then the application loads the class named:
where <contentType> is formed by taking the content-type string, replacing all slash characters with asun.net.www.content.<contentType>
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 ofContentHandler
, then anUnknownServiceException
is thrown.
- Returns:
- the object fetched. The
instanceof
operator should be used to determine the specific kind of object returned. - Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs while getting the content.UnknownServiceException
- if the protocol does not support the content type.- See Also:

getContent()
,ContentHandlerFactory.createContentHandler(java.lang.String)
,getContent(java.lang.Class[])
,setContentHandlerFactory(java.net.ContentHandlerFactory)
-
getPermission
public Permission getPermission() throws IOException
Returns a permission object representing the permission necessary to make the connection represented by this object. This method returns null if no permission is required to make the connection. By default, this method returnsjava.security.AllPermission
. Subclasses should override this method and return the permission that best represents the permission required to make a a connection to the URL. For example, aURLConnection
representing afile:
URL would return ajava.io.FilePermission
object.The permission returned may dependent upon the state of the connection. For example, the permission before connecting may be different from that after connecting. For example, an HTTP sever, say foo.com, may redirect the connection to a different host, say bar.com. Before connecting the permission returned by the connection will represent the permission needed to connect to foo.com, while the permission returned after connecting will be to bar.com.
Permissions are generally used for two purposes: to protect caches of objects obtained through URLConnections, and to check the right of a recipient to learn about a particular URL. In the first case, the permission should be obtained after the object has been obtained. For example, in an HTTP connection, this will represent the permission to connect to the host from which the data was ultimately fetched. In the second case, the permission should be obtained and tested before connecting.
- Returns:
- the permission object representing the permission necessary to make the connection represented by this URLConnection.
- Throws:
IOException
- if the computation of the permission requires network or file I/O and an exception occurs while computing it.
-

'suseCaches
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.
- Returns:
- the default value of a
URLConnection
'suseCaches
flag. - See Also:
setDefaultUseCaches(boolean)

setDefaultUseCaches
public void setDefaultUseCaches(boolean defaultusecaches)
Sets the default value of theuseCaches
field to the specified value.- Parameters:
defaultusecaches
- the new value.- See Also:
getDefaultUseCaches()
-
setRequestProperty
public void setRequestProperty(String key, String value)
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-seperated list syntax which enables multiple properties to be appended into a single property.
- Parameters:
key
- the keyword by which the request is known (e.g., "Accept
").value
- the value associated with it.- Throws:
IllegalStateException
- if already connectedNullPointerException
- if key isnull
- See Also:
getRequestProperty(java.lang.String)
-
addRequestProperty
public void addRequestProperty(String key, String value)
Adds a general request property specified by a key-value pair. This method will not overwrite existing values associated with the same key.- Parameters:
key
- the keyword by which the request is known (e.g., "Accept
").value
- the value associated with it.- Throws:
IllegalStateException
- if already connectedNullPointerException
- if key is null- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
getRequestProperties()
-
getRequestProperty
public String getRequestProperty(String key)
Returns the value of the named general request property for this connection.- Parameters:
key
- the keyword by which the request is known (e.g., "Accept").- Returns:
- the value of the named general request property for this connection. If key is null, then null is returned.
- Throws:
IllegalStateException
- if already connected- See Also:
setRequestProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
-
getRequestProperties
public Map<String,List<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.- Returns:
- a Map of the general request properties for this connection.
- Throws:
IllegalStateException
- if already connected- Since:
- 1.4
-
setDefaultRequestProperty
@Deprecated public static void setDefaultRequestProperty(String key, String value)
Deprecated. The instance specific setRequestProperty method should be used after an appropriate instance of URLConnection is obtained. Invoking this method will have no effect.Sets the default value of a general request property. When aURLConnection
is created, it is initialized with these properties.- Parameters:
key
- the keyword by which the request is known (e.g., "Accept
").value
- the value associated with the key.- See Also:
setRequestProperty(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
,getDefaultRequestProperty(java.lang.String)
-
getDefaultRequestProperty
@Deprecated public static String getDefaultRequestProperty(String key)
Deprecated. The instance specific getRequestProperty method should be used after an appropriate instance of URLConnection is obtained.Returns the value of the default request property. Default request properties are set for every connection.- Parameters:
key
- the keyword by which the request is known (e.g., "Accept").- Returns:
- the value of the default request property for the specified key.
- See Also:

setContentHandlerFactory
public static void setContentHandlerFactory(ContentHandlerFactory fac)
Sets theContentHandlerFactory
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 typeIf 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.- Parameters:
fac
- the desired factory.- Throws:
Error
- if the factory has already been defined.SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and itscheckSetFactory
method doesn't allow the operation.- See Also:
ContentHandlerFactory
,getContent()
,SecurityManager.checkSetFactory()

guessContentTypeFromName
public static String guessContentTypeFromName(String fname)
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 thegetContentType
method.- Parameters:
fname
- a filename.- Returns:
- a guess as to what the content type of the object is, based upon its file name.
- See Also:
getContentType()
-
guessContentTypeFromStream
public static String guessContentTypeFromStream(InputStream is) throws IOException
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 thegetContentType
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 thehttp
server.- Parameters:
is
- an input stream that supports marks.- Returns:
- a guess at the content type, or
null
if none can be determined. - Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs while reading the input stream.- See Also:
InputStream.mark(int)
,InputStream.markSupported()
,getContentType()
