Class HttpObjectEncoder<H extends HttpMessage>

java.lang.Object

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerAdapter

io.netty.channel.ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter

io.netty.handler.codec.MessageToMessageEncoder<Object>

io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpObjectEncoder<H>

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelOutboundHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:

HttpRequestEncoder, HttpResponseEncoder, RtspEncoder, RtspObjectEncoder

public abstract class HttpObjectEncoder<H extends HttpMessage>
extends MessageToMessageEncoder<Object>

Encodes an HttpMessage or an HttpContent into a ByteBuf.

Extensibility

Please note that this encoder is designed to be extended to implement a protocol derived from HTTP, such as RTSP and ICAP. To implement the encoder of such a derived protocol, extend this class and implement all abstract methods properly.

Method Details

write

public void write(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
 Object msg,
 ChannelPromise promise)
           throws Exception

Description copied from class: ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter

Calls ChannelOutboundInvoker.write(Object, ChannelPromise) to forward to the next ChannelOutboundHandler in the ChannelPipeline. Sub-classes may override this method to change behavior.

Specified by:

write in interface ChannelOutboundHandler

Overrides:

write in class MessageToMessageEncoder<Object>

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext for which the write operation is made

msg - the message to write

promise - the ChannelPromise to notify once the operation completes

Throws:

Exception - thrown if an error occurs

encode

protected void encode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
 Object msg,
 List<Object> out)
               throws Exception

Description copied from class: MessageToMessageEncoder

Encode from one message to an other. This method will be called for each written message that can be handled by this encoder.

Specified by:

encode in class MessageToMessageEncoder<Object>

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this MessageToMessageEncoder belongs to

msg - the message to encode to an other one

out - the List into which the encoded msg should be added needs to do some kind of aggregation

Throws:

Exception - is thrown if an error occurs

encodeHeaders

protected void encodeHeaders(HttpHeaders headers,
 ByteBuf buf)

Encode the HttpHeaders into a ByteBuf.

sanitizeHeadersBeforeEncode

protected void sanitizeHeadersBeforeEncode(H msg,
 boolean isAlwaysEmpty)

Allows to sanitize headers of the message before encoding these.

isContentAlwaysEmpty

protected boolean isContentAlwaysEmpty(H msg)

Determine whether a message has a content or not. Some message may have headers indicating a content without having an actual content, e.g the response to an HEAD or CONNECT request.

Parameters:

msg - the message to test

Returns:

true to signal the message has no content

acceptOutboundMessage

public boolean acceptOutboundMessage(Object msg)
                              throws Exception

Description copied from class: MessageToMessageEncoder

Returns true if the given message should be handled. If false it will be passed to the next ChannelOutboundHandler in the ChannelPipeline.

Overrides:

acceptOutboundMessage in class MessageToMessageEncoder<Object>

Throws:

Exception

encodeAscii

@Deprecated
protected static void encodeAscii(String s,
 ByteBuf buf)

Deprecated.

encodeInitialLine

protected abstract void encodeInitialLine(ByteBuf buf,
 H message)
                                   throws Exception

Throws:

Exception
