How would I be able to handle downloads using HttpResponse in Java? I made an HttpGet request to a specific site - the site returns the file to be downloaded. How can I handle this download? InputStream doesn't seem to be able to handle it (or maybe I'm using it the wrong way.) Assuming you're actually talking about HttpClient , Here's an SSCCE : package com.stackoverflow.q2633002; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.OutputStream; import org.apache.http.HttpResponse; import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient; import org.apache

I am working with a GET request made using Apache HTTP client (v4- the latest version; not the older v3)... How do I obtain the mimetype of the response? In the older v3 of apache http client, mime type was obtained using following code-- String mimeType = response.getMimeType(); How do I get the mimetype using v4 of apache http client? A "Content-type" HTTP header should give you mime type information: Header contentType = response.getFirstHeader("Content-Type"); or as Header contentType = response.getEntity().getContentType(); Then you can extract mime type itself as the content-type may

I'm trying to test a secure http connection using self signed certificates... just for development purposes. But I haven't been able to resolve the peer not authenticated exception, of course I have looked at similar posts about this exception and the following one is the current implementation I'm using: public class SelfCertificatesSocketFactory extends SSLSocketFactory { SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS"); public SelfCertificatesSocketFactory(KeyStore trustStore) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException,UnrecoverableKeyException,KeyStoreException,KeyManagementException { super

I am working with apache http client (v4) in a java web app, and I am stuck in the following cases, for which I require simple usage examples-- (1) How to use Cookies with Apache HTTP client, different options available for usage of cookies (2) Extracting charset, mimetype, response headers (as KeyValuePair) and budy (as byte[]) when the response is available in HTTPResponse object. 1)AS for cookies,see that exapmle: httpcomponents-client-4.1.3\examples\org\apache\http\examples\client\ClientCustomContext.java main code: HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); try { // Create a local

I am using apache http client v4.5 and using it as a REST client. In some cases I recognize an error "[read] I/O error: Read timed out" which comes from the httpclient framework when it reads the received content and shows it as a last message. It seems not to have an impact, however I wonder if somebody has an idea where it is coming from and how it can be solved. According the following thread ( link ) it seems to be an issue with the "mutlithreaded" configuration. However I use only the default configuration of http client and while I am using the version v4 I have no clue how I can set

How do I set the connection timeout in httpcomponents httpclient? I have found the documentation at: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/connmgmt.html but it is not clear how these parameters are actually set. Also, an explanation of the difference between SO_TIMEOUT and CONNECTION_TIMEOUT would be helpful. 30thh In version 4.3 of Apache Http Client the configuration was refactored (again). The new way looks like this: RequestConfig.Builder requestBuilder = RequestConfig.custom(); requestBuilder.setConnectTimeout(timeout); requestBuilder.setConnectionRequestTimeout
