简述
如果您需要使用Java语言来请求HTTP资源,那么你可能会遇到多种解决方案,你最终可能会以一种合理的方式来达成这个目的 —– 引用第三方包。
好消息,好消息,黄鹤带着小姨子回来了,皮革厂有救了:Java9除了有模块化特性之外,还附带了一个全新的HTTP客户端API。不仅支持HTTP2.0,还提供了一套有亲和力的API。SO,让我们来剥掉小姨子神秘的蕾丝面纱。
HTTP2.0是啥子东东?
HTTP2.0带来了令人手舞足蹈的新特性:(这里不来自原文)
- 二进制分帧
- 请求/响应管线化
- 异步连接
- 多路复用
- 服务器推送流(Server Push技术)
- 基于TCP的长连接
- 首部压缩
一句话描述:http/2最大的特点是使用多路复用,对同一个域的服务器只建立一次TCP连接,加载多个资源,使用二进制帧传输,同时会对http头部进行压缩。
就这样,我们瞧上了丰满的HTTP2.0。
Incubator 模块
这里需要注意的是,在Java9中HTTP客户端的构建需要依赖于一个Incubator模块,and more:
- 在 JDK 9, 这个模块叫做jdk.incubator.httpclient
- incubator模块在JDK10将被java.httpclient所取代
- JDK10在这方面将迎来重大突破(现在谁知道?)
Java 9的HTTP客户端API
基本上,通过HTTP进行通信时,会涉及到三个类:HttpClient将用于发送HttpRequest和接收HttpResponse。这API还是比较容易理解的,right? Let’s see:
基本示例:GET 请求,返回字符串
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(new URI("https://labs.consol.de/"))
.build();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandler.asString());
System.out.println(response.statusCode());
System.out.println(response.body());
很优雅,对不对? 没有InputStream和Reader被涉及, - 转而是通过BodyHandler来直接从响应中获取字符串。不多赘述,将在下文介绍BodyHandlers。
虽然HttpClient,HttpRequest并且HttpResponse是HTTP2.0通信中的主要参与者,但我们还是要与Builder配合使用。Builder提供了一套简明易懂的API。
HttpRequest.Builder
我们可以通过调用HttpRequest.newBuilder()来获取一个HttpRequest.Builder实例,就像第一个示例中那样。 我们将使用它来配置与特定请求相关的所有内容。下面是源代码:
// HttpRequest.Builder
public abstract static class Builder {
// note: some methods left out for the sake of brevity
public abstract Builder uri(URI uri);
public abstract Builder version(HttpClient.Version version);
public abstract Builder header(String name, String value);
public abstract Builder timeout(Duration duration);
public abstract Builder GET();
public abstract Builder POST(BodyProcessor body);
public abstract Builder PUT(BodyProcessor body);
public abstract Builder DELETE(BodyProcessor body);
public abstract HttpRequest build();
}
可读性很好(自解释型), right? 采用链式方法调用来完成请求内容的配置,然后调用build()获取HttpRequest实例。
HttpClient.Builder
与HttpRequest类似,我们调用HttpClient.newBuilder()来获取HttpClient.Builder实例。它提供了一个API来配置一些关于我们的连接的更通用的东西。 下面是源代码:
// HttpClient.Builder
public abstract static class Builder {
public abstract Builder cookieManager(CookieManager cookieManager);
public abstract Builder sslContext(SSLContext sslContext);
public abstract Builder sslParameters(SSLParameters sslParameters);
public abstract Builder executor(Executor executor);
public abstract Builder followRedirects(Redirect policy);
public abstract Builder version(HttpClient.Version version);
public abstract Builder priority(int priority);
public abstract Builder proxy(ProxySelector selector);
public abstract Builder authenticator(Authenticator a);
public abstract HttpClient build();
}
真是通体雪白!!良好的自解释性帮助IDE能够更好地达成你的目的。
更多Java 9 HTTP客户端应用示例
上面见识到了这套前景光明的API,下面让我们来看看更多的关于它的应用示例吧。
1. 保存GET请求到文件
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(new URI("https://labs.consol.de/"))
.GET()
.build();
Path tempFile = Files.createTempFile("consol-labs-home", ".html");
HttpResponse<Path> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandler.asFile(tempFile));
System.out.println(response.statusCode());
System.out.println(response.body());
2. 通过POST上传文件
用POST上传本地文件也变得十分简单,使用HttpRequest.BodyProcessor:
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(new URI("http://localhost:8080/upload/"))
.POST(HttpRequest.BodyProcessor.fromFile(Paths.get("/tmp/file-to-upload.txt")))
.build();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandler.discard(null));
System.out.println(response.statusCode());
3. 异步HTTP请求
异步HTTP请求也变得简单,由HttpClient#sendAsync()代替HttpClient#send。如果服务端支持,你甚至可以取消执行中的请求:
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(new URI("https://labs.consol.de/"))
.GET()
.build();
CompletableFuture<HttpResponse<String>> response = client.sendAsync(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandler.asString());
Thread.sleep(5000);
if(response.isDone()) {
System.out.println(response.get().statusCode());
System.out.println(response.get().body());
} else {
response.cancel(true);
System.out.println("Request took more than 5 seconds... cancelling.");
}
4. 使用系统代理设置
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newBuilder()
.proxy(ProxySelector.getDefault())
.build();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(new URI("https://labs.consol.de"))
.GET()
.build();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandler.asString());
System.out.println(response.statusCode());
System.out.println(response.body());
5.基本认证 Basic Authentication
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newBuilder()
.authenticator(new Authenticator() {
@Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("username", "password".toCharArray());
}
})
.build();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(new URI("https://labs.consol.de"))
.GET()
.build();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandler.asString());
System.out.println(response.statusCode());
System.out.println(response.body());
结论
上面的例子表明,使用Java 9的标准API来发送HTTP请求会更简便。 此外,我们将能以优雅的方式处理响应。当然,某些三方包也有类似喜人的功能,但总得选择一种体面的(decent)开箱即用的解决方案(大家闺秀即视感,2333)。
