Class Overview
A client-side request director.
The director decides which steps are necessary to execute a request.
It establishes connections and optionally processes redirects and
authentication challenges. The director may therefore generate and
send a sequence of requests in order to execute one initial request.
Public Methods
Executes a request.
Note:
For the time being, a new director is instantiated for each request.
This is the same behavior as for HttpMethodDirector
in HttpClient 3.
Parameters
target
| the target host for the request.
Implementations may accept null
if they can still determine a route, for example
to a default target or by inspecting the request. |
request
| the request to execute |
context
| the context for executing the request |
Returns
- the final response to the request.
This is never an intermediate response with status code 1xx.
