entity is the optional content of a
message.
This package provides a basic selection of entity implementations
that can obtain content from
byte array,
string,
file, or through an arbitrary
input stream.
If a message is received from an open connection, usually it is
represented by
streamed entity.
Entity implementations can be
wrapped,
for example to
buffer
the content in memory.
| ContentLengthStrategy | Represents a strategy to determine length of the enclosed content entity based on properties of the HTTP message. |
| ContentProducer | An abstract entity content producer. |
| AbstractHttpEntity | Abstract base class for entities. |
| BasicHttpEntity | A generic streamed, non-repeatable entity that obtains its content from an InputStream. |
| BufferedHttpEntity | A wrapping entity that buffers it content if necessary. |
| ByteArrayEntity | A self contained, repeatable entity that obtains its content from a byte array. |
| EntityTemplate | Entity that delegates the process of content generation
to a ContentProducer. |
| FileEntity | A self contained, repeatable entity that obtains its content from a file. |
| HttpEntityWrapper | Base class for wrapping entities. |
| InputStreamEntity | A streamed, non-repeatable entity that obtains its content from an InputStream. |
| SerializableEntity | A streamed entity that obtains its content from a Serializable. |
| StringEntity | A self contained, repeatable entity that obtains its content from a String. |
