Interface RequestDirector

All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultRequestDirector

@Deprecated public interface RequestDirector
Deprecated.
(4.3) No longer used
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.
Since:

      org.apache.http.HttpResponse execute(org.apache.http.HttpHost target, org.apache.http.HttpRequest request, org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context) throws org.apache.http.HttpException, IOException
      Deprecated.
      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.
      Throws:
      org.apache.http.HttpException - in case of a problem
      IOException - in case of an IO problem or if the connection was aborted
