Class ChunkedOutputStream

java.lang.Object

java.io.OutputStream

org.apache.commons.httpclient.ChunkedOutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable

public class ChunkedOutputStream
extends java.io.OutputStream

Implements HTTP chunking support. Writes are buffered to an internal buffer (2048 default size). Chunks are guaranteed to be at least as large as the buffer size (except for the last chunk).

Constructor Detail

ChunkedOutputStream

public ChunkedOutputStream(java.io.OutputStream stream,
                   int bufferSize)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Wraps a stream and chunks the output.

Parameters:

stream - to wrap

bufferSize - minimum chunk size (excluding last chunk)

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Since:

3.0

ChunkedOutputStream

public ChunkedOutputStream(java.io.OutputStream stream)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Wraps a stream and chunks the output. The default buffer size of 2048 was chosen because the chunk overhead is less than 0.5%

Parameters:

stream -

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Method Detail

flushCache

protected void flushCache()
                   throws java.io.IOException

Writes the cache out onto the underlying stream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Since:

3.0

flushCacheWithAppend

protected void flushCacheWithAppend(byte[] bufferToAppend,
                        int off,
                        int len)
                             throws java.io.IOException

Writes the cache and bufferToAppend to the underlying stream as one large chunk

Parameters:

bufferToAppend -

off -

len -

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Since:

3.0

writeClosingChunk

protected void writeClosingChunk()
                          throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

finish

public void finish()
            throws java.io.IOException

Must be called to ensure the internal cache is flushed and the closing chunk is written.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Since:

3.0

write

public void write(int b)
           throws java.io.IOException

Write the specified byte to our output stream. Note: Avoid this method as it will cause an inefficient single byte chunk. Use write (byte[], int, int) instead.

Specified by:

write in class java.io.OutputStream

Parameters:

b - The byte to be written

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an input/output error occurs

write

public void write(byte[] b)
           throws java.io.IOException

Writes the array. If the array does not fit within the buffer, it is not split, but rather written out as one large chunk.

Overrides:

write in class java.io.OutputStream

Parameters:

b -

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Since:

3.0

write

public void write(byte[] src,
         int off,
         int len)
           throws java.io.IOException

Overrides:

write in class java.io.OutputStream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

flush

public void flush()
           throws java.io.IOException

Flushes the underlying stream, but leaves the internal buffer alone.

Specified by:

flush in interface java.io.Flushable

Overrides:

flush in class java.io.OutputStream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Finishes writing to the underlying stream, but does NOT close the underlying stream.

Specified by:

close in interface java.io.Closeable

Overrides:

close in class java.io.OutputStream

Throws:

java.io.IOException
