encodeBasicAuthentication

public static java.lang.String encodeBasicAuthentication(java.lang.String pUser,
                                                         java.lang.String pPassword,
                                                         java.lang.String pEncoding)
                                                  throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Creates the Base64 encoded credentials for HTTP Basic Authentication.

Parameters:

pUser - User name, or null, if no Basic Authentication is being used.

pPassword - Users password, or null, if no Basic Authentication is being used.

pEncoding - Encoding being used for conversion of the credential string into a byte array.

Returns:

Base64 encoded credentials, for use in the HTTP header

Throws:

java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException - The encoding pEncoding is invalid.

isUsingGzipEncoding

public static boolean isUsingGzipEncoding(java.lang.String pHeaderValue)

Returns, whether the HTTP header value pHeaderValue indicates, that GZIP encoding is used or may be used.

Parameters:

pHeaderValue - The HTTP header value being parsed. This is typically the value of "Content-Encoding", or "Accept-Encoding".

Returns:

True, if the header value suggests that GZIP encoding is or may be used.

getNonIdentityTransferEncoding

public static java.lang.String getNonIdentityTransferEncoding(java.lang.String pHeaderValue)

Returns, whether the HTTP header value pHeaderValue indicates, that another encoding than "identity" is used. This is typically the value of "Transfer-Encoding", or "TE".

Returns:

Null, if the transfer encoding in use is "identity". Otherwise, another transfer encoding.

isUsingGzipEncoding

public static boolean isUsingGzipEncoding(java.util.Enumeration pValues)

Returns, whether the HTTP header values in pValues indicate, that GZIP encoding is used or may be used.

Parameters:

pValues - The HTTP header values being parsed. These are typically the values of "Content-Encoding", or "Accept-Encoding".

Returns:

True, if the header values suggests that GZIP encoding is or may be used.

readLine

public static java.lang.String readLine(java.io.InputStream pIn,
                                        byte[] pBuffer)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

Reads a header line from the input stream pIn and converts it into a string.

Parameters:

pIn - The input stream being read.

pBuffer - A buffer being used for temporary storage. The buffers length is a limit of the header lines length.

Returns:

Next header line or null, if no more header lines are available.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Reading the header line failed.

parseAuthorization

public static void parseAuthorization(XmlRpcHttpRequestConfigImpl pConfig,
                                      java.lang.String pLine)

Parses an "Authorization" header and adds the username and password to pConfig.

Parameters:

pConfig - The request configuration being created.

pLine - The header being parsed, including the "basic" part.
