      • MAX_REDIRECTS

        public static int MAX_REDIRECTS
        The maximum number of redirects to follow before throwing an IOException. If you allow the underlying Java URL class to follow redirects, it gives up after 20 hops.

      • urlConnection

        public static java.net.URLConnection urlConnection​(java.net.URL url)
                                                    throws java.io.IOException
        Open a URLConnection to the resource identified by the URI. For HTTP URIs, this method will follow up to MAX_REDIRECTS redirects or until it detects a loop; the connection returned in this case is to the first resource that did not return a 301 or 302 response code.
        Parameters:
        url - The URL to retrieve.
        Returns:
        An InputStream for the resource content.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - If more than MAX_REDIRECTS are occur or if a loop is detected.
      • urlStream

        public static java.io.InputStream urlStream​(java.net.URL url)
                                             throws java.io.IOException
        Open a stream to retrieve the content identified by the URI. For HTTP URIs, this method will follow up to MAX_REDIRECTS redirects or until it detects a loop. This method automatically accepts and decompresses gzip encoded responses.
        Parameters:
        url - The URL to retrieve.
        Returns:
        An InputStream for the resource content.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - If more than MAX_REDIRECTS are occur or if a loop is detected.
      • urlReader

        public static java.io.Reader urlReader​(java.net.URL url,
                                               java.lang.String requestedEncoding)
                                        throws java.io.IOException
        Open a reader to retrieve the content identified by the URI. This handles HTTP redirects in the same way as urlStream(URL), but then it also wraps the stream in a Reader, using the logic prescribed for the fn:unparsed-text function.
        Parameters:
        url - The URL to retrieve.
        requestedEncoding - The requested encoding. This is used only as a fallback, following the rules of the fn:unparsed-text specification
        Returns:
        A Reader for the resource content.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - If more than MAX_REDIRECTS are occur or if a loop is detected.

                                                          throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException
        Throws:
        java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException
