Implements

Iterable<HttpHeader>

public class HttpHeaders
implements Iterable<HttpHeader>

Represents a collection of headers on an HTTP request or response.

This class encapsulates the headers of an HTTP request or response. It provides methods to add, set, get, and remove headers. It also provides methods to convert the headers to a Map, and to get a Stream representation of the headers.

Each header is represented by an HttpHeader instance, which encapsulates the name and value(s) of a header. If multiple values are associated with the same header name, they are stored in a single HttpHeader instance with values separated by commas.

Note: Header names are case-insensitive.

Sets a HttpHeader with the given name and value. If a header with same name already exists then the value will be overwritten. If the given value is null, the header with the given name will be removed.

Parameters:

name - the name to set in the header. If it is null, this method will return with no changes to the headers.

set

@Deprecated

Deprecated

Use set(HttpHeaderName name, List<String> values) as it provides better performance.

Parameters:

name - the name
values - the values that will be comma-separated as appropriate

Returns:

The updated HttpHeaders object

setAll

public HttpHeaders setAll(Map> headers)

Sets all provided header key/values pairs into this HttpHeaders instance. This is equivalent to calling headers.forEach(this::set), and therefore the behavior is as specified in set(String name, List<String> values). In other words, this will create a header for each key in the provided map, replacing or removing an existing one, depending on the value. If the given values list is null, the header with the given name will be removed. If the given name is already a header, it will be removed and replaced with the headers provided.

Use setAllHttpHeaders(HttpHeaders headers) if you already have an instance of HttpHeaders as it provides better performance.

Parameters:

headers - a map containing keys representing header names, and keys representing the associated values.

Returns:

The updated HttpHeaders object

setAllHttpHeaders

public HttpHeaders setAllHttpHeaders(HttpHeaders headers)

Sets all headers from the passed headers into this HttpHeaders.

This is the equivalent to calling headers.forEach(header -> set(header.getName(), header.getValuesList()) and therefore the behavior is as specified in set(String name, List<String> values).

If headers is null this is a no-op.

Parameters:

headers - The headers to add into this HttpHeaders.

Returns:

The updated HttpHeaders object.

stream

public Stream stream()

Get a Stream representation of the HttpHeader values in this instance.

Returns:

A Stream of all header values in this instance.

toMap

public Map toMap()

Returns a copy of the http headers as an unmodifiable Map representation of the state of the headers at the time of the toMap call. This map will not change as the underlying http headers change, and nor will modifying the key or values contained in the map have any effect on the state of the http headers.

Note that there may be performance implications of using Map APIs on the returned Map. It is highly recommended that users prefer to use alternate APIs present on the HttpHeaders class, over using APIs present on the returned Map class. For example, use the get(String name) API, rather than httpHeaders.toMap().get(name).

Returns:

the headers in a copied and unmodifiable form.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

HttpHeaders.toString()
