public AuthorizationHeader()

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from class: Header

Returns the name of the header, as it would canonically appear within an HTTP message.

Specified by:

getName in class Header

Returns:

The name of the header, as it would canonically appear within an HTTP message.

getValues

public List<String> getValues()

Description copied from class: Header

Returns the header as a list of strings. If the header has no values then it must return an empty list, never null. Each String should represent the value component of the key-value pair that makes up the HTTP header - as such, for some Header implementations each String in this List may contain multiple token-separated values.

The List returned from this method should not be expected to be mutable. However, some subclasses of Header may choose to implement it as such.

Specified by:

getValues in class Header

Returns:

The header as a non-null list of string values. Can be an empty list.

setRawValue

public AuthorizationHeader setRawValue(String rawValue)
                                throws MalformedHeaderException

Set the raw value of the header.

Parameters:

rawValue - The raw value.

Returns:

The header.

Throws:

MalformedHeaderException - If the value is malformed.

getRawValue

public String getRawValue()

Get the raw value of the header.

Returns:

The raw value.

getType

public String getType()

Get the type of the authorization being presented, e.g. Basic

Returns:

The type.

getCredentials

public String getCredentials()

Get the credentials component of the header value.

Returns:

The credentials string.

parseCredentials

public <C> Optional<C> parseCredentials(CredentialsParser<C> parser)
                                 throws MalformedHeaderException

Parse the credentials to a rich type.

Type Parameters:

C - The rich type for the credentials.

Parameters:

parser - The parser that can parse to the rich type.

Returns:

An optional of the parsed credentials, or an empty optional if the type is not supported by the provided parser.

Throws:

MalformedHeaderException - If the credentials are not valid for the type.

valueOf

public static AuthorizationHeader valueOf(String value)
                                   throws MalformedHeaderException

Parse a string as an Authorization header value.

Parameters:

value - The value.

Returns:

The header.

Throws:

MalformedHeaderException - If the header cannot be parsed as an Authorization header.

valueOf

public static AuthorizationHeader valueOf(Message<?> message)
                                   throws MalformedHeaderException

Constructs a new header, initialized from the specified message.

Parameters:

message - The message to initialize the header from.

Returns:

The parsed header.

Throws:

MalformedHeaderException - If the Authorization header is present but malformed.
