Method Detail

doRead

int doRead(ByteChunk chunk,
           Request unused)
           throws java.io.IOException
Read bytes.

Specified by:
doRead in interface InputBuffer
Returns:
Number of bytes read.
Throws:
java.io.IOException

setRequest

void setRequest(Request request)
Some filters need additional parameters from the request. All the necessary reading can occur in that method, as this method is called after the request header processing is complete.


recycle

void recycle()
Make the filter ready to process the next request.


getEncodingName

ByteChunk getEncodingName()
Get the name of the encoding handled by this filter.


setBuffer

void setBuffer(InputBuffer buffer)
Set the next buffer in the filter pipeline.


end

long end()
         throws java.io.IOException
End the current request.

Returns:
0 is the expected return value. A positive value indicates that too many bytes were read. This method is allowed to use buffer.doRead to consume extra bytes. The result of this method can't be negative (if an error happens, an IOException should be thrown instead).
Throws:
java.io.IOException

available

int available()
Amount of bytes still available in a buffer.
