运行结果:
============================= Contents of get request ============================= <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Hello</title> </head> <body> 你好,zhangshan </body> </html> ============================= Contents of get request ends ============================= ============================= Contents of post request ============================= <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Hello</title> </head> <body> 你好,张三 </body> </html> ============================= Contents of post request ends =============================
注意:通过BufferedReader 读取远程返回的数据时,必须设置读取编码,否则中文会乱码!
HttpURLConnection.connect函数,实际上只是建立了一个与服务器的tcp连接,并没有实际发送http请求。无论是post还是get,http请求实际上直到HttpURLConnection.getInputStream()这个函数里面才正式发送出去。
在readContentFromPost() 中,顺序是重中之重,对connection对象的一切配置(那一堆set函数)都必须要在connect()函数执行之前完成。而对 outputStream的写操作,又必须要在inputStream的读操作之前。这些顺序实际上是由http请求的格式决定的。
http 请求实际上由两部分组成,一个是http头,所有关于此次http请求的配置都在http头里面定义,一个是正文content,在connect()函数里面,会根据HttpURLConnection对象的配置值生成http头,因此在调用connect函数之前,就必须把所有的配置准备好。
紧接着http头的是http请求的正文,正文的内容通过outputStream写入,实际上outputStream不是一个网络流,充其量是个字符串流,往里面写入的东西不会立即发送到网络,而是在流关闭后,根据输入的内容生成http正文。
至此,http请求的东西已经准备就绪。在getInputStream()函数调用的时候,就会把准备好的http请求正式发送到服务器了,然后返回一个输入流,用于读取服务器对于此次http请求的返回信息。由于http请求在getInputStream的时候已经发送出去了(包括http头和正文),因此在getInputStream()函数之后对connection对象进行设置(对http头的信息进行修改)或者写入 outputStream(对正文进行修改)都是没有意义的了,执行这些操作会导致异常的发生。
