POApache HttpClient 4.0-beta2 httppost, how to add a referer?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to add a referer to an http post in Apache HttpClient (httpclient-4.0-beta2).</p> <p>I found some sample code that does this. The code works, but I'm wondering if there is not a simpler, more straightforward way to add the referer than using the (ominously named) addRequestInterceptor, which appears to take an (yikes!) inner class as a parameter.</p> <p>The code in question begins below with "// add the referer header". I'm a novice, and this code is doing several things that I don't understand. Is this really the simplest way to add a referer to my http post?</p> <p>Thanks for any pointers.</p> <pre><code>// initialize request parameters List<NameValuePair> formparams = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(); formparams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("firstName", "John")); formparams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("lastName", "Doe")); // set up httppost UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(formparams, "UTF-8"); HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(submitUrl); httppost.setEntity(entity); // create httpclient DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); // add the referer header, is an inner class used here? httpclient.addRequestInterceptor(new HttpRequestInterceptor() { public void process(final HttpRequest request, final HttpContext context) throws HttpException, IOException { request.addHeader("Referer", referer); } }); // execute the request HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); </code></pre>
