Field Detail

FORM_DATA

static final AttachmentKey<FormData> FORM_DATA

When the form data is parsed it will be attached under this key.

Method Detail

parse

void parse(HttpHandler next)
           throws Exception

Parse the form data asynchronously. If all the data cannot be read immediately then a read listener will be registered, and the data will be parsed by the read thread.

When this method completes the handler will be invoked, and the data will be attached under FORM_DATA.

The method can either invoke the next handler directly, or may delegate to the IO thread to perform the parsing.

Throws:

Exception

parseBlocking

FormData parseBlocking()
                       throws IOException

Parse the data, blocking the current thread until parsing is complete. For blocking handlers this method is more efficient than #parse(), as the calling thread should do that actual parsing, rather than the read thread

Returns:

The parsed form data

Throws:

IOException - If the data could not be read

close

void close()
           throws IOException

Closes the parser, and removes and temporary files that may have been created.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Throws:

IOException

setCharacterEncoding

void setCharacterEncoding(String encoding)

Sets the character encoding that will be used by this parser. If the request is already processed this will have no effect

Parameters:

encoding - The encoding
