最近使用HttpClient4.3开源包,发现了EntityUtils这个对象,EntityUtils对象是org.apache.http.util下的一个工具类,用官方的解释是为HttpEntity对象提供的静态帮助类,其常用的几个方法如下:
consume()方法;
consumeQuietly(HttpEntity)方法
toByteArray(final HttpEntity entity)方法
最主要的就是consume()这个方法,其功能就是关闭HttpEntity是的流,如果手动关闭了InputStream instream = entity.getContent();这个流,也可以不调用这个方法。看看了其源码就知道了:
public final class EntityUtils {
private EntityUtils() {
}
public static void consumeQuietly(final HttpEntity entity) {
try {
consume(entity);
} catch (final IOException ignore) {
}
}
public static void consume(final HttpEntity entity) throws IOException {
if (entity == null) {
return;
}
if (entity.isStreaming()) {
final InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
if (instream != null) {
instream.close();
}
}
}
public static void updateEntity(
final HttpResponse response, final HttpEntity entity) throws IOException {
Args.notNull(response, "Response");
consume(response.getEntity());
response.setEntity(entity);
}
public static byte[] toByteArray(final HttpEntity entity) throws IOException {
Args.notNull(entity, "Entity");
final InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
if (instream == null) {
return null;
}
try {
Args.check(entity.getContentLength() <= Integer.MAX_VALUE,
"HTTP entity too large to be buffered in memory");
int i = (int)entity.getContentLength();
if (i < 0) {
i = 4096;
}
final ByteArrayBuffer buffer = new ByteArrayBuffer(i);
final byte[] tmp = new byte[4096];
int l;
while((l = instream.read(tmp)) != -1) {
buffer.append(tmp, 0, l);
}
return buffer.toByteArray();
} finally {
instream.close();
}
}
@Deprecated
public static String getContentCharSet(final HttpEntity entity) throws ParseException {
Args.notNull(entity, "Entity");
String charset = null;
if (entity.getContentType() != null) {
final HeaderElement values[] = entity.getContentType().getElements();
if (values.length > 0) {
final NameValuePair param = values[0].getParameterByName("charset");
if (param != null) {
charset = param.getValue();
}
}
}
return charset;
}

public static String getContentMimeType(final HttpEntity entity) throws ParseException {
Args.notNull(entity, "Entity");
String mimeType = null;
if (entity.getContentType() != null) {
final HeaderElement values[] = entity.getContentType().getElements();
if (values.length > 0) {
mimeType = values[0].getName();
}
}
return mimeType;
}
public static String toString(
final HttpEntity entity, final Charset defaultCharset) throws IOException, ParseException {
Args.notNull(entity, "Entity");
final InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
if (instream == null) {

}
try {

if (i < 0) {

}
Charset charset = null;
try {
final ContentType contentType = ContentType.get(entity);
if (contentType != null) {
charset = contentType.getCharset();
}
} catch (final UnsupportedCharsetException ex) {
throw new UnsupportedEncodingException(ex.getMessage());
}
if (charset == null) {
charset = defaultCharset;
}
if (charset == null) {
charset = HTTP.DEF_CONTENT_CHARSET;
}
final Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(instream, charset);
final CharArrayBuffer buffer = new CharArrayBuffer(i);
final char[] tmp = new char[1024];
int l;
while((l = reader.read(tmp)) != -1) {
buffer.append(tmp, 0, l);
}
return buffer.toString();
} finally {
instream.close();
}
}
public static String toString(
