org.licas.call.ClientConnection

Direct Known Subclasses:

ClientConnectionAsync, ClientConnectionBlock

public abstract class ClientConnection
extends java.lang.Object

Base class for a blocking or non-blocking http client connection. If the request requires a reply, then it is blocked, or prevented from releasing its thread, until the reply is returned. If the request does not require a reply, recognised by the Const.VOID return type in the method, then the request is sent and the method terminates immediately afterwards. If a reply is required, then the call will block all other activity on this thread until it has completed or been timed out.
