### SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory

    public SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory()

Method Detail

### setProxy

    public void setProxy(Proxy proxy)

  Set the `Proxy` to use for this request factory.

### setConnectTimeout

    public void setConnectTimeout(int connectTimeout)

  Set the underlying URLConnection's connect timeout (in milliseconds). A timeout value of 0 specifies an infinite timeout.

  Default is the system's default timeout.

  See Also:
    `URLConnection.setConnectTimeout(int)`

### setReadTimeout

    public void setReadTimeout(int readTimeout)

  Set the underlying URLConnection's read timeout (in milliseconds). A timeout value of 0 specifies an infinite timeout.

  Default is the system's default timeout.

  See Also:
    `URLConnection.setReadTimeout(int)`

### createRequest

    public ClientHttpRequest createRequest(URI uri,
                                           HttpMethod httpMethod)
                                    throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `ClientHttpRequestFactory`
  Create a new `ClientHttpRequest` for the specified URI and HTTP method.

  The returned request can be written to, and then executed by calling `ClientHttpRequest.execute()`.

  Specified by:
    `createRequest` in interface `ClientHttpRequestFactory`
  Parameters:
    `uri` - the URI to create a request for
    `httpMethod` - the HTTP method to execute
  Returns:
    the created request
  Throws:
    `IOException` - in case of I/O errors

### openConnection

    protected HttpURLConnection openConnection(URL url,
                                               Proxy proxy)
                                        throws IOException

  Opens and returns a connection to the given URL.

  The default implementation uses the given proxy - if any - to open a connection.

  Parameters:
    `url` - the URL to open a connection to
    `proxy` - the proxy to use, may be `null`
  Returns:
    the opened connection
  Throws:
    `IOException` - in case of I/O errors

### prepareConnection

    protected void prepareConnection(HttpURLConnection connection,
                                     String httpMethod)
                              throws IOException

  Template method for preparing the given `HttpURLConnection`.

  The default implementation prepares the connection for input and output, and sets the HTTP method.

  Parameters:
    `connection` - the connection to prepare
    `httpMethod` - the HTTP request method (`GET`, `POST`, etc.)
  Throws:
    `IOException` - in case of I/O errors
