org.apache.http.client.RequestDirector |
Known Indirect Subclasses |
A client-side request director.
The director decides which steps are necessary to execute a request.
It establishes connections and optionally processes redirects and
authentication challenges. The director may therefore generate and
send a sequence of requests in order to execute one initial request.
Note:
It is most likely that implementations of this interface will
allocate connections, and return responses that depend on those
connections for reading the response entity. Such connections
MUST be released, but that is out of the scope of a request director.

to a default target or by inspecting the request.
