Hi,
[this has already been posted to net-dev]
JEP 110 HTTP 2 client
in JDK 9, is defining and implementing a new API for HTTP which also
supports
the new HTTP version 2 that has recently been working its way through
the IETF.
The work also includes support for websockets (RFC 6455).
In fact, the majority of the API is agnostic about the HTTP protocol
version, with only minor
configuration settings, and support for multiple responses (Http server
push) having any direct impact.
The HTTP API is defined around three main types (HttpClient, which is
the central
point for configuration of SSL, executor service cookie management etc),
HttpRequest
and HttpResponse (which should be self explanatory).
Requests are sent/received either synchronously (blocking) or in a
non-blocking (asynchronous)
mode using java.util.future.CompletableFuture.
The API docs can be seen at the link below:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~michaelm/httpclient/01/
All new classes and interfaces belong to the java.net package.
A prototype implementation of this API supporting HTTP/1.1, is available
in the JDK 9 sandbox forest in JEP-110-branch.
Comments welcome!
Thanks,
Michael.
