如何使用Apache HttpClient来执行GET、POST、PUT和DELETE请求

Apache HttpClient 是一个功能强大且灵活的库，用于在Java中处理HTTP请求。

它支持多种HTTP方法，包括GET、POST、PUT和DELETE等。

本教程将演示如何使用Apache HttpClient来执行GET、POST、PUT和DELETE请求。

Maven依赖

要使用Apache HttpClient，您需要在pom.xml文件中添加以下依赖项：

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.httpcomponents.client5/httpclient5 -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents.client5</groupId>
    <artifactId>httpclient5</artifactId>
    <version>5.3</version>
</dependency>

示例场景

我们将创建简单的Java类，这些类将向指定的URL发送GET、POST、PUT和DELETE请求，并打印响应。

JSONPlaceholder API

为了演示目的，我们将使用JSONPlaceholder API，该API提供了一个虚拟的在线RESTful端点，用于测试和原型设计。

GET请求

发送GET请求的Java类

创建一个名为HttpClientGetExample的类，代码如下：

import org.apache.hc.client5.http.classic.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.hc.client5.http.classic.methods.CloseableHttpResponse;
import org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.classic.CloseableHttpClient;
import org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.classic.HttpClients;
import org.apache.hc.core5.http.io.entity.EntityUtils;

public class HttpClientGetExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1";
        
        // 创建HttpClient
        try (CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.createDefault()) {
            
            // 创建HttpGet请求
            HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
            
            // 执行请求
            try (CloseableHttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request)) {
                
                // 获取HTTP响应状态
                System.out.println("Response Code: " + response.getCode());
                
                // 获取HTTP响应内容
                String content = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
                System.out.println("Response Content: \n" + content);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

示例输出

Response Code: 200
Response Content: 
{
  "userId": 1,
  "id": 1,
  "title": "sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit",

        String url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts";
        String json = "{\"title\":\"foo\",\"body\":\"bar\",\"userId\":1}";

        // 创建HttpClient
        try (CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.createDefault()) {
            
            // 创建HttpPost请求
            HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
            
            // 设置JSON负载
            StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(json, ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON);
            request.setEntity(entity);
            
            // 设置头部
            request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            request.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
            
            // 执行请求
            try (CloseableHttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request)) {
                
                // 获取HTTP响应状态
                System.out.println("Response Code: " + response.getCode());
                
                // 获取HTTP响应内容
                String content = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
                System.out.println("Response Content: \n" + content);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {

额外配置

• 设置自定义头部：可以通过调用请求对象（如HttpGet、HttpPost、HttpPut、HttpDelete）上的setHeader方法来设置自定义头部。
• 处理重定向：默认情况下，Apache HttpClient会自动处理重定向。您可以使用自定义的HttpClientBuilder来自定义这种行为。
• 设置超时：可以使用RequestConfig来设置连接和套接字超时。

结论

使用Apache HttpClient来执行GET、POST、PUT和DELETE HTTP请求非常方便。

通过遵循本教程，您现在应该能够创建并执行这些类型的请求，处理响应，并定制HTTP请求和响应过程。

Apache HttpClient提供了一整套功能，使其成为处理Java应用程序中HTTP操作的优秀选择。

JSONPlaceholder API作为一个实用且方便的来源，适合用来测试和原型化您的HTTP请求。
