Class TransportHttp

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jgit.transport.Transport

org.eclipse.jgit.transport.HttpTransport

org.eclipse.jgit.transport.TransportHttp

All Implemented Interfaces:

PackTransport, WalkTransport

public class TransportHttp
extends HttpTransport
implements WalkTransport, PackTransport

Transport over HTTP and FTP protocols.

If the transport is using HTTP and the remote HTTP service is Git-aware (speaks the "smart-http protocol") this client will automatically take advantage of the additional Git-specific HTTP extensions. If the remote service does not support these extensions, the client will degrade to direct file fetching.

If the remote (server side) repository does not have the specialized Git support, object files are retrieved directly through standard HTTP GET (or binary FTP GET) requests. This make it easy to serve a Git repository through a standard web host provider that does not offer specific support for Git.

Method Detail

setUseSmartHttp

public void setUseSmartHttp(boolean on)

Toggle whether or not smart HTTP transport should be used.

This flag exists primarily to support backwards compatibility testing within a testing framework, there is no need to modify it in most applications.

Parameters:

on - if true (default), smart HTTP is enabled.

openFetch

public FetchConnection openFetch()
                          throws TransportException,
                                 NotSupportedException

Description copied from class: Transport

Begins a new connection for fetching from the remote repository.

If the transport has no local repository, the fetch connection can only be used for reading remote refs.

Specified by:

openFetch in class Transport

Returns:

a fresh connection to fetch from the remote repository.

Throws:

TransportException - the remote connection could not be established.

NotSupportedException - the implementation does not support fetching.

openPush

public PushConnection openPush()
                        throws NotSupportedException,
                               TransportException

Description copied from class: Transport

Begins a new connection for pushing into the remote repository.

Specified by:

openPush in class Transport

Returns:

a fresh connection to push into the remote repository.

Throws:

NotSupportedException - the implementation does not support pushing.

TransportException - the remote connection could not be established

close

public void close()

Description copied from class: Transport

Close any resources used by this transport.

If the remote repository is contacted by a network socket this method must close that network socket, disconnecting the two peers. If the remote repository is actually local (same system) this method must close any open file handles used to read the "remote" repository.

Specified by:

close in class Transport

httpOpen

protected HttpURLConnection httpOpen(String method,
                         URL u)
                              throws IOException

Open an HTTP connection.

Parameters:

method -

u -

Returns:

the connection

Throws:
