Examples of groovyx.net.http.RESTClient

• groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
  Extension to HTTPBuilder that basically attempts to provide a slightly more REST-ful face on top of HTTPBuilder. The differences between this class and HTTPBuilder are such:

  • Access to response headers. All "request" methods on this class by default return an instance of {@link HttpResponseDecorator}, which allows for simple evaluation of the response.
  • No streaming responses. Responses are expected to either not carry data (in the case of HEAD or DELETE) or be parse-able into some sort of object. That object is accessible via {@link HttpResponseDecorator#getData()}.

  By default, all request method methods will return a {@link HttpResponseDecorator}instance, which provides convenient access to response headers and the parsed response body. The response body is parsed based on content-type, identical to how HTTPBuilder's {@link HTTPBuilder#defaultSuccessHandler(HttpResponseDecorator,Object) default response handler} functions.

  Failed requests (i.e. responses which return a status code > 399) will by default throw a {@link HttpResponseException}. This exception may be used to retrieve additional information regarding the response as well.
