Method Detail

parseQueryString

public static java.util.Hashtable<java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]> parseQueryString(java.lang.String queryString)
                                                                                 throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

Turns a http QUERY_STRING that conforms to rfc1945("Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0") or rfc2068 ("Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1") into a Hashtable with key = key and as values arrays of String. Implementation note: when a key or value is missing it will be represented as a zero length string.

Results:
?a=b : key = "a", value = "b"
?a : key = "a", value = ""
?=b : key = "", value = "b"

Parameters:

queryString - The queryString to process

Returns:

a Hashtable with String keys, and array of String values.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the queryString contains an error it can't handle.

public static java.util.Hashtable<java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]> parsePostData(int contentLength,
                                                                     ServletInputStream in)
                                                                              throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

Reads the data provided by the client using the POST method, passes these on to HttpUtils.parseQueryString for further treatment, and returns the resulting Hashtable.

bonus:
When contentLength < 0 it keeps on reading data until EOF
throws an IllegalArgumentException when contentLength != amount of data in the inputstream

Returns:

a Hashtable with String keys, and array of String values.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If an IO error occurs or the POST data contains an error it can't handle.

Since:
