Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static final ContextMap.Key<HttpExecutionStrategy>	HTTP_EXECUTION_STRATEGY_KEY	Allows using a custom HttpExecutionStrategy for the HTTP message execution, when present in the meta-data context.
static final ContextMap.Key<Boolean>	HTTP_FORCE_NEW_CONNECTION	If set to true, forces creating a new connection versus potentially selecting an already established one.
static final ContextMap.Key<String>	HTTP_ROUTE	The key used by server-side routers to assign an http.route attribute for incoming requests.
static final ContextMap.Key<Object>	HTTP_TARGET_ADDRESS_BEHIND_PROXY	Deprecated. Use TransportObserverConnectionFactoryFilter to configure TransportObserver and then listen ConnectionObserver.onProxyConnect(Object) callback to distinguish between a regular connection and a connection to the secure HTTP proxy tunnel.
static final ContextMap.Key<Long>	STREAM_ID	The key used to retrieve a virtual stream identifier from the corresponding request context.

Field Details

HTTP_EXECUTION_STRATEGY_KEY

public static final ContextMap.Key<HttpExecutionStrategy> HTTP_EXECUTION_STRATEGY_KEY

Allows using a custom HttpExecutionStrategy for the HTTP message execution, when present in the meta-data context. Otherwise, an automatically inferred strategy will be used by a client or server.

HTTP_TARGET_ADDRESS_BEHIND_PROXY

@Deprecated
public static final ContextMap.Key<Object> HTTP_TARGET_ADDRESS_BEHIND_PROXY

Deprecated.

Use TransportObserverConnectionFactoryFilter to configure TransportObserver and then listen ConnectionObserver.onProxyConnect(Object) callback to distinguish between a regular connection and a connection to the secure HTTP proxy tunnel. For clear text HTTP proxies, consider installing a custom client filter that will populate HttpMetaData.context() with a similar key or reach out to the ServiceTalk developers to discuss ideas.

When opening a connection to a proxy, this key tells what is the actual (unresolved) target address behind the proxy this connection will be established to.

To distinguish between a secure HTTP proxy tunneling and a clear text HTTP proxy, check presence of ConnectionInfo.sslConfig().

HTTP_FORCE_NEW_CONNECTION

public static final ContextMap.Key<Boolean> HTTP_FORCE_NEW_CONNECTION

If set to true, forces creating a new connection versus potentially selecting an already established one.

This key is only available when reserving a connection and will be ignored when performing a regular request on the client (for example through HttpRequester.request(HttpRequest)).

• HttpClient.reserveConnection(HttpRequestMetaData)

HTTP_ROUTE

public static final ContextMap.Key<String> HTTP_ROUTE

The key used by server-side routers to assign an http.route attribute for incoming requests.

Router implementation are responsible for assigning this key to either HttpMetaData.context() (preferred) or AsyncContext if HttpRequestMetaData is not available in the scope of the router. This key can be used later by observability extensions to assign an attribute for emitted metrics or traces.

STREAM_ID

public static final ContextMap.Key<Long> STREAM_ID

The key used to retrieve a virtual stream identifier from the corresponding request context.

Multiplexed protocols, like HTTP/2, use streams to precess every request. The Stream ID is lazy and typically assigned after the request headers are written to the transport. Therefore, it can not be known in advance on the client-side, but often useful to retrieve later for correlation with other events.
