/**
 * This class is used to contain standard internet message headers,
 * used for SMTP (RFC822) and HTTP (RFC2068) messages as well as for
 * MIME (RFC 2045) applications such as transferring typed data and
 * grouping related items in multipart message bodies.
 *
 * 

Message headers, as specified in RFC822, include a field name * and a field body. Order has no semantic significance, and several * fields with the same name may exist. However, most fields do not * (and should not) exist more than once in a header. * *

Many kinds of field body must conform to a specified syntax, * including the standard parenthesized comment syntax. This class * supports only two simple syntaxes, for dates and integers. * *

When processing headers, care must be taken to handle the case of * multiple same-name fields correctly. The values of such fields are * only available as strings. They may be accessed by index (treating * the header as an array of fields), or by name (returning an array * of string values). */ /* Headers are first parsed and stored in the order they are received. This is based on the fact that most servlets will not directly access all headers, and most headers are single-valued. ( the alternative - a hash or similar data structure - will add an overhead that is not needed in most cases ) Apache seems to be using a similar method for storing and manipulating headers. Future enhancements: - hash the headers the first time a header is requested ( i.e. if the servlet needs direct access to headers). - scan "common" values ( length, cookies, etc ) during the parse ( addHeader hook ) */ /** * Memory-efficient repository for Mime Headers. When the object is recycled, it * will keep the allocated headers[] and all the MimeHeaderField - no GC is generated. * * For input headers it is possible to use the MessageByte for Fileds - so no GC * will be generated. * * The only garbage is generated when using the String for header names/values - * this can't be avoided when the servlet calls header methods, but is easy * to avoid inside tomcat. The goal is to use _only_ MessageByte-based Fields, * and reduce to 0 the memory overhead of tomcat. * * TODO: * XXX one-buffer parsing - for http ( other protocols don't need that ) * XXX remove unused methods * XXX External enumerations, with 0 GC. * XXX use HeaderName ID * * * @author dac@eng.sun.com * @author James Todd [gonzo@eng.sun.com] * @author Costin Manolache * @author kevin seguin */ public class MimeHeaders { /** Initial size - should be == average number of headers per request * XXX make it configurable ( fine-tuning of web-apps ) */ public static final int DEFAULT_HEADER_SIZE=8; /** * The header fields. */ private MimeHeaderField[] headers = new MimeHeaderField[DEFAULT_HEADER_SIZE]; /** * The current number of header fields. */ private int count; /** * Creates a new MimeHeaders object using a default buffer size. */ public MimeHeaders() { } /** * Clears all header fields. */ // [seguin] added for consistency -- most other objects have recycle(). public void recycle() { clear(); } /** * Clears all header fields. */ public void clear() { for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) { headers[i].recycle(); } count = 0; } /** * EXPENSIVE!!! only for debugging. */ public String toString() { StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw); pw.println("=== MimeHeaders ==="); Enumeration e = names(); while (e.hasMoreElements()) { String n = (String)e.nextElement(); pw.println(n + " = " + getHeader(n)); } return sw.toString(); } // -------------------- Idx access to headers ---------- /** * Returns the current number of header fields. */ public int size() { return count; } /** * Returns the Nth header name, or null if there is no such header. * This may be used to iterate through all header fields. */ public MessageBytes getName(int n) { return n >= 0 && n < count ? headers[n].getName() : null; } /** * Returns the Nth header value, or null if there is no such header. * This may be used to iterate through all header fields. */ public MessageBytes getValue(int n) { return n >= 0 && n < count ? headers[n].getValue() : null; } /** Find the index of a header with the given name. */ public int findHeader( String name, int starting ) { // We can use a hash - but it's not clear how much // benefit you can get - there is an overhead // and the number of headers is small (4-5 ?) // Another problem is that we'll pay the overhead // of constructing the hashtable // A custom search tree may be better for (int i = starting; i < count; i++) { if (headers[i].getName().equalsIgnoreCase(name)) { return i; } } return -1; } // -------------------- -------------------- /** * Returns an enumeration of strings representing the header field names. * Field names may appear multiple times in this enumeration, indicating * that multiple fields with that name exist in this header. */ public Enumeration names() { return new NamesEnumerator(this); } public Enumeration values(String name) { return new ValuesEnumerator(this, name); } // -------------------- Adding headers -------------------- /** * Adds a partially constructed field to the header.
