    • getInputStream

      InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException
      Returns the body of the request as an input stream. The returned input stream must support the method InputStream.mark(int) and thus return true for InputStream.markSupported().

      This is important as the command dispatcher needs to take a peek into the request to determine which request handler knows to deal with the client request.

      Returns:
      the body of the request as an input stream.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an input exception occurs.

      The date is returned as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 GMT. The header name is case insensitive.

      If the request did not have a header of the specified name, this method returns -1. If the header can't be converted to a date, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException.

      Parameters:
      aName - a String specifying the name of the header
      Returns:
      a long value representing the date specified in the header expressed as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 GMT, or -1 if the named header was not included with the reqest
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If the header value can't be converted to a date

      2017.0
