BasicHeader

public BasicHeader(String name,
 Supplier<Object> value)

Constructor with delayed value.

Header value is re-evaluated on each call to getValue().

Parameters:

name - The header name.

value - The supplier of the header value.
Can be null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If name is null or empty.

BasicHeader

protected BasicHeader(BasicHeader copyFrom)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

copyFrom - The object to copy.

Method Details

of

public static BasicHeader of(String name,
 Object value)

Static creator.

Parameters:

name - The parameter name.

value - The parameter value.
Can be null.

Returns:

A new header bean, or null if value is null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If name is null or empty.

of

public static BasicHeader of(NameValuePair o)

Static creator.

Parameters:

o - The name value pair that makes up the header name and value. The parameter value.
Any non-String value will be converted to a String using Object.toString().

Returns:

A new header bean.

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface NameValuePair

getValue

public String getValue()

Specified by:

getValue in interface NameValuePair

getElements

public HeaderElement[] getElements()
                            throws ParseException

Specified by:

getElements in interface Header

Throws:

ParseException

equalsIgnoreCase

public boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String compare)

Returns true if the specified value is the same using String.equalsIgnoreCase(String).

Parameters:

compare - The value to compare against.

Returns:

true if the specified value is the same.

assertName

public FluentStringAssertion<BasicHeader> assertName()
