Enum Class HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode>

java.net.http.HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Comparable<HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode>, Constable

Enclosing interface:: HttpOption<T>

public static enum HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode extends Enum<HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode>

This enumeration can be used to help the HttpClient decide how an HTTP/3 exchange should be established, and can be provided as the value of the HttpOption.H3_DISCOVERY option to Builder.setOption.

Note that if neither the request preferred version nor the client preferred version is HTTP/3, no HTTP/3 exchange will be established and the Http3DiscoveryMode is ignored.

Since:: 26

Enum.EnumDesc<E>

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
`static final class`	`Enum.EnumDesc<E extends Enum<E>>`	A nominal descriptor for an `enum` constant.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constant	Description
`ALT_SVC`	This instructs the `HttpClient` to only use the HTTP Alternative Services to find or establish an HTTP/3 connection with the origin server.
`ANY`	This instructs the `HttpClient` to use its own implementation specific algorithm to find or establish a connection for the exchange.
`HTTP_3_URI_ONLY`	This instructs the `HttpClient` to only attempt an HTTP/3 connection with the origin server.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`final void`	`notify()`	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

Enum Constant Details

ANY

public static final HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode ANY

This instructs the HttpClient to use its own implementation specific algorithm to find or establish a connection for the exchange. Typically, if no connection was previously established with the origin server defined by the request URI, the HttpClient implementation may attempt to establish both an HTTP/3 connection over QUIC and an HTTP connection over TLS/TCP at the authority present in the request URI, and use the first that succeeds. The exchange may then be carried out with any of the three HTTP protocol versions, depending on which method succeeded first.

Implementation Note:: If the request preferred version is HTTP/3, the HttpClient may give priority to HTTP/3 by attempting to establish an HTTP/3 connection, before attempting a TLS connection over TCP.
When attempting an HTTP/3 connection in this mode, the HttpClient may use any HTTP Alternative Services information it may have previously obtained from the origin server. If no such information is available, a direct HTTP/3 connection at the authority (host, port) present in the request URI will be attempted.

ALT_SVC

public static final HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode ALT_SVC

This instructs the HttpClient to only use the HTTP Alternative Services to find or establish an HTTP/3 connection with the origin server. The exchange may then be carried out with any of the three HTTP protocol versions, depending on whether an Alternate Service record for HTTP/3 could be found, and which HTTP version was negotiated with the origin server, if no such record could be found.

In this mode, requests sent to the origin server will be sent through HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 until a h3 HTTP Alternative Services endpoint for that server is advertised to the client. Usually, an alternate service is advertised by a server when responding to a request, so that subsequent requests can make use of that alternative service.

HTTP_3_URI_ONLY

public static final HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode HTTP_3_URI_ONLY

This instructs the HttpClient to only attempt an HTTP/3 connection with the origin server. The connection will only succeed if the origin server is listening for incoming HTTP/3 connections over QUIC at the same authority (host, port) as defined in the request URI. In this mode, HTTP Alternative Services are not used.

Method Details

values

public static HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:: an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static HttpOption.Http3DiscoveryMode valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:: name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:: the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name; NullPointerException - if the argument is null
