Class MultipartInput
This class can be used to process data streams conforming to MIME 'multipart' format as defined in RFC 1867. Arbitrarily large amounts of data in the stream can be processed under constant memory usage.
The format of the stream is defined in the following way:
multipart-body := preamble 1*encapsulation close-delimiter epilogue
encapsulation := delimiter body CRLF
delimiter := "--" boundary CRLF
close-delimiter := "--" boundary "--"
preamble := <ignore>
epilogue := <ignore>
body := header-part CRLF body-part
header-part := 1*header CRLF
header := header-name ":" header-value
header-name := <printable ASCII characters except ":">
header-value := <any ASCII characters except CR & LF>
body-data := <arbitrary data>
Note that body-data can contain another mulipart entity. There is limited support for single pass processing of such nested streams. The nested stream is
required to have a boundary token of the same length as the parent stream (see setBoundary(byte[])).
Here is an example of usage of this class:
try {
MultipartInput multipartStream = MultipartInput.builder()
.setBoundary(boundary)
.setInputStream(input)
.get();
boolean nextPart = multipartStream.skipPreamble();
OutputStream output;
while (nextPart) {
String header = multipartStream.readHeaders();
// process headers
// create some output stream
multipartStream.readBodyData(output);
nextPart = multipartStream.readBoundary();
}
} catch (MultipartInput.MalformedStreamException e) {
// the stream failed to follow required syntax
} catch (IOException e) {
// a read or write error occurred
}

Method Details
-
builder
Constructs a newMultipartInput.Builder.- Returns:
- a new
MultipartInput.Builder.
-
discardBodyData
Readsbody-datafrom the currentencapsulationand discards it.Use this method to skip encapsulations you don't need or don't understand.
- Returns:
- The amount of data discarded.
- Throws:
MultipartInput.MalformedStreamException- if the stream ends unexpectedly.IOException- if an i/o error occurs.
-
findByte
Searches for a byte of specified value in thebuffer, starting at the specifiedposition.- Parameters:
value- The value to find.pos- The starting position for searching.- Returns:
- The position of byte found, counting from beginning of the
buffer, or-1if not found.
-
findSeparator
Searches for theboundaryin thebufferregion delimited byheadandtail.- Returns:
- The position of the boundary found, counting from the beginning of the
buffer, or-1if not found.
-
getHeaderCharset
Gets the character encoding used when reading the headers of an individual part. When not specified, ornull, the platform default encoding is used.- Returns:
- The encoding used to read part headers.
-
newInputStream
Creates a newMultipartInput.ItemInputStream.- Returns:
- A new instance of
MultipartInput.ItemInputStream.
-
readBodyData
public long readBodyData(OutputStream output) throws MultipartInput.MalformedStreamException, IOException Readsbody-datafrom the currentencapsulationand writes its contents into the outputStream.Arbitrary large amounts of data can be processed by this method using a constant size buffer. (see
builder()).- Parameters:
output- TheStreamto write data into. May be null, in which case this method is equivalent todiscardBodyData().- Returns:
- the amount of data written.
- Throws:
MultipartInput.MalformedStreamException- if the stream ends unexpectedly.IOException- if an i/o error occurs.
-
readBoundary
public boolean readBoundary() throws FileUploadSizeException, MultipartInput.MalformedStreamExceptionSkips aboundarytoken, and checks whether moreencapsulationsare contained in the stream.- Returns:
trueif there are more encapsulations in this stream;falseotherwise.- Throws:
FileUploadSizeException- if the bytes read from the stream exceeded the size limitsMultipartInput.MalformedStreamException- if the stream ends unexpectedly or fails to follow required syntax.
-
readByte
Reads a byte from thebuffer, and refills it as necessary.- Returns:
- The next byte from the input stream.
- Throws:
IOException- if there is no more data available.
-
readHeaders
Reads theheader-partof the currentencapsulation.Headers are returned verbatim to the input stream, including the trailing
CRLFmarker. Parsing is left to the application.- Returns:
- The
header-partof the current encapsulation. - Throws:
FileUploadSizeException- if the bytes read from the stream exceeded the size limits.MultipartInput.MalformedStreamException- if the stream ends unexpectedly.
-
setBoundary
Changes the boundary token used for partitioning the stream.This method allows single pass processing of nested multipart streams.
The boundary token of the nested stream is
requiredto be of the same length as the boundary token in parent stream.Restoring the parent stream boundary token after processing of a nested stream is left to the application.
- Parameters:
boundary- The boundary to be used for parsing of the nested stream.- Throws:
MultipartInput.FileUploadBoundaryException- if theboundaryhas a different length than the one being currently parsed.
-
setHeaderCharset
Sets the character encoding to be used when reading the headers of individual parts. When not specified, ornull, the platform default encoding is used.- Parameters:
headerCharset- The encoding used to read part headers.
-
skipPreamble
Finds the beginning of the firstencapsulation.- Returns:
trueif anencapsulationwas found in the stream.- Throws:
IOException- if an i/o error occurs.
