ConnectionRequest (Codename One API)

java.lang.Object
- com.codename1.io.ConnectionRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:

IOProgressListener

Direct Known Subclasses:

AdsService, CachedDataService, GZConnectionRequest, ImageDownloadService, MultipartRequest, RSSService, TwitterRESTService
```
public class ConnectionRequest
extends Object
implements IOProgressListener
```
This class represents a connection object in the form of a request response typically common for HTTP/HTTPS connections. A connection request is added to the NetworkManager for processing in a queue on one of the network threads. You can read more about networking in Codename One here

The sample code below fetches a page of data from the nestoria housing listing API.
You can see instructions on how to display the data in the InfiniteScrollAdapter class. You can read more about networking in Codename One here.

```
protected void checkSSLCertificates(ConnectionRequest.SSLCertificate[] certificates)
```
    A callback that can be overridden by subclasses to check the SSL certificates for the server, and kill the connection if they don't pass muster. This can be used for SSL pinning.
    NOTE: This method will only be called if isCheckSSLCertificates() is true and the platform supports SSL certificates (canGetSSLCertificates().
    
    WARNING: On iOS it is possible that certificates for a request would not be available even through the platform supports it, and checking certificates are enabled. This could happen if the certificates had been cached by the TLS cache by some network mechanism other than ConnectionRequest (e.g. native code, websockets, etc..). In such cases this method would receive an empty array as a parameter.
    
    This is called after the SSL handshake, but before any data has been sent.
    
    Parameters:
    
    certificates - The server's SSL certificates.

    A callback method that's invoked on the EDT after the readResponse() method has finished, this is the place where developers should change their Codename One user interface to avoid race conditions that might be triggered by modifications within readResponse. Notice this method is only invoked on a successful response and will not be invoked in case of a failure.

    Returns:
    
    true if the request is paused or killed
  - isPausable
```
protected boolean isPausable()
```
    Return true from this method if this connection can be paused and resumed later on. A pausable network operation receives a "pause" invocation and is expected to stop network operations as soon as possible. It will later on receive a resume() call and optionally start downloading again.
    
    Returns:
    
    false by default.
  - pause
```
public boolean pause()
```
    Invoked to pause this opeation, this method will only be invoked if isPausable() returns true (its false by default). After this method is invoked current network operations should be stoped as soon as possible for this class.
    
    Returns:
    
    This method can return false to indicate that there is no need to resume this method since the operation has already been completed or made redundant
  - resume
```
public boolean resume()
```
    Called when a previously paused operation now has the networking time to resume. Assuming this method returns true, the network request will be resent to the server and the operation can resume.

    Returns:
    
    the post

```
public void setPost(boolean post)
```
    Set to true for a post operation and false for a get operation, this will implicitly set the method to post/get respectively (which you can change back by setting the method). The main importance of this method is how arguments are added to the request (within the body or in the URL) and so it is important to invoke this method before any argument was added.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if invoked after an addArgument call

  - fireResponseListener

protected void fireResponseListener(ActionEvent ev)

  - isDuplicateSupported
```
public boolean isDuplicateSupported()
```
    Indicates whether this connection request supports duplicate entries in the request queue
    
    Returns:
    
    the duplicateSupported value
  - setDuplicateSupported
```
public void setDuplicateSupported(boolean duplicateSupported)
```
    Indicates whether this connection request supports duplicate entries in the request queue
    
    Parameters:
    
    duplicateSupported - the duplicateSupported to set
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable. The general contract of hashCode is: Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application. If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result. It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables. As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the JavaTM programming language.)
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. The equals method implements an equivalence relation: It is reflexive: for any reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true. It is symmetric: for any reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true. It is transitive: for any reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true. It is consistent: for any reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false. The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x==y has the value true).

  - validate
```
protected void validate()
```
    Validates that the request has the required information before being added to the queue e.g. checks if the URL is null. This method should throw an IllegalStateException for a case where one of the values required for this connection request is missing. This method can be overriden by subclasses to add additional tests. It is usefull to do tests here since the exception will be thrown immediately when invoking addToQueue which is more intuitive to debug than the alternative.

  - setUseNativeCookieStore
```
public static void setUseNativeCookieStore(boolean b)
```
    Indicates whether the native Cookie stores should be used
    NOTE: If the platform doesn't support Native Cookie sharing, then this method will have no effect. Use isNativeCookieSharingSupported()} to check if the platform supports native cookie sharing at runtime.
    
    Parameters:
    
    b - true to enable native cookie stores when applicable
  - isNativeCookieSharingSupported
```
public static boolean isNativeCookieSharingSupported()
```
    Checks if the platform supports sharing cookies between the native components (e.g. BrowserComponent) and ConnectionRequests. Currently only iOS and Android support this.
    If the platform does not support native cookie sharing, then methods like setUseNativeCookieStore(boolean) will have no effect.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the platform supports native cookie sharing.
