public class HttpVersion
extends Object
implements Comparable

HTTP version, as specified in RFC 2616.

HTTP uses a "<major>.<minor>" numbering scheme to indicate versions of the protocol. The protocol versioning policy is intended to allow the sender to indicate the format of a message and its capacity for understanding further HTTP communication, rather than the features obtained via that communication. No change is made to the version number for the addition of message components which do not affect communication behavior or which only add to extensible field values. The <minor> number is incremented when the changes made to the protocol add features which do not change the general message parsing algorithm, but which may add to the message semantics and imply additional capabilities of the sender. The <major> number is incremented when the format of a message within the protocol is changed. See RFC 2145 [36] for a fuller explanation.

The version of an HTTP message is indicated by an HTTP-Version field in the first line of the message.

     HTTP-Version   = "HTTP" "/" 1*DIGIT "." 1*DIGIT
  

Note that the major and minor numbers MUST be treated as separate integers and that each MAY be incremented higher than a single digit. Thus, HTTP/2.4 is a lower version than HTTP/2.13, which in turn is lower than HTTP/12.3. Leading zeros MUST be ignored by recipients and MUST NOT be sent.

Create an HTTP protocol version designator.

Parameters:

major - the major version number of the HTTP protocol

minor - the minor version number of the HTTP protocol

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if either major or minor version number is negative

Method Detail

getMajor

public int getMajor()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

compareTo

public int compareTo(HttpVersion anotherVer)

Compares this HTTP protocol version with another one.

Parameters:

anotherVer - the version to be compared with.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this version is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified version.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

See Also:

Comparable.compareTo(java.lang.Object)

equals

public boolean equals(HttpVersion version)

Test if the HTTP protocol version is equal to the given number.

Returns:

true if HTTP protocol version is given to the given number, false otherwise.

greaterEquals

public boolean greaterEquals(HttpVersion version)

Test if the HTTP protocol version is greater or equal to the given number.

Returns:

true if HTTP protocol version is greater or equal given to the given number, false otherwise.

lessEquals

public boolean lessEquals(HttpVersion version)

Test if the HTTP protocol version is less or equal to the given number.

Returns:

true if HTTP protocol version is less or equal to given to the given number, false otherwise.

toString

toString in class Object

See Also:

Object.toString()

parse

public static HttpVersion parse(String s)
                         throws ProtocolException

Parses the textual representation of the given HTTP protocol version.

Returns:
