Class MultiPart

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jetty.http.MultiPart

public class MultiPart
extends Object

Namespace class for interrelated classes that provide support for parsing and generating multipart bytes.

Most applications should make use of MultiPartFormData or MultiPartByteRanges as they provide a simpler API.

Multipart parsing is provided by MultiPart.Parser.

Multipart generation is provided by MultiPart.AbstractContentSource and its subclasses.

A single part of a multipart content is represented by MultiPart.Part and its subclasses.

• MultiPartFormData
• MultiPartByteRanges

public static String extractBoundary(String contentType)

Extracts the value of the boundary parameter from the Content-Type header value, or returns null if the boundary parameter is missing.

Parameters:

contentType - the Content-Type header value

Returns:

the value of the boundary parameter, or null if the boundary parameter is missing

generateBoundary

public static String generateBoundary(String prefix,
 int randomLength)

Generates a multipart boundary, made of the given optional prefix string and the given number of random characters.

The total length of the boundary will be trimmed to at most 70 characters, as specified in RFC 2046.

Parameters:

prefix - a possibly null prefix

randomLength - a number of random characters to add after the prefix

Returns:

a boundary string
