Constructors
HTTPStreamFactory
Creates the HTTPStreamFactory.
HTTPStreamFactory
HTTPStreamFactory(
const std::string & proxyHost,
Poco::UInt16 proxyPort = HTTPSession::HTTP_PORT
);
Creates the HTTPStreamFactory.
HTTP connections will use the given proxy.
HTTPStreamFactory
HTTPStreamFactory(
const std::string & proxyHost,
Poco::UInt16 proxyPort,
const std::string & proxyUsername,
const std::string & proxyPassword
);
Creates the HTTPStreamFactory.
HTTP connections will use the given proxy and will be authorized against the proxy using Basic authentication with the given proxyUsername and proxyPassword.
Destructor
~HTTPStreamFactory 
virtual ~HTTPStreamFactory();
Destroys the HTTPStreamFactory.
Member Functions
open
virtual std::istream * open(
const Poco::URI & uri
);
Creates and opens a HTTP stream for the given URI. The URI must be a http://... URI.
Throws a NetException if anything goes wrong.
Redirect responses are handled and the redirect location is automatically resolved, as long as the redirect location is still accessible via the HTTP protocol. If a redirection to a non http://... URI is received, a UnsupportedRedirectException exception is thrown. The offending URI can then be obtained via the message() method of UnsupportedRedirectException.
registerFactory 
static void registerFactory();
Registers the HTTPStreamFactory with the default URIStreamOpener instance.
unregisterFactory
static void unregisterFactory();
Unregisters the HTTPStreamFactory with the default URIStreamOpener instance.
