Class GzipDownloadPlugIn

java.lang.Object
  org.clapper.curn.plugins.GzipDownloadPlugIn

All Implemented Interfaces:

FeedConfigItemPlugIn, MainConfigItemPlugIn, PlugIn, PreFeedDownloadPlugIn

public class GzipDownloadPlugIn
extends java.lang.Object
implements MainConfigItemPlugIn, FeedConfigItemPlugIn, PreFeedDownloadPlugIn

The GzipDownloadPlugIn handles setting the global and per-feed HTTP header that requests gzipped (compressed) feed data (assuming the remote server honors that header). It intercepts the following configuration parameters:

Section	Parameter	Meaning
[curn]	GzipDownload	The global default setting, if none is supplied in individual feed sections. Defaults to true.
[Feedxxx]	GzipDownload	Whether or not to ask for gzipped data for a particular feed. Defaults to the global setting if not specified.

$Revision: 6491 $

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getPlugInName() Get a displayable name for the plug-in.

void	initPlugIn() Initialize the plug-in.
boolean	runFeedConfigItemPlugIn(java.lang.String sectionName, java.lang.String paramName, CurnConfig config, FeedInfo feedInfo) Called immediately after curn has read and processed a configuration item in a "feed" configuration section.
void	runMainConfigItemPlugIn(java.lang.String sectionName, java.lang.String paramName, CurnConfig config) Called immediately after curn has read and processed a configuration item in the main [curn] configuration section.
boolean	runPreFeedDownloadPlugIn(FeedInfo feedInfo, java.net.URLConnection urlConn) Called just before a feed is downloaded.

Constructor Detail

GzipDownloadPlugIn

public GzipDownloadPlugIn()

Default constructor (required).

Method Detail

getPlugInName

public java.lang.String getPlugInName()

Get a displayable name for the plug-in.

Specified by:

getPlugInName in interface PlugIn

Returns:

the name

getPlugInSortKey

public java.lang.String getPlugInSortKey()

Get the sort key for this plug-in.

Specified by:

getPlugInSortKey in interface PlugIn

Returns:

the sort key string.

initPlugIn

public void initPlugIn()
                throws CurnException

Initialize the plug-in. This method is called before any of the plug-in methods are called.

Specified by:

initPlugIn in interface PlugIn

Throws:

CurnException - on error

runMainConfigItemPlugIn

public void runMainConfigItemPlugIn(java.lang.String sectionName,
                                    java.lang.String paramName,
                                    CurnConfig config)
                             throws CurnException

Called immediately after curn has read and processed a configuration item in the main [curn] configuration section. All configuration items are passed, one by one, to each loaded plug-in. If a plug-in class is not interested in a particular configuration item, this method should simply return without doing anything. Note that some configuration items may simply be variable assignment; there's no real way to distinguish a variable assignment from a blessed configuration item.

Specified by:

runMainConfigItemPlugIn in interface MainConfigItemPlugIn

Parameters:

sectionName - the name of the configuration section where the item was found

paramName - the name of the parameter

config - the CurnConfig object

Throws:

CurnException - on error

runFeedConfigItemPlugIn

public boolean runFeedConfigItemPlugIn(java.lang.String sectionName,
                                       java.lang.String paramName,
                                       CurnConfig config,
                                       FeedInfo feedInfo)
                                throws CurnException

Called immediately after curn has read and processed a configuration item in a "feed" configuration section. All configuration items are passed, one by one, to each loaded plug-in. If a plug-in class is not interested in a particular configuration item, this method should simply return without doing anything. Note that some configuration items may simply be variable assignment; there's no real way to distinguish a variable assignment from a blessed configuration item.

Specified by:

runFeedConfigItemPlugIn in interface FeedConfigItemPlugIn

Parameters:

sectionName - the name of the configuration section where the item was found

paramName - the name of the parameter

config - the active configuration

feedInfo - partially complete FeedInfo object for the feed. The URL is guaranteed to be present, but no other fields are.

Returns:

true to continue processing the feed, false to skip it

Throws:

CurnException - on error

CurnConfig, FeedInfo, FeedInfo.getURL()

runPreFeedDownloadPlugIn

public boolean runPreFeedDownloadPlugIn(FeedInfo feedInfo,
                                        java.net.URLConnection urlConn)
                                 throws CurnException

Called just before a feed is downloaded. This method can return false to signal curn that the feed should be skipped. The plug-in method can also set values on the URLConnection used to download the plug-in, via URL.setRequestProperty(). (Note that all URLs, even file: URLs, are passed into this method. Setting a request property on the URLConnection object for a file: URL will have no effect--though it isn't specifically harmful.)

Possible uses for a pre-feed download plug-in include:

• filtering on feed URL to prevent downloading non-matching feeds
• changing the default User-Agent value
• setting a non-standard HTTP header field

Specified by:

runPreFeedDownloadPlugIn in interface PreFeedDownloadPlugIn

Parameters:

feedInfo - the FeedInfo object for the feed to be downloaded

urlConn - the java.net.URLConnection object that will be used to download the feed's XML.

Returns:

true if curn should continue to process the feed, false to skip the feed

Throws:

CurnException - on error
