Response

A Response contains information about the response that the server sent back. This class is not meant to be configured directly. It must be configured using its static class ResponseBuilder.

WARNING

DO NOT build this manually. The Request class's sendRequest() method will generate the Response for you.

Attributes

The following are the fields of the Response class:

name	type	Description
code	int	The HTTP Response status code
content	byte[]	The content within the http request
contentType	String	The Content-Type of the Content-Body
contentRange	ContentRange	The Content-Range of the Content-Body
location	String	A location path. Usually returned when response is a redirection response or 201 created.

NOTE

content was changed from String to byte[] to allow for raw video data to be received.
