InternetHeaders

public class InternetHeaders extends Object
InternetHeaders is a utility class that manages RFC822 style headers. Given an RFC822 format message stream, it reads lines until the blank line that indicates end of header. The input stream is positioned at the start of the body. The lines are stored within the object and can be extracted as either Strings or {@link javax.mail.Header} objects.

This class is mostly intended for service providers. MimeMessage and MimeBody use this class for holding their headers.


A note on RFC822 and MIME headers

RFC822 and MIME header fields must contain only US-ASCII characters. If a header contains non US-ASCII characters, it must be encoded as per the rules in RFC 2047. The MimeUtility class provided in this package can be used to to achieve this. Callers of the setHeader, addHeader, and addHeaderLine methods are responsible for enforcing the MIME requirements for the specified headers. In addition, these header fields must be folded (wrapped) before being sent if they exceed the line length limitation for the transport (1000 bytes for SMTP). Received headers may have been folded. The application is responsible for folding and unfolding headers as appropriate.

Fields Summary
protected List
headers
The actual list of Headers, including placeholder entries. Placeholder entries are Headers with a null value and are never seen by clients of the InternetHeaders class. Placeholder entries are used to keep track of the preferred order of headers. Headers are never actually removed from the list, they're converted into placeholder entries. New headers are added after existing headers of the same name (or before in the case of Received and Return-Path headers). If no existing header or placeholder for the header is found, new headers are added after the special placeholder with the name ":".
Constructors Summary
public InternetHeaders()
Create an empty InternetHeaders object. Placeholder entries are inserted to indicate the preferred order of headers.

 
   	headers = new ArrayList(40); 
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Return-Path", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Received", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Resent-Date", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Resent-From", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Resent-Sender", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Resent-To", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Resent-Cc", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Resent-Bcc", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Resent-Message-Id", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Date", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("From", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Sender", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Reply-To", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("To", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Cc", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Bcc", null));

	headers.add(new InternetHeader(":", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Content-Length", null));
	headers.add(new InternetHeader("Status", null));
    
public InternetHeaders(InputStream is)
Read and parse the given RFC822 message stream till the blank line separating the header from the body. The input stream is left positioned at the start of the body. The header lines are stored internally.

For efficiency, wrap a BufferedInputStream around the actual input stream and pass it as the parameter.

No placeholder entries are inserted; the original order of the headers is preserved.

param
is RFC822 input stream

   	headers = new ArrayList(40); 
	load(is);
    
Methods Summary
public voidaddHeader(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String value)
Add a header with the specified name and value to the header list.

The current implementation knows about the preferred order of most well-known headers and will insert headers in that order. In addition, it knows that Received headers should be inserted in reverse order (newest before oldest), and that they should appear at the beginning of the headers, preceeded only by a possible Return-Path header.

Note that RFC822 headers can only contain US-ASCII characters.

param
name header name
param
value header value

	int pos = headers.size();
	boolean addReverse =
	    name.equalsIgnoreCase("Received") ||
	    name.equalsIgnoreCase("Return-Path");
	if (addReverse)
	    pos = 0;
	for (int i = headers.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
	    InternetHeader h = (InternetHeader)headers.get(i);
	    if (name.equalsIgnoreCase(h.getName())) {
		if (addReverse) {
		    pos = i;
		} else {
		    headers.add(i + 1, new InternetHeader(name, value));
		    return;
		}
	    }
	    // marker for default place to add new headers
	    if (h.getName().equals(":"))
		pos = i;
	}
	headers.add(pos, new InternetHeader(name, value));
    
public voidaddHeaderLine(java.lang.String line)
Add an RFC822 header line to the header store. If the line starts with a space or tab (a continuation line), add it to the last header line in the list. Otherwise, append the new header line to the list.

Note that RFC822 headers can only contain US-ASCII characters

param
line raw RFC822 header line

	try {
	    char c = line.charAt(0);
	    if (c == ' " || c == '\t") {
		InternetHeader h =
		    (InternetHeader)headers.get(headers.size() - 1);
		h.line += "\r\n" + line;
	    } else
		headers.add(new InternetHeader(line));
	} catch (StringIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
	    // line is empty, ignore it

	} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
	    // XXX - vector is empty?
	}

	    if (name.equalsIgnoreCase(h.getName()) && h.line != null) {
		v.add(h.getValue());
	    }
	}
	if (v.size() == 0)
	    return (null);
	// convert List to an array for return
	String r[] = new String[v.size()];
	r = (String[])v.toArray(r);
	return (r);
    
public java.lang.StringgetHeader(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String delimiter)
