I am trying to download a PDF file with HttpClient. I am able to get the file but i am not sure how to convert the bytes into aa PDF and store it somewhere on the system
I have the following code, How can I store it as a PDF?
public ???? getFile(String url) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException{
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpget);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
long len = entity.getContentLength();
InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent();
// How do I write it?
}
return null;
}
InputStream is = entity.getContent();
String filePath = "sample.txt";
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(filePath));
int inByte;
while((inByte = is.read()) != -1)
fos.write(inByte);
is.close();
fos.close();
EDIT:
you can also use BufferedOutputStream and BufferedInputStream for faster download:
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(entity.getContent());
String filePath = "sample.txt";
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File(filePath)));
int inByte;
while((inByte = bis.read()) != -1) bos.write(inByte);
bis.close();
bos.close();
Just for the record there are better (easier) ways of doing the same
File myFile = new File("mystuff.bin");
CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.createDefault();
try (CloseableHttpResponse response = client.execute(new HttpGet("http://host/stuff"))) {
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
try (FileOutputStream outstream = new FileOutputStream(myFile)) {
entity.writeTo(outstream);
}
}
}
Or with the fluent API if one likes it better
Request.Get("http://host/stuff").execute().saveContent(myFile);
Here is a simple solution using IOUtils.copy()
:
File targetFile = new File("foo.pdf");
if (entity != null) {
InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent();
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(targetFile);
IOUtils.copy(inputStream, outputStream);
outputStream.close();
}
return targetFile;
IOUtils.copy()
is great because it handles buffering. However this solution is not very scalable:
Much more scalable solution involves two functions:
public void downloadFile(String url, OutputStream target) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException{
//...
if (entity != null) {
//...
InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent();
IOUtils.copy(inputStream, target);
}
}
And a helper method:
public void downloadAndSaveToFile(String url, File targetFile) {
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(targetFile);
downloadFile(url, outputStream);
outputStream.close();
}
Using dependency org.apache.httpcomponents:fluent-hc
:
Request.Get(url).execute().saveContent(file);
Request is from org.apache.http.client.fluent.Request
.
In my case I needed a stream, this is equally simple:
inputStream = Request.Get(url).execute().returnContent().asStream();
If you are using Java 7+, you can use the native Files.copy(InputStream in, Path target, CopyOption... options) , eg:
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
try (InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent()) {
Files.copy(inputStream, Paths.get(filePathString), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
}
打开一个FileOutputStream
并将inputStream
的字节保存到它。
You can also use Apache http client fluent API
Executor executor = Executor.newInstance().auth(new HttpHost(host), "user", "password");
executor.execute(Request.Get(url.toURI()).connectTimeout(1000)).saveContent("C:/temp/somefile");
