Class LowLevelHttpRequest

java.lang.Object

com.google.api.client.http.LowLevelHttpRequest

Direct Known Subclasses:

MockLowLevelHttpRequest

public abstract class LowLevelHttpRequest
extends Object

Low-level HTTP request.

This allows providing a different implementation of the HTTP request that is more compatible with the Java environment used.

Implementation has no fields and therefore thread-safe, but sub-classes are not necessarily thread-safe.
