| The client-side route representation and tracking API, part of <i>HttpConn</i>. |
| |
| <p> |
| An {@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.HttpRoute HttpRoute} |
| is the path along which a request has to be sent to the server. |
| The route starts at a local network address and may pass |
| through one or more proxies before reaching the target. |
| Routes through proxies can be tunnelled, and a layered protocol (TLS/SSL) |
| might be put on top of the tunnel. |
| The {@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.RouteTracker RouteTracker} |
| helps in tracking the steps for establishing a route, while an |
| {@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.HttpRouteDirector HttpRouteDirector} |
| determines the next step to take. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| The {@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.HttpRoutePlanner HttpRoutePlanner} |
| is responsible for determining a route to a given target host. |
| Implementations must know about proxies to use, and about exemptions |
| for hosts that should be contacted directly without a proxy. |
