Get Response Code and Response Body ina a single request using Http-request

Question

I am using the library http-request, from https://github.com/kevinsawicki/http-request

I need to make a GET request to server and get response code and response body separately, given a request.

How can I do that using this lib?

There is only examples retrieving one of them, like :

String response = HttpRequest.get("http://google.com").body();
System.out.println("Response was: " + response);

and

int response = HttpRequest.get("http://google.com").code();

Answer 1

Store the HttpRequest object in a variable

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.get("http://google.com");

Invoke what you need

request.body();
request.code();

(It's weird to get the response body on a request object...I don't like this library.)
