Handling Responses

Every call to the HTTP client returns an HttpResponse<T>. The generic type T is decided by the BodyHandler you pass in. This lesson explores the available handlers and how to interpret status codes.

Key methods on HttpResponse:

• statusCode() — the int status.
• body() — the decoded body of type T.
• headers() — response headers.
• uri() — the final URI (after redirects).
• version() — HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2.
