Question

I am currenty using Apache’s HttpComponents including the HttpAsyncClient beta, but I was wondering. How do I set the headers for a HttpAsyncPost?

I currently have:

HttpAsyncPost asyncRequest = new HttpAsyncPost(channel, "id=15846");

But how do I set the headers for this request?

You could use HttpAsyncMethods#create method in order to create an HttpAsyncRequestProducer from an arbitrary HttpUriRequest instance, if you do not mind upgrading to the latest snapshot.

Alternatively, you can override HttpAsyncPost#createRequest() method and add custom headers to the HttpEntityEnclosingRequest instance returned by the super class.

Hope this helps.
