Interface AttachmentHandler

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

CollectingAttachmentHandler

public interface AttachmentHandler
extends Serializable

A handler for attachments, which represent pages received from the server which contain Content-Disposition=attachment headers. Normally pages are loaded inline: clicking on a link, for example, loads the linked page in the current window. Attached pages are different in that they are intended to be loaded outside of this flow: clicking on a link prompts the user to either save the linked page, or open it outside of the current window, but does not load the page in the current window.

HtmlUnit complies with the semantics described above when an AttachmentHandler has been registered with the WebClient via WebClient.setAttachmentHandler(AttachmentHandler). When no attachment handler has been registered with the WebClient, the semantics described above to not apply, and attachments are loaded inline. By default, AttachmentHandlers are not registered with new WebClient instances.
