I`m writing some Rest client on Android and I met a problem - I have no idea how to make HEAD and OPTIONS requests.
There are no problems with GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH requests in OkHttp3, basically they looks like:
request = new Request.Builder()
.url(url)
.headers(headerBuilder.build())
.post(bodyBuilder.build())
.build();
And OkHttp3 doesnt provide additional methods like head() or option().
So how can I make HEAD and OPTIONS requests using OkHttp3?
Found answer, may be it will be useful for someone else
OkHttp3 still has method
Builder method(String method, RequestBody body)
So OPTIONS requests looks like
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(url)
.headers(headerBuilder.build())
.method("OPTIONS",requestBody)
.build();
same for HEAD
It appears (at least in the current implementation, API 3.12.0), HEAD request can be made just like GET and others:
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(url)
.head()
.build();
OPTION still has to be implemented using .method()
