I have just started using the Jetty HttpClient v11 and it is great. However, inherent support for path params or route params seem to be missing, although it has a nice way to add query params.
Path param example:
https://localhost:8080/api/users/{id}
Not sure if it is there and I missed it but I am seeking a way to achieve it. So, if someone has done it and created a well tested small (zero external dependencies) utility/library for that, then please point it out to me.
Update:
Just to provide a context here like what am I trying to achieve.
Consider this JAX-RS resource method.
@Path("/users/{id}")
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public User getUser(@PathParam("id") String id) {
return this.userRepository.findOneById(id);
}
We can get the value of {id} using the annotation @PathParam.
Similarly I wanted to provide a way in the RestClient I wrote on top of Jetty HttpClient where consumer could do something.
Request jettyRequest = jettyClient.newRequest("https://apiserver.com/api/users/{id}")
.pathParam("id", 1234)
.method("GET");
I was just looking for the same in HttpClient, I know this can be done before passing the URI to the newRequest method here.
