Method Source Code

//package com.java2s;

public class Main {
    /**/*from   w  w  w.j  ava 2  s  . c  o  m*/
     * Gets the content type string suitable for the 
     * <code>java.net.URLConnection</code> which includes the multipart 
     * boundary string.  <br />
     * <br />
     * This method is static because, due to the nature of the 
     * <code>java.net.URLConnection</code> class, once the output stream 
     * for the connection is acquired, it's too late to set the content 
     * type (or any other request parameter).  So one has to create a 
     * multipart boundary string first before using this class, such as 
     * with the <code>createBoundary()</code> method.  
     * 
     * @param  boundary  the boundary string
     * @return  the content type string
     * @see  #createBoundary()
     */
    public static String getContentType(String boundary) {
        return "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary;
    }
