XmlRpcClientConnection

```
public interface XmlRpcClientConnection
```
A connection from a client to a server.
The methods in this interface must be called in the following order:
1. setOutputContentLength, setKeepAlive, setGzip
2. getOutputStream
3. getInputStream
4. getInputContentLength, isServerKeepAlive, isInputGzipped
5. close
If isServerKeepAlive returns true then the caller can go back to the start rather than calling close

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`close()` Closes the connection to the server.
`int`	`getInputContentLength()`
`java.io.InputStream`	`getInputStream()`
`java.io.OutputStream`	`getOutputStream()` Returns an `OutputStream` on which the request can be written.
`boolean`	`isInputGzipped()`
`boolean`	`isServerKeepAlive()`
`void`	`setGzip(boolean gzip)` Sets whether or not the server should be informed that the request will be gzip encoded.
`void`	`setKeepAlive(boolean keepAlive)` Sets whether or not the server will be asked to make the connection persistent.
`void`	`setOutputContentLength(int contentLength)` Sets the number of bytes that will be written, i.e.

- Method Detail
  - setOutputContentLength
```
void setOutputContentLength(int contentLength)
```
    Sets the number of bytes that will be written, i.e. the size of the request.
    
    Parameters:
    contentLength - the number of bytes that will be written
  - setKeepAlive
```
void setKeepAlive(boolean keepAlive)
```
    Sets whether or not the server will be asked to make the connection persistent.
    
    Parameters:
    keepAlive - true, to make the connection persistent
  - setGzip
```
void setGzip(boolean gzip)
```
    Sets whether or not the server should be informed that the request will be gzip encoded. Note that this does not cause the request to be gzip encoded; that must be done by the caller.
    
    Parameters:
    gzip - true to gzip!
  - getOutputStream
```
java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                     throws java.io.IOException
```
    Returns an OutputStream on which the request can be written. The request should be completely written and the OutputStream closed before calling getInputStream.
    
    Returns:
    an OutputStream on which the request can be written
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - for the same reasons, any Stream causes an IOException
  - getInputStream
```
java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException
```
    Returns:
    an InputStream from which the result can be read.
    Throws: java.io.IOException - for the same reasons, any Stream causes an IOException
  getInputContentLength int getInputContentLength() Returns: the number of bytes in the response. isServerKeepAlive boolean isServerKeepAlive() Returns: whether the server has agreed to make the connection persistent. If this returns true then getOutputStream may be called again, otherwise close must be called. isInputGzipped boolean isInputGzipped() Returns: whether the response is gzip encoded. If it is then the caller must decode it. close void close() throws java.io.IOException Closes the connection to the server. Throws: java.io.IOException - in case of an IO Error.
