Interface Connection

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultConnection

public interface Connection
extends AutoCloseable

Connects to the ACME server and offers different methods for invoking the API.

The actual way of communicating with the ACME server is intentionally left open. Implementations could use other means than HTTP, or could mock the communication for unit testing.

sendCertificateRequest

int sendCertificateRequest(URL url,
 Login login)
                    throws AcmeException

AcmeException

sendSignedRequest

int sendSignedRequest(URL url,
 JSONBuilder claims,
 Login login)
               throws AcmeException
