# Interface PushBuilder

@Deprecated public interface PushBuilder
Deprecated.
In favor of 103 early hints
Builds a push request based on the `HttpServletRequest` from which this builder was obtained. The push request will be constructed on the following basis:

- The request method is set to `GET`.
- The path will not be set. This must be set explicitly via a call to `path(String)`.
- Conditional, range, expectation, authorization and referer headers will be removed.
- Cookies added to the associated response will be added to the push request unless maxAge <= 0 in which case any request cookie with the same name will be removed.
- The referer header will be set to `HttpServletRequest.getRequestURL()` plus, if present, the query string from `HttpServletRequest.getQueryString()`.

Since:
  Servlet 4.0

## Method Details

### method

PushBuilder method(String method)
Deprecated.
Specify the HTTP method to use for the push request.

Parameters:
  `method` - The method to use for the push request
Returns:
  This builder instance
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if an HTTP method is specified that is known not to be cacheable and safe. POST, PUT, DELETE, CONNECT, OPTIONS and TRACE will trigger the exception.

### queryString

PushBuilder queryString(String queryString)
Deprecated.
Specifies the query string to use in subsequent push requests generated by a call to `push()`. This will be appended to any query string specified in the call to `path(String)`.

Parameters:
  `queryString` - The query string to use to generate push requests
Returns:
  This builder instance

### sessionId

PushBuilder sessionId(String sessionId)
Deprecated.
Specifies the session ID to use in subsequent push requests generated by a call to `push()`. The session ID will be presented the same way as it is on the original request (cookie or URL parameter). The default is determined in the following order:

- the requested session ID for the originating request
- the session ID generated in the originated request
- `null`

Parameters:
  `sessionId` - The session ID to use to generate push requests
Returns:
  This builder instance

### setHeader

PushBuilder setHeader(String name, String value)
Deprecated.
Sets an HTTP header on the request. Any existing headers of the same name are first remove.

Parameters:
  `name` - The name of the header to set
  `value` - The value of the header to set
Returns:
  This builder instance

### addHeader

PushBuilder addHeader(String name, String value)
Deprecated.
Adds an HTTP header to the request.

Parameters:
  `name` - The name of the header to add
  `value` - The value of the header to add
Returns:
  This builder instance

### removeHeader

PushBuilder removeHeader(String name)
Deprecated.
Removes an HTTP header from the request.

Parameters:
  `name` - The name of the header to remove
Returns:
  This builder instance

### path

PushBuilder path(String path)
Deprecated.
Sets the URI path to be used for the push request. This must be called before every call to `push()`. If the path includes a query string, the query string will be appended to the existing query string (if any) and no de-duplication will occur.

Parameters:
  `path` - Paths beginning with '/' are treated as absolute paths. All other paths are treated as relative to the context path of the request used to create this builder instance. The path may include a query string.
Returns:
  This builder instance

### push

void push()
Deprecated.
Generates the push request and sends it to the client unless pushes are not available for some reason. After calling this method the following fields are set to `null`:

Throws:
  `IllegalStateException` - If this method is called when `path` is `null`
  `IllegalArgumentException` - If the request to push requires a body

### getMethod

Obtain the name of the HTTP method that will be used for push requests generated by future calls to `push()`.

Returns:
  The HTTP method to be used for future push requests

### getQueryString

String getQueryString()
Deprecated.
Obtain the query string that will be used for push requests generated by future calls to `push()`.

Returns:
