package com.ning.http.client;

/**
 * An asynchronous handler or callback which gets invoked as soon as some data is available when
 * processing an asynchronous response.

 * Callback methods get invoked in the following order:
 * 
 * {@link #onStatusReceived(HttpResponseStatus)},
 * {@link #onHeadersReceived(HttpResponseHeaders)},
 * {@link #onBodyPartReceived(HttpResponseBodyPart)}, which could be invoked multiple times,
 * {@link #onCompleted()}, once the response has been fully read.
 * 
 * 
 * Returning a {@link AsyncHandler.STATE#ABORT} from any of those callback methods will interrupt asynchronous response
 * processing, after that only {@link #onCompleted()} is going to be called.
 * 

 * 

 * AsyncHandler aren't thread safe, hence you should avoid re-using the same instance when doing concurrent requests.
 * As an exmaple, the following may produce unexpected results:
 * 
 *   AsyncHandler ah = new AsyncHandler() {....};
 *   AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
 *   client.prepareGet("http://...").execute(ah);
 *   client.prepareGet("http://...").execute(ah);
 * 
 * It is recommended to create a new instance instead.
 *
 * @param  Type of object returned by the {@link java.util.concurrent.Future#get}
