HttpUriRequest request = ...;  
  
HttpResponse response =httpClient.execute(request);  
  
// 從response中取出HttpEntity物件   
  
HttpEntity entity =response.getEntity();  
  
// 檢視entity的各種指標   
  
System.out.println(entity.getContentType());  
  
System.out.println(entity.getContentLength());  
  
System.out.println(EntityUtils.getContentCharSet(entity));  
  
// 取出伺服器返回的資料流   
  
InputStream stream =entity.getContent();  
 

或者採用如下的介面方式httpClient.execute(request,new ResponseHandler<T> response)進行呼叫，它的返回值直接對應的即為使用者自己想獲取的資料的型別及值。

具體例項解析，通過下述方法，即可獲取到指定url的頁面內容。

public static String executeStringByGet(String url, final Charset charset) {  
  
        String result = "";  
  
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();  
  
        HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url);  
  
         
  
        try {  
  
            result = client.execute(get, new ResponseHandler<String>() {  
  
                @Override  
  
                public String handleResponse(HttpResponse response) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {  
  
                    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();  
  
                    if(entity != null) {
