Method Details
- get
  
  Future<Response> get()
  
  Invoke HTTP GET method for the current request asynchronously.
  Note that calling the Future.get() method on the returned Future instance may throw an ExecutionException that wraps a ProcessingException thrown in case of an invocation processing failure. Note that in case a processing of a properly received response fails, the wrapped processing exception will be of ResponseProcessingException type and will contain the Response instance whose processing has failed.
  
  Returns:
  
  invocation response future.
- get
