# Low-level HTTP Requests

In addition to the high-level APIs **`.create()`**, **`.read()`**, **`.update()`**, **`.delete()`**, to perform low-level HTTP requests, the Java Client Libraries include:

* [Request.Builder](https://api.docs.inrupt.com/docs/developer-tools/api/java/inrupt-client/latest/com/inrupt/client/Request.Builder.html) to build HTTP requests.
* [Request.BodyPublishers](https://api.docs.inrupt.com/docs/developer-tools/api/java/inrupt-client/latest/com/inrupt/client/Request.BodyPublishers.html) to handle request body payloads.
* **`.send()`** method in [SolidSyncClient](https://api.docs.inrupt.com/docs/developer-tools/api/java/inrupt-client/latest/com/inrupt/client/solid/SolidSyncClient.html) and [SolidClient](https://api.docs.inrupt.com/docs/developer-tools/api/java/inrupt-client/latest/com/inrupt/client/solid/SolidClient.html) to send the request.
* [Response.BodyHandlers](https://api.docs.inrupt.com/docs/developer-tools/api/java/inrupt-client/latest/com/inrupt/client/Response.BodyHandlers.html) to handle response body payloads.

For example, the following uses the Java Client Library to create a **`PUT`** request to save a file to a Pod and send the request:

```java
import com.inrupt.client.Request;
import com.inrupt.client.Response;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
//...

// MultipartFile file = ...

try (final var fileStream = file.getInputStream()) {
    Request request = Request.newBuilder()
       .uri(URI.create("https://storage.example.com/some/resource"))
       .header("Content-Type", file.getContentType())
       .PUT(Request.BodyPublishers.ofInputStream(fileStream))
       .build();
    Response<Void> response = client.send(
       request,
       Response.BodyHandlers.discarding());

} catch (IOException e1) {
    e1.printStackTrace();
}
```
