I have this method to connect to my webservice (REST API)
public static void getHttpCon() throws Exception{
String tokenUrl = AppPropertiesService.getProperty( URL_TOKEN );
String username = AppPropertiesService.getProperty( USERNAME );
String password = AppPropertiesService.getProperty( PASSWORD );
String POST_PARAMS = "username="+username+"&password="+password+"&lang=fr&grant_type=password&client_id=apiclient";
URL obj = new URL(tokenUrl);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json;odata=verbose");
con.setRequestProperty("Authorization",
"Basic Base64_encoded_clientId:clientSecret");
con.setRequestProperty("Accept",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
// For POST only - START
con.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream os = con.getOutputStream();
os.write(POST_PARAMS.getBytes());
os.flush();
os.close();
// For POST only - END
int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
System.out.println("POST Response Code :: " + responseCode);
if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) { //success
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
con.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
response.append(inputLine);
}
in.close();
// print result
System.out.println(response.toString());
} else {
System.out.println("POST request not worked");
}
}
I want to know how can i POSTa CSV File .
Should I do it directly in my method above ?
Do I have to create a new method by recovering the connection token from my method above?
My API ULR is POST /api/{id}/csv
This line conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie",cookieHeader); wont reed cookieHeader if i manualy pass in the string like this conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", "ci_session=5dsjqh39nkj7nm98nokrukoesr6iir67"); then it works fine, anny idea why this dos not work?

I found the solution.. Just added this line: CookieHandler.setDefault(new CookieManager()); to getcookieHeader() under authCon.connect(); and removed
conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookieHeader);
With CookieHandler.setDefault(new CookieManager()); HttpURLConnection will automatically save any cookies it receives and send them back with the next request to the same host.
Ive done a service that should download a excelfile and pass in on to the user.
The download method:
private void fetchCompanyInfo(int id) throws IOException{
URL url = new URL("https://xxxxxxxxxx");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
String query = "ID="+java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(id),"UTF-8");
String cookie = "";
for (String tmp: this.cookies)
{
System.out.println(tmp);
cookie += tmp.split(";")[0] + ";";
System.out.println(cookie);
}
con.setRequestProperty(COOKIE, cookie);
System.out.println("this is the cookie: " + cookie);
con.setRequestProperty("Content-length", String.valueOf(query.length()));
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0;Windows98;DigExt)");
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.setDoInput(true);
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream());
out.write(query);
out.close();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String receive = "";
do {
String line = in.readLine();
if (line == null)
break;
receive += line;
} while (true);
in.close();
excel = receive;
System.out.println(receive);
}
And this is the controller:
#RequestMapping(value="/test", produces="application/x-msexcel")
public CompanyInfo test() throws IOException {
return new CompanyInfo();
}
The response from the site im calling returns an
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=Company123.xls;
Content-Type: Application/x-msexcel
So I just want to forward that attachment
I want to make java program to download a file from website, but i'm stuck in following situation. When I run the following code logging to page gets done successfully, but after it is done, when I send request for the next page, it shows response code 500.

500 means "Internal server error" (see HTTP codes and their meaning).
It does mean that the request you sent was understood and was valid HTTP, but either there is an internal, unrelated issue, or the request you send is missing some parameter or is sending some incorrect value, and that omission/mistake causes the server logic to crash (either because it fails a validation of the request content or in a deeper, uncontrolled way).
The only way to get more specific info would be seeing the server logs (and that if the developer was careful checking parameters and logging info).
Your best option is to analize the traffic between the web browser and the server using some tool like wireshark, and then analize the traffic between your client and the server and try to spot the differences.
I need to send a post request to a https address. I have a function that sends post messages currectly but i cant seem to make it work for https.
public static String serverCall(String link, String data){
HttpURLConnection connection;
OutputStreamWriter request = null;
URL url = null;
String response = null;
String parameters = data;
try
{
url = new URL(link);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
request = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
request.write(parameters);
request.flush();
request.close();
String line = "";
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream());
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(isr);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
// Response from server after process will be stored in response variable.
response = sb.toString();
isr.close();
reader.close();
}
catch(IOException e)
{
// Error
}
return response;
}
i have tryed using HttpsURLConnection insted of HttpURLConnection, i am still getting null from my server.
you should call connect();
....
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.connect();
....
