HttpsURLConnection + Cloudflare API FileNotFoundException

I'm trying to create an app for android and I'm trying to read my stats from my CloudFlare Dashboard.
The strange thing is that if my code reaches the line ins = con != null ? con.getInputStream() : null; It will say "FileNotFoundException".
The headers are set as they should. Here is the quote from the CF API Documentation:
The dashboard view provides both totals and timeseries data for the given zone and time period across the entire CloudFlare network.
GET /zones/:zone_identifier/analytics/dashboard
- https://api.cloudflare.com/#zone-analytics-dashboard
Some parameters are optional, I double checked my data already and it works fine in Postman.
I tried to use http but CF doesn't allow it.
My code:
class JsonRequest extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
private String readStream(InputStream is) {
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream bo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int i = is.read();
while (i != -1) {
bo.write(i);
i = is.read();
}
return bo.toString();
} catch (IOException e) {
return "";
}
}
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
URL myurl = null;
try {
myurl = new URL(params[0]);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
HttpsURLConnection con = null;
try {
con = (HttpsURLConnection)myurl.openConnection();
con.setRequestProperty("X-Auth-Email", "email");
con.setRequestProperty("X-Auth-Key", "key");
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0 ( compatible ) ");
con.setRequestProperty("Accept","*/*");
con.setDoOutput(false);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
InputStream ins = null;
try {
ins = con != null ? con.getInputStream() : null; // FileNotFoundException
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(ins);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(isr);
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return readStream(ins);
}
}

Why isn't my node.js restful api recieving this output stream from Java Android?

I have a class audio sender which makes a connection to the nodejs server and uploads an audio file in POST method mode.
public class AudioSender implements Callable<JSONObject> {
String outputFile;
AudioSender(String fileLocation){
outputFile=fileLocation;
}
public JSONObject call(){
URL url = null;
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
InputStream audioInputStream=null;
JSONObject response=null;
byte buffer[]=new byte[16];
try {
url = new URL("http://192.168.0.106:3000/upload");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
urlConnection.setChunkedStreamingMode(16);
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","multipart/form-data");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty(
"Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=*****");
try {
OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(urlConnection.getOutputStream());
try {
audioInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(outputFile));
Log.d("hello","audioinputstream");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
while(audioInputStream.read(buffer)!=-1) {
out.write(buffer);
Log.d("buffer",buffer.toString());
}
try {
audioInputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
while(in.read(buffer)!=-1)
total.append(buffer);
Log.d("response",total.toString());
try {
response = new JSONObject(total.toString());
}catch(JSONException e){
Log.e("Response Parse Error", "Could not parse malformed JSON");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
return response;
}
This is the upload that executes the AudioSender callable.
public void upload() {
JSONObject response=null;
AudioSender sender=new AudioSender(outputFile);
FutureTask<JSONObject> uploadTask=new FutureTask<JSONObject>(sender);
ExecutorService executorService= Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1);
executorService.execute(uploadTask);
Log.d("s","was here");
while(true){
if(uploadTask.isDone()){
try{
response=uploadTask.get();
}catch(InterruptedException|ExecutionException e){
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("ee","ee",e.getCause());
}
}
}
}
I pretty much know this isn't node js's fault but here's the server code:
app.post('/upload',function(req,res){
console.log("someone called!");
req.on('data',function(chunk){
console.log('res');
console.log(chunk);
});
req.on('end',function(){
console.log("done!");
res.send({'name':'sg'});
});});
When I call upload(), the server console prints
someone called!
done!
I was debugging and found that indeed I am receiving the responded json object from the server. And I don't know if out.write(buffer) is doing the job, but debugging it shows that the buffer value is changing and is in par with my audio file's size.
Please do not suggest using ION or anything else.

I solved the problems by setting up the URLConnection as follows:
boundary = "===" + System.currentTimeMillis() + "===";
urlConnection.setUseCaches(false);
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true); // indicates POST method
urlConnection.setDoInput(true);
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary);

How to read string from php to android studio (java)

I don't know why i get a null value when i call the GetPHPData() function. The "out" variable returns nothing (""). I make a Toast.makeTest and it returns empty string. Please help. This is my code:
public class PHPConnect extends Activity
{
String url = "http://122.2.8.226/MITBookstore/sqlconnect.php";
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
String out = null;
public String GetPHPData()
{
try {
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
urlConnection.setConnectTimeout(5000);
urlConnection.setReadTimeout(10000);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try
{
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
out = readStream(in);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),e.getMessage(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
finally
{
urlConnection.disconnect();
return out;
}
}
private String readStream(BufferedReader is)
{
try
{
ByteArrayOutputStream bo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int i = is.read();
while(i != -1)
{
bo.write(i);
i = is.read();
}
return bo.toString();
} catch (IOException e)
{
return e.getMessage();
}
}
}
By the way, im running a wamp server and I port forwarded my router, on local host, the url works, but on remote connection, it won't return a string. You can try out the url, the result is: "This is the output:emil"

Can you please try below piece of code which is working for me, also add INTERNET permission in android manifest file. Still if it is not working then may be issue with server end then try to debug it.
URL url;
try {
url = new URL("myurl");
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url
.openConnection();
InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isw = new InputStreamReader(in);
int data = isw.read();
while (data != -1) {
char current = (char) data;
data = isw.read();
System.out.print(current);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

code with getInputStream() was compatible with Java 1.6, but is anymore with 1.7

I have a piece of software which establishes a communication between a PC and a machine, which used to work in Java 1.6, but doesn't anymore in 1.7. The IOException --> "Invalid Http response" is what I get as soon as the getInputStream() method is called. It seems like the method had been improved an is much more sensitive, meaning that responseCode=
-1 result is not specifically checked in Java 1.6.
Assited with Wireshark I checked if both versions (1.6 & 1.7) sent and received same Ethernet frames, and so did both.
I can only resolve this from the PC (client) side...that means no posibility to edit or change the Server code.
I would apreciate any help on how to modify or implement something new to make the code compatible for ver. 1.7 as Im not a former programmer... Thanks

405 means "method not allowed". For example, if you try to POST to a URL that doesn't allow POST, then the server will return a 405 status.
What are you trying to do by making a POST request to Google? I suspect that Google's home page only allows GET, HEAD, and maybe OPTIONS.
Here's the body of a POST request to Google, containing Google's explanation.
405. That’s an error.
The request method POST is inappropriate for the URL /. That’s all we know.
