Sending JSON to a server
- by SK9
I'm running the following Java, an HttpURLConnection PUT request with JSON data that will be sent from an Android device. I'll handle any raised exceptions after this is working.
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(nameString, pwdString.toCharArray());
}
});
url = new URL(myURLString);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
urlConnection.setChunkedStreamingMode(0);
urlConnection.setRequestMethod("PUT");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
OutputStream output = null;
try {
output = urlConnection.getOutputStream();
output.write(jsonArray.toString().getBytes());
} finally {
if (output != null) { output.close(); }
}
int status = ((HttpURLConnection) urlConnection).getResponseCode();
System.out.println("" + status);
urlConnection.disconnect();
I'm receiving an HTTP 500 error (internal error code), that an unexpected property is blocking the request. The JSONArray comprises JSONObjects whose keys I know are correct. The server is pretty standard, and expects HTTP PUTs with JSON bodies.
Am I missing something glaring?
Thanking you kindly in advance.
