Android: Unable to make httprequest behind firewall
- by Yang
The standard getUrlContent works welll when there is no firewall. But I got exceptions when I try to do it behind a firewall.
I've tried to set "http proxy server" in AVD manager, but it didn't work. Any idea how to correctly set it up?
protected static synchronized String getUrlContent(String url) throws ApiException {
if(url.equals("try")){
return "thanks";
}
if (sUserAgent == null) {
throw new ApiException("User-Agent string must be prepared");
}
// Create client and set our specific user-agent string
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
request.setHeader("User-Agent", sUserAgent);
try {
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
// Check if server response is valid
StatusLine status = response.getStatusLine();
if (status.getStatusCode() != HTTP_STATUS_OK) {
throw new ApiException("Invalid response from server: " +
status.toString());
}
// Pull content stream from response
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent();
ByteArrayOutputStream content = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// Read response into a buffered stream
int readBytes = 0;
while ((readBytes = inputStream.read(sBuffer)) != -1) {
content.write(sBuffer, 0, readBytes);
}
// Return result from buffered stream
return new String(content.toByteArray());
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new ApiException("Problem communicating with API", e);
}
}
