Hey
I am using apache library. I have created a class which sends a post request to a servlet. I have set up the parameters for the client and i have created a HTTP post object to be sent but for some reason when i excute the request i get a reposnse that says the get method is not supported(which is true cause i have only made a dopost method in my servlet). It seems that a get request is being sent but i dont know why. The post method worked before but i started gettng http error 417 "Expectation Failed" which i fixed by adding paramenters.
below is my class with the post method.
P.s i am developing for android.
public class HTTPrequestHelper {
private final ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler;
private static final String CLASSTAG = HTTPrequestHelper.class.getSimpleName();
private static final DefaultHttpClient client;
static{
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
params.setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
params.setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.HTTP_CONTENT_CHARSET, HTTP.UTF_8);
///params.setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.USER_AGENT, "Android-x");
params.setParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, 15000);
params.setParameter(CoreConnectionPNames.STALE_CONNECTION_CHECK, false);
SchemeRegistry schemeRegistry = new SchemeRegistry();
schemeRegistry.register(
new Scheme("http", PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80));
schemeRegistry.register(
new Scheme("https", SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 443));
ThreadSafeClientConnManager cm = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(params, schemeRegistry);
client = new DefaultHttpClient(cm,params);
}
public HTTPrequestHelper(ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler) {
this.responseHandler = responseHandler;
}
public void performrequest(String url, String para)
{
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
StringEntity parameters;
try {
parameters = new StringEntity(para);
post.setEntity(parameters);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
BasicHttpResponse errorResponse =
new BasicHttpResponse(
new ProtocolVersion("HTTP_ERROR", 1, 1),
500, "ERROR");
try {
client.execute(post, this.responseHandler);
}
catch (Exception e) {
errorResponse.setReasonPhrase(e.getMessage());
try {
this.responseHandler.handleResponse(errorResponse);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e( "ouch", "!!! IOException " + ex.getMessage() );
}
}
}
I tried added the allow header to the request but that did not work as well but im not sure if i was doing right. below is the code.
client.addRequestInterceptor(new HttpRequestInterceptor() {
@Override
public void process(HttpRequest request, HttpContext context)
throws HttpException, IOException {
//request.addHeader("Allow", "POST");
}
});
