I want to make a simple POST call in Java,
I am getting a 200 response code but, with the wrong response message,
I am told there is a different way to make a Post call when using a form data.
Following is my current Java code to make the post call -
private String makePostCall(){
try {
String url = "http://someIp/trusted";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
// add header
List<NameValuePair> urlParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
urlParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", "app_user"));
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(urlParameters));
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
System.out.println("\nSending 'POST' request to URL : " + url);
System.out.println("Post parameters : " + post.getEntity());
System.out.println("Response Code : " + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
result.append(line);
}
System.out.println(result.toString());
return result.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
Following is the Post call sample that is working through Postman app -
I am referring the following website -
https://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-send-http-request-getpost-in-java/
The expected outcome of the post call is supposed to be a Token ie. a String value, current response is -1.
