The documentation (copied below) doesn't say a lot about what IOException and HttpException means in its context. My question is: after an IOException occurs in a HttpClient.execute(HttpMethod) method, do I have to discard the object and create a new HttpClient in order to execute methods again? Or is it still usable (the HttpClient ob...
I am stumped about this, so I thought I'd ask in case any of you have come across it, since HttpClient development is a little bit of an art. The problem I am facing is this: An application is using the Apache HttpClient Java library to communicate to a server in the same company network. Most of the time it works without a problem, bu...
In the following code, I have verified that connecting to a URL from within an applet preserves the browser's session if JDK's URLConnection class is used. However, this is not the case if Apache's HttpClient library is used. Does anyone know why? Alternatively, is there a way for me to set the connection instance to be used by an Htt...
Hi all, All the while, I am using HttpClient in multithreaded environment. For every threads, when they initiate a connection, they will create a complete new HttpClient instance. Recently, I discover, by using this approach, it can cause the user is having too many port being opened, and most of the connections are in TIME_WAIT state....
I define HttpClient in 2 different ways: 1. Plain vanilla: client = new DefaultHttpClient(); 2. Thread safe: DefaultHttpClient getThreadSafeHttpClient() { HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams(); params .setParameter( "http.useragent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 1.1; en...
I'm using HttpClient 3.1 to talk to a remote server through a proxy via HTTPS and client certificate authentication. This has been working just fine for a couple of weeks now, until I started experiencing SSLHandshakeExceptions recently. I assume the root cause lies with the remote server (since I haven't changed a damn thing), but I n...
I need to set up proxy authentication against a SOCKS proxy. I found out this post giving instructions that appear to work with common HTTP proxies. httpclient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy("proxyserver.example.com", 8080); HttpState state = new HttpState(); state.setProxyCredentials(new AuthScope("proxyserver...
I am implementing a really simple HTTP Client that just connects to a web server and gets it's default homepage.

Hello there, I am going to use RESTful Web Services and HttpClient to access Facebook API REST Server. Am somewhat of a newbie to REST and Facebook APIs...

My code is here: RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath*:**/*applicationContext-test.xml" }) public class FacebookUserTest { final St...
I am using Apache Commons HttpClient 3.1, and I found that HttpURLConnection from Sun drops the 100 Continues from the stream. So therefore I don't seem able to get the 100 Continue as they are apparently dropped by Sun's code. I am unable to move forward to HttpClient 4.0 as that would require many changes to already existing code so ...

I want to login to the ORKUT through a java program. I am using the following program to do it. I have copied it from some website. Now I want to use it for ORKUT. But I have some questions regarding some lines. Q1. Where to give the URL of the login page (I think in the new HTTPGET("....."))? Am I right or not? Q2. What argument to pa...
I have rather simple HttpClient 4 code that calls HttpGet to get HTML output. The HTML returns with scripts and image locations all set to local (e.g. <img src="/images/foo.jpg"/>) so I need calling URL to make these into absolute (<img src="http://foo.com/images/foo.jpg"/>) Now comes the problem - during the call there may be one or ...
Hello there, I am using the session proxy method to login to Facebook using Facebook Connect (via my iPhone simulator) and obtain my session key. Am using server side Java to send the notification, however. What I am trying to do is just send a user to user notification back to myself (that's why I set the to_uids as an empty string). I...
In Java HttpClient feature list it says: Automatic Cookie handling for reading Set-Cookie: headers from the server and sending them back out in a Cookie: header when appropriate. But I can't figure out how to use this feature. I just need to open a web page, let it set all the cookies, then refresh the same page with received...
What is the correct method to get the content of an URL in multiple threads using HttpClient in java? For example loading a List with items, loading each item in a different thread at the same time and getting the information from the same URL with different parameters. In a application I am creating it gives me no element found except...
I'm connecting to a remote server with apache http client. the remote server sends a redirect, and i want to achieve that my client isn't following the redirect automatically so that i can extract the propper header and do whatever i want with the target. i'm looking for a simple working code sample (copy paste) that stops the automatic...
I'm using ThreadSafeClientConnManager to manage a pool of client connections, because my application has several threads, which are simultaneously connecting to a webserver.
