Hi All,
I'm looking to make an HTTP post request given the raw data that I have. I've spent a while looking for the solution, made a handful of attempts and I'm looking for a little bit of help. The PHP code for what I'm looking to do looks like this:
<?
$url="http://localhost:3000";
$postdata="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
<hi></hi>";
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo($result);
?>
My attempt was this:
private String setXmlPostHeader(Document doc, PostMethod postMethod) throws java.io.IOException, java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException,
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException
{
ByteArrayOutputStream xmlBytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XML.serialize( doc, xmlBytes );
final byte[] ba = xmlBytes.toByteArray();
String data = new String(ba, "utf-8");
InputStreamRequestEntity re = new InputStreamRequestEntity(new ByteArrayInputStream(ba));
postMethod.setRequestEntity(re);
postMethod.setRequestHeader("Content-type", MediaType.XML.toString() + "; charset=UTF-8");
return data;
}
And then executing the postMethod, but this simply is a post containing no data. Does anyone see anything wrong that I'm doing? I'd like to figure out how to change this method to make it actually work. Thanks!
