httpurlconnection

we are upgrading our web app to use Facebook's Graph API, which returns JSON responses. However we don't want to add dependecy to a JSON library unless we have no other choice. For server-side http requests we use Apache HttpComponents. Thus, my question is what are the classes (if any) in the JDK and/or in HttpComponents that I can use to process JSON responses? Code snippets are welcome :) It is possible. Because JSON is valid JavaScript syntax, you can use the built-in JavaScript interpreter via the scripting API to create and object graph, walk that (using the visitor pattern to push data

I'm using the following code to open a http connection in java: URL url = new URL("http://stackoverflow.com"); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setDoOutput(true); conn.setRequestMethod("GET"); conn.setRequestProperty("Host", "Test:8080"); conn.getOutputStream(); However calling conn.setRequestProperty("Host", "Test:8080") appears to have no effect regardless of what order I call the methods and the Host is reset to the destination server. Is there any way to override the Host header without using a different library? TIA Matt Boris This used to work in

I have an Android app that works fine with Android 2.x and 3.x, but it fails when run on Android 4.x. The problem is in this section of code: URL url = new URL("http://blahblah.blah/somedata.xml"); HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET"); urlConnection.setDoOutput(true); urlConnection.connect(); InputStream inputStream = urlConnection.getInputStream(); When the application is running on Android 4.x, the getInputStream() call results in a FileNotFoundException . When the same binary is running on earlier versions of

I am trying to send a GET via Android's HttpURLConnection (imported from org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection ), and upon receiving the response, an IOException is thrown: in doRequestInternal(): "Received authentication challenge is null" What does this error mean, and what is causing this? I am writing OAuth parameters to the Authorization header, but I do this on other occasions, too, without problems. if (connection == null) { connection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(endpointUrl).openConnection(); connection.setRequestMethod("GET"); } //... do some OAuth

I've begun using the recommended HTTPUrlConnection and moved away from the DefaultHTTPClient . One of the things that I haven't been able to glue back together is the use of a persistent cookie store. I'd like to simply attach a custom cookie handler/manager to my connection to store the cookies. The Android documentation hasn't been very helpful as it wraps up the subject about cookies in two lines. I've been using LoopJ's PersistentCookieStore earlier and that worked beautifully. Any idea on how I could set up a persistent cookie store in Android that I can attach to my HTTPUrlConnection
