Authentication Error when using HttpPost with DefaultHttpClient on Android

Question

I\'m running into a strange problem using HttpClient. I am using a DefaultHttpClient() with HttpPost. I was using HttpGet with 100% success but now trying to switch to HttpP

Don't you have to declare the port and protocol? I'm just swagging this code so please don't be upset if it doesn't immediatley compile correctly. Also, I usually supply a UsernamePasswordCredentials to my setCredentials() but I imagine it's the same.

HttpHost host = new HttpHost("www.foo.com", 443, "https");

// assemble your GET or POST

client.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(new AuthScope(host.getHostName(), host.getPort()));

HttpResponse response = client.execute(host, [HttpPost or HttpGet]);
