Answer 1

I had the same issue because of the wrong order of the code statements. Maintain the below order to resolve the issue. All get methods statements first and later httpClient methods.

      HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
get = new GetMethod(instanceUrl+usersEndPointUri);
get.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
get.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");

httpClient.getParams().setParameter("http.protocol.single-cookie-header", true);
httpClient.getParams().setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.BROWSER_COMPATIBILITY);
httpClient.executeMethod(get);
