GET/POST Requst to REST API using Spring Boot

Question

I have a REST Service an external server like https://api.myrestservice.com and I have a Spring Boot Application running locally on http://localhost:8080<

Answer 1

There are many ways to do it. Like Apache HTTP Components and other. Sample

String type = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" Or Set your desire content type;
String encodedData = URLEncoder.encode( rawData, "UTF-8" ); 
URL u = new URL("your remote url");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty( "Content-Type", type );
conn.setRequestProperty( "Content-Length", 
String.valueOf(encodedData.length()));
OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
os.write(encodedData.getBytes());

There are a couple of thing going on here, Like URLEncoding is really mattered when came to security. Note: Source of above code:here.
