I am doing a Java (JSP + Servlet) web application (I understand that this question is technology-independent). I hope to use the latest Goolge reCAPTCHA service.

Here is complete demo code to understand client side and server side process. you can copy paste it and just replace google site key and google secret key.
<?php
if(!empty($_REQUEST))
{
// echo '<pre>'; print_r($_REQUEST); die('END');
$post = [
'secret' => 'Your Secret key',
'response' => $_REQUEST['g-recaptcha-response'],
];
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$server_output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
echo '<pre>'; print_r($server_output); die('ss');
}

Hi curious you can validate your google recaptcha at client side also 100% work for me to verify your google recaptcha just see below code
This code at the html body:
<div class="g-recaptcha" id="rcaptcha" style="margin-left: 90px;" data-sitekey="my_key"></div>
<span id="captcha" style="margin-left:100px;color:red" />
This code put at head section on call get_action(this)
method form button:
function get_action(form) {
var v = grecaptcha.getResponse();
if(v.length == 0)
{
document.getElementById('captcha').innerHTML="You can't leave Captcha Code empty";
return false;
}
if(v.length != 0)
{
document.getElementById('captcha').innerHTML="Captcha completed";
return true;
}
}
The cool thing about the new Google Recaptcha is that the validation is now completely encapsulated in the widget. That means, that the widget will take care of asking questions, validating responses all the way till it determines that a user is actually a human, only then you get a g-recaptcha-response value.
But that does not keep your site safe from HTTP client request forgery.
Anyone with HTTP POST knowledge could put random data inside of the g-recaptcha-response form field, and foll your site to make it think that this field was provided by the google widget. So you have to validate this token.
In human speech it would be like,
Validating the response is really easy. Just make a GET Request to
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=your_secret&response=response_string&remoteip=user_ip_address
And replace the response_string with the value that you earlier got by the g-recaptcha-response field.
You will get a JSON Response with a success field.
More information here: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/verify
Edit: It's actually a POST, as per documentation here.
A method I use in my login servlet to verify reCaptcha responses. Uses classes from the java.json package. Returns the API response in a JsonObject.
Check the success field for true or false
private JsonObject validateCaptcha(String secret, String response, String remoteip)
{
JsonObject jsonObject = null;
URLConnection connection = null;
InputStream is = null;
String charset = java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name();
String url = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify";
try {
String query = String.format("secret=%s&response=%s&remoteip=%s",
URLEncoder.encode(secret, charset),
URLEncoder.encode(response, charset),
URLEncoder.encode(remoteip, charset));
connection = new URL(url + "?" + query).openConnection();
is = connection.getInputStream();
JsonReader rdr = Json.createReader(is);
jsonObject = rdr.readObject();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Login.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
finally {
if (is != null) {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
return jsonObject;
}
