HTTPS and PostMethod problem/bug

[Tilak Mitra <tm...@us.ibm.com>]

Hello,
      I am trying to connect to a https site using the PostMethod to post
some data and get the response back.


      // code snippet, using JSSE from Sun as the provider
      Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());


            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            client.startSession("airmail.trondent.com",443,true) ;
            try
            {
                  PostMethod post = new PostMethod(
"/login.asp?action=login","C:\\temp") ;
                  post.addParameter("usermail","<myloginname>") ;
                  post.addParameter("password","<mypassword>") ;
                  post.setFollowRedirects(false);

                  client.executeMethod(post);

                  String response = post.getResponseBodyAsString();

                  System.out.println(response) ;

            }
            catch ( Exception e )
            {
                  e.printStackTrace() ;
            }
      }



      The code hangs in the executeMethod, and nothing happens ... no
output, no error , nothing ...

      Can you please advise me, where I am going wrong.
      I am trying to push to use this beautiful package of yours, but am
failing to do a simple proof of concept.

      Please help.

Regards
Tilak

[HttpClient] Re: HTTPS and PostMethod problem/bug

[Ortwin Glück <or...@nose.ch>]

I can not try a POST but a GET works when I try (using JDK 1.4 and JSSE):

         try {
             HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
             client.startSession("www.verisign.com", 443, true);
             client.setSSLSocketFactory(null);
             HttpMethod method = new GetMethod("/");
             client.executeMethod(method);
             System.out.print(method.getResponseBodyAsString());
             client.endSession();
         } catch(Exception e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
         }

Please include "[HttpClient]" in front of the subject of further 
postings to this mailing list. The list is high traffic and is filtered 
by many people. So your posting may go unnoticed if you do not prefix
