[httpclient] Non-Encoded POST Request

Hello !

I'm working with a company who can't accept encoded POST's, which is
non-W3C standard, but I have to make due with this.

I've tried sub-classing the PostMethod class, and overriding the
generateRequestEntity() method with no luck.  Even when using
different Content-Type's, no luck.  Here is my implementation of the
generateRequestEntity() method (part of):

==========================
                String content = 
                    EncodingUtil.formUrlEncode(getParameters(),
                            StringPart.DEFAULT_CHARSET);
                ByteArrayRequestEntity entity = 
                    new ByteArrayRequestEntity(
                            EncodingUtil.getAsciiBytes(content), 
                            "text/plain");
==========================

Anybody have any ideas ?
Are non-encoded POST requests even supported !?

Thanks !
==
Dylan

Dylan,

You can set any request content you want using whatever encoding you
deem appropriate simply by calling PostMethod#setRequestBody(String) or
PostMethod#setRequestBody(InputStream) methods

Hope this helps

Oleg
