HttpClient and SSL problems?

["Lomvardias, Christopher" <cl...@syscom.com>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble using the HttpClient to post to an SSL server (running
Tomcat 4.01). I am able to post to a non SSL Tomcat server using the same
code (by modifying port and url). Wondering if anyone can shed some light on
the error that I'm getting.

Here is the error.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not Used. 
	at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.checkUsed(HttpMethodBase.java:1
167) 

Here is the code I'm using to do the post.

<%@ page session="false" import="java.io.*, java.net.*, javax.xml.*,
java.util.*,
java.security.*,
java.util.Properties,
java.security.cert.*,
org.apache.commons.httpclient.*,
org.apache.commons.httpclient.Header,
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection,
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpState,
org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*,
org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod" %><%

 
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ww
w.protocol");
   java.security.Security.addProvider(new
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());

	int theport = 443;
	URL xmlurl = new
URL("https://www.myserver.com:443/ABC/abcserver.jsp");
	HttpConnection connection = new HttpConnection(xmlurl.getHost(),
xmlurl.getPort(), true);
	try {
		connection.open();
	}
	catch (Exception ex) {}
	
	PostMethod method = new PostMethod(xmlurl.getFile()) {
            protected String generateRequestBody(HashMap params)
            {
              try {
                StringBuffer bodyBuffer
                  = new StringBuffer(super.generateRequestBody(params));
                bodyBuffer.append("\n");
  
                // Write the XML document from Output Stream
                return xmlString;
              }
              catch (Exception ex) {
                return null;
              }
            }
          };
		  
	method.setRequestHeader(new Header("Content-type", "text/xml"));
	method.setFollowRedirects(false);
	method.setUseDisk(true);
 
	HttpState state = new HttpState();
	try {
		method.execute(state,connection);
	}
	catch (Exception ex) {}
	
	String str = method.getResponseBodyAsString();
	
	if (method.getStatusCode() != 404) {
	  out.println(str);
	 }
	else {
	  out.println(method.getStatusCode()+"<br>");
	  out.println(method.getStatusText()+"<br>");
	  out.println(method.getResponseHeaders()+"<br>");
	  out.println(method.getResponseHeaders().length+"<br>");
	  out.println(method.getResponseHeader("Content-type")+"<br>");
	}

Thanks,

Chris
