Hi,
I wrote this function in order to retrieve data from a web server:
String getWebData(String arg)
{
URL url;
String retVal;
try
{
url = new URL(arg);
HttpURLConnection conexion = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
InputStream instream = new
BufferedInputStream(conexion.getInputStream());
InputStreamReader rdr = new InputStreamReader(instream);
char[] buff = new char[32767];
rdr.read(buff);
conexion.disconnect();
retVal = new String(buff);
}
catch (Exception e){
retVal = "EXCEP: " + e.toString();
}
return retVal;
}
it takes arguments like
http://somewebsite.com/someprog.php?arg1=this&arg2=that.
In some particular cases, when the third argument is a business name, it
fails (e.g.)
http://www.mypage.com.ve/procesarActivacion.php?usrid=xxx&pwd=zzz&serial=PR333-RU26&empresa=Cafe
Oaxaca DBL, c.a.
By modifying the contents of "empresa", in the very same instance of the
application, it works with:
http://www.mypage.com.ve/procesarActivacion.php?usrid=xxx&pwd=zzz&serial=PR333-RU26&empresa=Oaxaca
When entering the complete string in a browser, I get proper results in all
cases.
I wrote an "ad hoc" encoding function in order to supress the potentially
offending chars (spaces, periods and commas, replaced by /SP/, /DOT/ and
/COMA/ respectively), and use a matching decoder in the to restore the
original values. It worked a couple of times, but then it went back to the
initial situation.
Is this behaviour known? Any workaround suggested? Is there any other set
of classes or standard library that allows me to retrieve data from a web
server?
TIA
