Query params are part of the request URL and as such can be used with any HTTP method. A request body on the other hand can be sent by so called entity enclosing methods only (such as POST and PUT). PostMethod.setRequestBody(NameValuePair[]) method takes a array of name/value pairs and constructs a request body out of them using URL encoding. PostMethod.setQueryString(NameValuePair[]) method can be used to pass parameters as a part of the request URL
HTH Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Karthikeyani K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Freitag, 20. August 2004 17:30 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PostMethod setQueryString Hi, What is the difference between invoking setQueryString(NameValuePair[]) and setRequestBody(NameValuePair[]) on PostMethod. When we try to use setQueryString(NameValuePair[]), we are getting the response back. But when we try to use setRequestBody(NameValuePair[]), we are getting the response 500. Does PostMethod.setQueryString(NameValuePair[]) pass parameters in the requestbody? Is it similar to PostMethod.setReqeustBody(NameValuePair[]).
