Make sure that you re-use one HttpClient object for the requests, or that the default is set for each object you create. I'll be out of office for the rest of the evening. I hope someone else will answer possible followup questions. cheers, Roland "Hentzen, Rudy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 28.09.2004 16:13 Please respond to "Commons HttpClient Project" To "Commons HttpClient Project" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc Subject RE: Proxy Oh cant relative urls be used?? I thought they could as the example for form login uses them: PostMethod authpost = new PostMethod("/servlet/SessionServlet"); // Prepare login parameters NameValuePair action = new NameValuePair("action", "login"); NameValuePair url = new NameValuePair("url", "/index.html"); NameValuePair userid = new NameValuePair("UserId", "userid"); NameValuePair password = new NameValuePair("Password", "password"); Is there something I need to consider???

It is called doPostMethod and my usage is shown below: if (isProxySetUp()) { //sets up the proxy // Create a method instance of amazon.co.uk site. responseBody = doGetMethod(sellYourStuffURL); //works fine String reponse = new String(responseBody); if (reponse != null) { HashMap ISBNPostValuesMap = new HashMap(); NameValuePair bookISBN = new NameValuePair("sdp-sai-asin", "1852271493"); //NameValuePair bookImage = new NameValuePair("absmiddle", " http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/G/02/x-locale/common/buttons/find-it.gif "); ISBNPostValuesMap.put("ISBN", bookISBN); responseBody = doPostMethod(enterISBNURL, ISBNPostValuesMap); reponse = new String(responseBody); if (reponse != null) {//does not complete the block below error shown below ISBNPostValuesMap = new HashMap(); bookISBN = new NameValuePair("sdp-sai-asin", "1852271493"); NameValuePair bookCondition = new NameValuePair("sdp-sai-condition-type", "NEW"); NameValuePair bookComment = new NameValuePair("sdp-sai-condition-comments", "Brand New"); ISBNPostValuesMap = new HashMap(); ISBNPostValuesMap.put("ISBN", bookISBN); ISBNPostValuesMap.put("Condition", bookCondition); ISBNPostValuesMap.put("Comment", bookComment); responseBody = null; responseBody = doPostMethod(enterSalePriceURL, ISBNPostValuesMap); System.out.println(responseBody); //reponse = new String(responseBody); //System.out.println(new String(reponse)); } else { System.out.println("RESPONSE FAILED"); } } Running the above and other code I get the error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: host parameter is null at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.setHost(HttpConnection.java:228) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.SimpleHttpConnectionManager.getConnectionWithTimeout(SimpleHttpConnectionManager.java:146)200 at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeMethod(HttpMethodDirector.java:161) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:437) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:324) at testhttpclient.HttpClientTutorial.doPostMethod(HttpClientTutorial.java:119) at testhttpclient.HttpClientTutorial.main(HttpClientTutorial.java:46) But removing the code that produces the error makes the error go away.
