The problem is that the PutMethod doesn't have any content. Content must be set prior to calling client.executeMethod(), using either setRequestBody(String) or setRequestBody(InputStream). If you will be generating content dynamically you will need to either buffer it to disk/memory and then send it, or use a PipedInputStream <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/io/PipedInputStream.html>.

I am trying to write a file to a url, using http put.
I don't want to upload an existing file from my filesystem, rather put a
string (actually several, that could be very large and are of unknown
length, so streaming is required...) into a file at a given url.
When I try to do this, it creates the file on the webserver, but it has no
content what so ever.
Here is my current code, any ideas anyone?
String url = "http://localhost/a.xml";; HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); method = new PutMethod(url); method.setPath(url);
method.setRequestContentLength(EntityEnclosingMethod.CONTENT_LENGTH_CHU NKED);
method.setUseExpectHeader(true);
method.setRequestHeader(STRING_ContentType, STRING_textXml);
client.setHostConfiguration(method.getHostConfiguration());
int statusCode = -1; int attempt = 0;
while (statusCode == -1 && attempt < 3) { try { statusCode = client.executeMethod(method); } catch (HttpRecoverableException e) { //retry } catch (IOException e) { //fatal } }
connection =
client.getHttpConnectionManager().getConnection(method.getHostConfigura tion());
os = new ChunkedOutputStream(connection.getRequestOutputStream());
// create a PrintStream and put data to the web server urlOut = new PrintStream(os, true);
followed by several urlOut.write(String)'s, then:
//Release the connection. ((ChunkedOutputStream) os).writeClosingChunk(); urlOut.flush(); urlOut.close();
os.flush(); os.close();
method.releaseConnection();
