I don't know Java libraries, but it seems unlikely that you should be using setRequestProperty() for both User-Agent (an HTTP header) and uri (a form parameter).
POST's are supposed to put their parameters in the payload (like your web browser does) by spec. Take a look at how they encode and attach the form payload on these examples: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip34.html http://developers.sun.com/mobility/midp/ttips/HTTPPost/ Cheers, Martin Benjamin Good wrote: > Usually adding the parameters into the URL works .. why would it not in > this case? > > I get the same error (400) if I set the params in the code > > URL connoU = new URL("http://www.connotea.org/data/add";); > > > HttpURLConnection conno = (HttpURLConnection) connoU.openConnection(); > conno.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "WWW::Connotea"); > conno.setRequestProperty("uri", URLEncoder.encode(uri,"UTF-8")); > conno.setRequestProperty("tag", URLEncoder.encode(tag,"UTF-8")); > conno.setRequestMethod("POST"); > > I've been digging for some else that has this running in Java, but the > only one I could find (from Pierre Lindenbaum) didn't use the web api - > it emulated a user session by storing and sending cookies for > authentication and sending requests including button clicks.
