I am trying to test the posting to a remote site using HTTPClient. I am
continually failing and was hoping someone could give me a pointer as to
what I am doing wrong. I have not had a chance to try it from outside
the proxy, so that may have something to do with it, but I am not sure.
It gets the redirect back to the login page, which looks like a failure
to log in to me. I am stumped.
TIA,
Matthew
Code Snipet:
public static void testPost() throws Exception {
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.getHostConfiguration().setProxy("proxy.myproxy.com",
8000);
PostMethod post = new
PostMethod("https://www.netflix.com/Login";);
post.addParameter(new NameValuePair("email", "myemail"));
post.addParameter(new NameValuePair("password1", "mypassword"));
post.addParameter(new NameValuePair("RememberMe", "True"));
post.addParameter(new NameValuePair("SubmitButton", "Click Here
to Continue"));
try {
int status = client.executeMethod( post );
System.out.println("post status:"+ status);
String redirectLocation;
Header locationHeader = post.getResponseHeader("location");
if (locationHeader != null) {
redirectLocation = locationHeader.getValue();
System.out.println("redirectLocation:"+
redirectLocation);
} else {
}
} finally {
post.releaseConnection();
}
}
A similar straight form, posted from my local location works just fine:
<http>
<body>
<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="https://www.netflix.com/Login"; >
Email: <input TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="28" NAME="email" value="myemail"><BR>
Remember ME: <INPUT type="text" id="RememberMe" name="RememberMe"
value="True" ><BR>
Password: <input TYPE="PASSWORD" SIZE="15" NAME="password1"
value="mypass" maxlength=60><BR>
<input class="core-button" type="submit" value="Click Here to Continue"
name="SubmitButton">
</form>
</body>
</html>
