Hi,
I am a newbie to HttpClient and I am hoping someone can help me out. I
haven't been able to get this to work and I don't know why. I am trying
to post to a form at a URL that has the following fields: agent_id,
password, poltyp, polno, and submit button. I get a status code of 200
back instead of a redirect response code. I'm not sure why this is
happening. Am I missing something in my code, did I do something wrong,
etc? Any help is greatly appreciated. I am trying to get this done
before I have a baby in the next few weeks.
Thank You!
Kara
Here is my code:
// Create an instance of HttpClient.
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpServletResponse response = null;
// Create a method instance.
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(
"https://www.wiins.com/admin/cgi-bin/test/policy_navigation.mac/service_link";
);
NameValuePair[] data = { new NameValuePair(
"agent_id", username),
new NameValuePair("password", pwd
),
new NameValuePair("poltyp", type),
new NameValuePair("polno", policy)
};
post.setRequestBody(data);
client.executeMethod(post);
post.releaseConnection();
int statuscode = post.getStatusCode();
System.out.println("Statuscode = " + statuscode);
if ((statuscode == HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY
)
|| (statuscode == HttpStatus.
SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY)
|| (statuscode == HttpStatus.
SC_SEE_OTHER)
|| (statuscode == HttpStatus.
SC_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT)) {
Header header = post.getResponseHeader(
"Location");
System.out.println("location=" +
header.getValue());
if (header != null) {
String newuri = header.getValue();
if ((newuri == null) ||
(newuri.equals(""))) {
newuri = "/";
}
GetMethod redirect = new
GetMethod(newuri);
client.executeMethod(redirect);
if (newuri.indexOf("jsessionid=")
> -1) {
String jsessionid =
newuri.substring(newuri
.indexOf(
"jsessionid=") + 11, newuri.length());
response.addHeader(
"Set-Cookie", "JSESSIONID="
+
jsessionid + ";Path="
+
request.getContextPath());
}
response.sendRedirect(newuri);
}
