Hi,
I'm trying to fetch a url similar to the one below:
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-6gDlmA5SF9E/cow_slaughtering_on_eid_ul_zoha/
When I study the response, I see that the response status code is 404. However
there is some content in the page that I would like to retrieve. Internet
Explorer / Firefox browser reports the content to be of type text/html and when
I do a view source, I see something like a html source.
===========================================================================
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head> <script
type="text/javascript">
var startTime = new Date();
var reportURL = 'http://winter.metacafe.com';
var isBeta = 0;
=========================================================================
However with httpclient the fetched content seems to be unreadable and looks
like a binary content.
This is my sample file TestHttpFetch.java:
public class TestHttpFetch {
public static void main(String args[]) {
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpMethod method = new GetMethod(
"http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-6gDlmA5SF9E/cow_slaughtering_on_eid_ul_zoha/";);
try {
int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);
if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
System.err.println("Method failed: " + method.getStatusLine());
}
String response = method.getResponseBodyAsString();
System.out.println("RESPONSE BODY: \n" + response);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception occured:");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Could you please let me know why I am getting this binary content?
Thanks in advance,
Subashini
