How to stream a JSON object to a HttpURLConnection POST request

Question

I can not see what is wrong with this code:

JSONObject msg;  //passed in as a parameter to this method

HttpURLConnection httpCon = (HttpURLConnection) url.openC         


        

Answer 1

Try

...
httpCon.setRequestMethod("POST");
httpCon.connect(); // Note the connect() here
...
OutputStream os = httpCon.getOutputStream();
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(os, "UTF-8");
...    
osw.write(msg.toString());
osw.flush();
osw.close();

to send data.

to retrieve data try:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( httpCon.getInputStream(),"utf-8"));
String line = null;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    sb.append(line + "\n");
}
br.close();
System.out.println(""+sb.toString());
