Apache HttpClient and custom ports

Question

I\'m using the Apache HttpClient 4 and it works fine. The only thing that doesn\'t work is custom ports. It seems like the root directory is fetched and the port is ignored.

Answer 1

One suggestion is to try using HttpPost(URI address) instead of the one with String parameter. You can explicitly set the port:

URI address = new URI("http", null, "my.domain.com", 50000, "/my_file", "id=10", "anchor") 
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(address);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(post);

Can't guarantee this will work, but give it a try.
