HttpHostConnectException: Connection refused Android

Question

I am trying to connect via HttpPost and send a username and password to a website and then receive a string from that website. I have tried various methods that have worked for

Answer 1

There are a few possibilities

1) the url is incorrect "http://devdashboard.company/login" is not right. At least check in browser. ping the host as well.

2) This should be an https connection instead.

3) there is some certification required.

4) You are missing a port number. or domain has not been setup correctly. perhaps port 80 the default is incorrect?

5) the call should not be a post.

In general you are either responsible for the server or you are not. It appears that it is some elses responsibility, and you should ask them what the correct url and parameters are. So its probably no ones fault, but you need to ask them about the connection to verify.

The other thing you can do is to try and see what the url looks like in an application that is succesfully connectiing. take a look that this.
