Java HttpURLConnection - POST with Cookie

Question

I´m trying to send a post request with cookies. This is the code:

try {

    String query = URLEncoder.encode(\"key\", \"UTF-8\") + \"=\" + URLEncoder.encode(\"v         


        

Answer 1

According to the URLConnection javadoc:

The following methods are used to access the header fields and the 
contents AFTER the connection is made to the remote object:

* getContent
* getHeaderField
* getInputStream
* getOutputStream

Have you confirmed that in your test case above the request is getting to the server at all? I see you have the call to connect() after getOutputStream() and commented-out besides. What happens if you uncomment it and move up before the call to getOutputStream() ?
