Spring RestTemplate POST Request with URL encoded data

Question

I\'m new to Spring and trying to do a rest request with RestTemplate. The Java code should do the same as below curl command:

curl --data \"name=feature&colo         


        

Answer 1

It may be a Header issue check if the header is a Valid header, are u referring to "BasicAuth" header?

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.add("Content-Type", MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED.toString());
headers.add("Accept", MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON.toString()); //Optional in case server sends back JSON data
    
MultiValueMap requestBody = new LinkedMultiValueMap();
requestBody.add("name", "feature");
requestBody.add("color", "#5843AD");
    
HttpEntity formEntity = new HttpEntity>(requestBody, headers);
    
ResponseEntity response = 
   restTemplate.exchange("https://example.com/api/request", HttpMethod.POST, formEntity, LabelCreationResponse.class);
