Target host must not be null, or set in parameters

Question

I get this error \"Target host must not be null, or set in parameters\". My manifest file has internet permission set, and I have put \'http://\' before my Url. It still giv

Answer 1

It should be

HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://www.infocreation.something.xml");

Answer 2

So I replaced the URL, with almost the same URL, except without the underscore and that worked. I realized from further searches (for example here) that URLs with _(underscore) are not valid, although that particular URL may work. Thanks for all your help.

Answer 3

Are you putting a real and working url inot the HttpPost constructor?

Anyway this is your solution:

If you have the following code failing:

HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("www.host.com");

Then the error is pretty easy to solve: The problem is that you have not added a protocol to the URL, so change it to:

HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://www.host.com");

And then it will work as wanted.
