HTTPUrlConnection only works with Debugger-without I'm to fast??!!

[Mark Mescher]

Hi,
i have a big problem with the HttpUrlConnection-Class.
I want to communicate with a HttpServerSoftware (not produced by me). Therefore I use the HttpUrlConnection-Class. This makes no problems if I use the Debugger and run the code step by step. But if I run the Software normally, it seems to be to fast for the server. The InputStrem delivered by getContent() is than empty. I dont know why and I dont have a solution for fixing this.
I have two options:
Use the debugger ever:-)Tell this my customers...
Slow down the Software. If I call getContent(), then do something else (empty for-loop with 10000000 iterations:-)) then it works also. But this isnt a nice solution.
Does anyone has a solution for me??

Thx

Mark

Can you post some of the code around this? Maybe we can spot something odd in it.

Hi, I'm using following method to get the stream:

URL url = new URL(urlstring);
            HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
            conn.setUseCaches(false);
            conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
            conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
 
            String authorization = username + ":" + password;
            BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
            String encodedAuthorization = encoder.encode(authorization.getBytes());
            conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedAuthorization);
            if (conn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                return (InputStream) conn.getContent();
            } else
                System.out.println("Error");  

I'm calling this method like this:
InputStream stream=connect(urlstring);

Before using this stream i MUST place a Breakpoint and wait a while before stepping through the code. I'm using this code to communicate with other servers (coded by my own) without problems. But here it doesnt work!!!

Hi,
I solved the problem. The serversoftware produced an empty or not complete stream if the query-results were to large. The server-vendor fixed this bug and now it works fine...So my code wasnt the problem!
