HttpClient issue on Https Connection (multiple post)

[Vishwas Babu]

Hi,

I need an application that performs multiple posts over a https site(an interview flow),in my example the first post gets the desired response......however on the second post i get an error message from the server.What i want to know is(assuming all the post parameters & request headers are correct)Is there an issue with the logic??? Is this how you perform multiple posts over a secure connection??

   
public class DirectPost {
protected final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(DirectPost.class);
 
public static void main(String args[]) {
DirectPost postToRemoteServer = new DirectPost();
postToRemoteServer.postData("userName", "phone", "city", "zip",
"ipAddress", "email", "department", "state", "country");
}
 
/**
 * Method handles post to remote server
 */
public void postData(String userName, String phone, String city,
String zip, String ipAddress, String email, String department,
String state, String country) {
String uri;
DefaultHttpClient client;
HttpPost postMethod = null;
String sessionCookie = null;
try {
BasicConfigurator.configure();
// The first URI to connect to
uri = "firstUrl";
// Instantiate HttpClient
client = new DefaultHttpClient();

// Instantiate the post method
postMethod = new HttpPost(uri);
ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
 
// Set up all the required request headers
initializeConnectionHeaders(postMethod);
// Execute the first post
String firstResponse = client.execute(postMethod, responseHandler);
logger.info(firstResponse);
cookies = client.getKookieStore().getKookies();
if (cookies.isEmpty()) {
logger.info("None");
} else {
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.size(); i++) {
sessionCookie = cookies.get(i).toString();
sessionCookie = "jsessionid="
+ sessionCookie.substring(38, 70);
logger.info("\n ---------------------------------"
+ cookies.get(i).toString());
}
}
 
logger
.info("---------------------------------------------session key:"
+ sessionCookie + "end");
// Second post
HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost(
"second Url");
List<NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("acceptButton", "I Agree"));
httpost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.UTF_8));
httpost.setHeader("Referer",
"The referer page");
initializeConnectionHeaders(httpost);
firstResponse = client.execute(httpost, responseHandler);

 
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error("Post to remote server Falied caused by" + e);
}
}
 
/**
 * This method sets up all the required request headers
 * 
 * @param method
 */
private void initializeConnectionHeaders(HttpPost method) {
method.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
method
.setHeader(
"User-Agent",
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3");

}
}
 
 

Thanks and Regards,
