Retrieving response sent by the sms service?

[Lila Fowler]

Hi all,

I am sending a sms via Clickatell using the HttpURLConnection method in java.
Although the message sends fine, I cannot seem to get the message returned by Clickatell.

The way it works without java is I paste the url into the browser and on the browser window
either a message id appears or an error message appears. (I have included screen shots of both.)

I am looking for a way to retrieve the error/success message that clickatell returns in the screen shots.

Here is the main snippet of the current code:

...try
{
            String original = "http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg?user=fred&password=pass&api_id=33453&to=09999999&text=message";
            URL url = new URL(original);
            HttpURLConnection uc = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
            System.out.println(uc.getResponseMessage()); // Always returns OK -- due to the fact that the url is valid and always executes?
            System.out.println(uc.getResponseCode()); // Always returns 200 -- due to the fact that the url is valid and always executes?
            uc.disconnect();
}
catch...

I have tried get and post but this simply returned a null value.
Either I am using these methods wrong, or because the actual
URL does not change the to include the value, the value cannot
be picked up by these methods.

Any ideas what I need to do differently or how to get the results?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks guys,

Managed to sort it out using an Input Stream instead

InputStreamReader content = new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream());
            //System.err.println(content);
            for (int i=0; i != -1; i = content.read())
            {
                System.out.print((char) i);  
            }

Exactly, you were missing reading of response in your code.
