Parameters GET after a connection

[Ould Nadif]

Hi all,

I would like send a connection to my server with 3 paramaters using httpConnection GET.

For example http://myserver.com/param1=1¶m2=2¶3=3

I know that : conn = ( HttpConnection )Connector.open "http://myserver.com/param1=1¶m2=2¶3=3") works fine.

My question is:

Is it possible to have the same result using the following :

First of all I send this connection
conn = ( HttpConnection )Connector.open "http://myserver.com).

If the connection works is OK I send this:

os = conn.openOutputStream();
os.write("param1=1¶m2=2¶3=3".getBytes());
os.flush();

Thanks you in advance

Yes, but I think you will want to look at the setRequestProperty(String key, String value) method. Remember that even though you are on J2ME, the methods that you need to set content, heard, etc information in your Request object is available.

Hi,

I couldn't recuperate the values of parameters side server.
The value worth null side server.
param1=null etc...
...
..
conn = ( HttpConnection )Connector.open( "http://myserver.com",Connector.READ_WRITE );
conn.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.GET);
conn.setRequestProperty("param1","1");
conn.setRequestProperty("param2","2");
conn.setRequestProperty("param3","3");
...
....

Netherless, If I use http://http://myserver.com?param1=1¶m2=2¶m3=3
in the browser then I recuperated the value of param1, param2 etc.. side Servlet, therefore my servlet works fine.

I have doubts if setRequestProperty send the parametres of the connection.

Thank you for your help.

I think several things are being mixed up here:

- If you want to set a query string with GET you should specify it in the URL . For example:
HttpConnection c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open("http://host.com?a=1&b=2");

- To use the connection's ouput stream the request type has to be set to POST.
c.setRequestType(HttpConnection.POST);
OutputStream os = c.openOutputStream();
os.write(what_you_want);
os.close();

- setRequestProperty() methods sets information in the HTTP protocol request header - this is not very good to pass data parameters and may
be misunderstood by the HTTP server.

Also, depending on which method you use the interface at the other end is different.

Thank you for your reply.
I agree with you.Finally I replace GET by POST.I seems it works better.
