Response from URL

[robin singal]

Hi

The scenario is :

I am hitting a url like say:

http://201.13.24.23/appname/first.asp?param=1¶m=2

but i would get response in other url say:

http://201.13.24.23/success.asp?par1=&par2=value2

How can i fetch the value of par2 in the other url.
I am using Plain java application

Thanks

Normally you will get this kind of URL in a HTTP GET request. So you have to set the values for the parameteres where you set that link (may be in a <a href="...."...>. etc..

Can you explain little more if this is not what you are looking for?

I am using Plain java application

Should be J2EE?

ok

I am not using J2EE
Actually i am using the URL,URLConnection like Api ..

I am making a URL object and opening a connection for the 1st url i.e

http://201.13.24.23/appname/first.asp?param1=1¶m2=2

here i know what param1 and param2 values are as i am hitting this url .

Now after hitting this url generates a response which i get in 2nd url i.e

http://201.13.24.23/success.asp?par1=&par2=value2

Now, how can i get the value for par2 ?

Thanks

I have absolutely no idea. Seriously.

The reason is, besides the few lines of text you have given us no details whatsoever. We don't know what's on that site. We don't know what par2 is for. We don't know anything.

So, please Tell The Details.

Now after hitting this url generates a response which i get in 2nd url i.e

http://201.13.24.23/success.asp?par1=&par2=value2

What does "get in 2nd url" mean

Are we talking about parsing the String that represents that URL? If so, standard String methods will lwt you take that apart.

Hi

URL url = new URL("http://201.13.24.23/appname/first.asp?");

URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();


uc.setDoOutput(true);
uc.setDoInput(true);
 
osw = new OutputStreamWriter(uc.getOutputStream());
osw.write(s);
osw.flush();

s is the set of parameters that i am appending to the 1st url and after flushing data to the url ,i would get response in 2nd url.
Actually if i consider the scenario in a browser what happens is:

When i enter the 1st url in the browser with the required parameters i am moved to success.asp with parameters appended to it .

What does "get in 2nd url" mean

The problem is that what i am able to do in the browser; i am unable to do it in the program ...i.e i am unable to get the respose which is displayed as text in the browser on success or as the get parameters (i.e par1 & par2) along with the url....

should i explain more...

thanks

Hi
I worked it out actually i was using

if(var.readLine()!= null)

and should have used while loop instead of an if loop as i was getting the html code as response rather then plain text.

Sorry for taking your precious time.
well
Thanks to all.

Hi Robin, thanks for sharing the solution with us, and you're not wasting our time, that's what the community is here for! We do try to nudge people into asking good questions with lots of detail though
