https post request issue

[david arnold]

Hi,

I tried to send a POST request which contains user login info, but got anthentication error, I could do GET request using the same URL without problem, so I think it is something wrong with the POST request, could anyone take a look at it?

HttpsURLConnection httpConn = null;
        String urlParameters = "rest_call=login&name=111&auth_key=aMckJJL";
        byte[] postData = urlParameters.getBytes();
        try {
            URL url = new URL("https://www.sample.com/api.php");
            httpConn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            httpConn.setRequestMethod("POST");
            httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/html");
            httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", "" + postData.length);
            httpConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");
            httpConn.setUseCaches(false);
            httpConn.setDoInput(true);
            httpConn.setDoOutput(true);
            DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(httpConn.getOutputStream());
            dos.write(postData);
            dos.flush();
            dos.close();

One question is that I am not sure if parameter need to be encoded.

Thanks.
