I am having a hugely annoying issue with delays using HTTPClient and post the first time I call execute on the client the response takes 5 seconds to come back. Subsequent calls take around 100 to 200 ms. I am using the Apache client so does anyone know why this takes so long? The client setup looks like below

The timing for this look like below.

I'm doing a Get and Post method for an android project and I need to "translate" HttpClient 3.x to HttpClient 4.x (using by android).
My problem is that I'm not sure of what I have done and I don't find the "translation" of some methods...
This is the HttpClient 3.x I have done and (-->) the HttpClient 4.x "translation" if I have found it (Only parties who ask me problems) :
CODE:...........
I don't know if that is correct. This has caused problems because the packages are not named similarly, and some methods too. I just need documentation (I haven't found) and little help.
I got one blog which interacts with servlets... Link as follows
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
In that program 2 libraries were used..
1---> import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient; 2---> import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;
When i check these libraries in my program, its show error....how to resolve this error?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI haven't used the Java HttpClient before and the documentation is confusing. Say I want to send a POST to the URL "https://domain/foo/ bar". I'm accessing a server with an XML API that defines the message to send like this:
code:.........
And the response to expect like this:
code:..........
Now, I can build and parse the portion inside the serverapi tags but I'm not sure how the HttpClient handles the header. If I use the standard code like this:
code:...........
In the area shown as "not sure", should I pre-pend the entire header in front of the xml section, just as it's shown in the server API document or does the client take care of the first line, since it knows the URL?
Is there a way to see exactly what is about to be sent right before I call HttpClient.execute?
As for parsing the response, I believe I can just do this:
code:..........
Or do I need to strip anything off the response content before I start parsing the xml? I took a few stabs at this and it looks like there's some HTTP bookkeeping information at the start of the response content.
I'm writing a small application which needs httpclient lib, basically to manage the cookie/session automatically. The website I'm targeting needs a valid session, so, between each http call, I need to send the cookie. Httpclient does it well. This is a tv stream application and I have to fetch the channel url, the url has a token parameter and I have to be logged / authenticated / (=> have a valid cookie/sessionid) to fetch the channel url.
I got the first cookie/sessionid with the first connection to the website. The cookie is valid for a certain amount of time, there is no "expires" but I don't know if there is any server cron to cleanup the sessions. I assume I have to "ping" every x secondes to maintain the session valid.
Between each http call, the time could be from 1 sec to several minutes, it depends if the user wants to change the watched tv channel. The http call (to fetch the url) is not made by the UI Thread.
There are several possibilities to manage the httpclient : - a single httpclient static singleton instance accessed by a custom synchronized getClient() on an helper class => when / how to release the http connection ? How to handle that correctly if the user got a phone call / does not use the application for now (unvalidate during onResume, etc)? - Save the cookie (String serialized into SharedPreferences) and create every time a new httpclient instance (then set the cookie to the new instance) => overhead to get the http connection - other ?
By default HttpClient use HTTP/1.1 protocol, is there any way to change it to HTTP/1.0?

I'm new to implementing HTTPS connections in Android. Essentially, I'm trying to connect to a server using the org.apache.http.client.HttpClient. I believe, at some point, I'll need to access the application's keystore in order to authorize my client with a private key. But, for the moment, I'm just trying to connect and see what happens; I keep getting an HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request error.
I can't seem to make heads or tails of this despite many examples (none of them seem to work for me). My code looks like this (the BODY constant is XmlRPC):

For example: Say I searched something on the Walmart homepage. Like this. How would I retrieve the information from the first product listed. Information like product name, price, details, rating, model. And how would I search in the box.
The only way it seems like to me is to replace http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?
search_constraint=0&ic=48_0&search_query=someProduct&Find.x=0&Find.y=0&Find=Find.
Then replace someProduct with the seach and call it in an HttpClient.
Has anyone tried to use a newer version of Apache HttpClient on Android? There's an annoying bug in the HttpClient used by Android and I was wondering if I would run into problems trying to redistribute HttpClient 4.1 with my app.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using httpclient for my android app and I have a local site which has a few https pages. Since default httpclient doesnot allow self-signed certificates I am using "EasySSLFactory" and "EasyX509TrustManager", which are mentioned in httpclient documentation.
CODE:.......
The problem is if I use this SSLFactory in my android app, I am getting correct response from my site's https pages, but I get "SSL handshake failure: I/O error during system call, Unknown error: 0" for sites such as "gmail.com", "ymail.com". If I don't use. "EasySSLSocketFactory" I get response from these sites but get exception for my site.
This page fetch code works fine as a standalone java application.
I'm connecting to a REST service using HttpClient under Android. I'd like to be able to write code where I could pull the host, port, etc. out of a properties file and not have to write fake Schemes and other things like that in order to do the development work. In other words, the live site will have a cert. The dev site will have a self-signed cert or a CA cert. Either way, I need the code to seamlessly work with both kinds of certs if possible. Can someone point me in the right direction?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to call a web server that is using relative URL redirects for some of the calls. This of course isn't working with DefaultHttpClient as it isn't treating it as a relative URL. I've gotten as far as implementing a RedirectHandler in an attempt to catch the redirect and add in the base call but I can't work out how to get the location of the redirect.
With the following method how do I go about finding out where I am being redirected to? I can't find any fields on either response or context that have what I need and I don't know where else to look.
public URI getLocationURI(HttpResponse response, HttpContext context)
Until recently, our app shared a single Apache HttpClient instance using the ThreadSafeClientConnManager across the whole application. The http client instance was held by a singleton class.
Since I dislike the singleton pattern for its numerous problems, I refactored our API accessor to be a per-thread object, but now for every thread (which mostly means per Activity/Service in our case) a new HttpClient instance is created.
It's not that I have problems with this new approach, but I've read that the Apache folks suggest to only have one instance per app for performance reasons.
Visually, what we did before was this:
HttpClient (thread safe)
|
|
/
/
Activity1...ActivityN
Now, we do this:
Activity1 ... ActivityN
| |
| |
HttpClient1 HttpClientN
How do you guys do this in your applications? If you share one single HttpClient across your app and potentially many concurrent threads, how do you handle access to it?
I am trying to use a certain wrapper of HttpClient, called HTTPRequestHelper with an associated responseHandler as the basic class for my wrapper to a web service which is implemented as a singleton.
HTTPRequestHelper and samples of usage are described in chapter 6 of "Unlocking Android" published by Manning.
My problem is that invoking both the helper and the handler from a thread started on the main UI thread (either from an AsyncTask or directly) works only sporadically.
Here is the basic setup.
public class APIService { private ArrayList<Something> myThing;

HttpClient 4 doesn't have that included anymore. The upstream project didn't integrate it from the 3.x client. I had to do exactly the same today. Basically I solved it by including some additional jars: mime4j httpmime This question was already on the list and there's some better explanation: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/1ea124b384da9dc2 -- Urs My problem is that while i know what i have to include, i can't find a sensible download link for httpmime. the page points back to httpcore for downloads, but of course it's not in there any more (i checked). i was up for compiling it, but the source link takes me to the javadoc! something is definitely screwed up.

An Android app I am building requires web authentication for users to make data calls. In Adobe AIR and later the iPhone, we did this by rendering a login page in a webview-equivalent page and setting a cookie when the user signs in. Subsequent data calls use the same Cookie Jar and so are seen as authenticated.
In the Android version, I authenticate the user using a WebView and then once thats done, I make a data call using DefaultHttpClient, however I cant seem to load the data on the second call.
Is there some cookie gotcha I am missing? I imagine the HTTPClient and WebView would share the same Cookie space.
I'm having troubles with ADT and JUnit Testing.
When I use HttpClient classes, my JUnit tests fail with errors like: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/HttpClient.
I run my tests in Eclipse as "JUnit Tests" (not "Android JUnit Tests") with the "Android Test Launcher". An idea about how to resolve this problem?
I have Android pet-project DroidIn which utilizes HttpClient 4 (built into Android) to do some form based authentication. I started noticing that people who are using WiFi are reporting connection problems. It also doesn't help that site I'm accessing has self-assigned certificate. Well - the question is (I'm quite vague on WiFi details) If WiFi at the hotspot doesn't support HTTPS would that be a good enough reason for connection to fail and is there anything that I can do beside proxying into another appserver using HTTP which then would call HTTPS site?

When this failed I tried using:
CODE:.................
At first I have only overridden "realm" and "nonce" DigestScheme parameters. But it turned out that PHP script running on the server requires all other params, but no matter if I specify them or not DigestScheme doesn't generate them in the Authorization RequestPreperty when I call its authenticate() method. And PHP script returns HTTP response code 200 with a message that PHP script requires cnonce, nc and qop parameters.
I'm passing in parameters and returning string values, but all I receive is: org.apache.http.conn.EofSensorInputStream. Do I need to do something special in my web service to access the parameters being passed?
