HTTPS client-side POST

[ISAIAH]

Hello,
I need to connect to a server using https POST method. I do not know much about https and SSL. So, if someone could explain how it works and how to proceed, it would be great. I searched the internet, and I found nothing very conclusive. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Hello,
Even I am trying to write such program, so if you can help me, it will be good. Here is my code.

		try
		{
		URL testurl = new URL("https: / / address");
HttpURLConnection connec = (HttpURLConnection)testurl.openConnection();
connec.setRequestMethod("POST");
System.out.System.out.println("Initialization OK");
connec.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream out = connec.getOutputStream();
OutputStreamWriter wout = new OutputStreamWriter(out);
wout.write("test");
 
 
		}catch(IOException e)
		{
			System.err.System.out.println(e);
		}

Hello,
If you are going to connect to https server, it is not using the normal http that it will work. I do not know if there is a HttpsURLConnection method or not. But in the worst case, you create an SSL socket, and you simply send your order over since the http command is composed of text. I have no idea about the HTTPS. By the way, why are you trying to use the https when there is http, it is not that the http is not a secure connection, it is also secure protocol.

Hello,
Thanks you for your suggestion, but the simple http get method does not work with the https, I have tried it. I think I am missing something from my code. Another problem with my code it that the input stream is not working for me. I am using an input stream to get the data from the https, but first of all the input stream is not correctly written in my code. Any idea about this.

Hi,
If you are going to connect to an HTTP's then I think you can use the normal methods. There are whole process of key exchange, verification certificate that you are I think missing in your code. When you try to connect with the HttpURLConnector https method, AC would like to send an encrypted message to an HTTP server classic. I hope you realize this working of the method that you are using in the code.

Hello,
Yes thank you I know now, I just copy paste an incorrect version.
I would like to know how it is to accept a certificate.
I have two connection methods:

1 - With httpsUrlConnection

And

2 - With SSLSocket

Will these methods work correctly in my code, are there any other methods available other than these, if there are, then please reply with them. thanks in advance.

Hello,
With SSLSocket, you must have a trust store, which it will rely to accept the certificate and normally it just happens. That is automatically takes place. That's the advantage of SSLSocket, it is totally transparent. for HttpsURLConnection method, I have no ideas, because I have not used it more in my coding / programming.
