As the topic indicates I'm trying to perform a http post request to a page secured with basic http authentication.
It works from the command line with curl as following: curl http://snot%40snot.dk:supersnot_at_teletracker.herokuapp.com/devices -d "device[name]=snot" -d "device[device_id]=1234" But with the java code below I get redirected to a login form. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Note that the username and password I have supplied is working so, if anyone cares, please try it out. You just have to replace _at_ with @ private void sendDeviceIdToServer(String deviceId) { DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); client.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials( new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY_HOST, AuthScope.ANY_PORT), new UsernamePasswordCredentials("snot_at_snot.dk", "supersnot")); //new UsernamePasswordCredentials("snot%40snot%2Edk", "supersnot")); HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://teletracker.herokuapp.com/devices";); try { List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("device[name]", "from android")); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("device[device_id]", deviceId)); post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); ResponseHandler<String> handler = new BasicResponseHandler(); String response = client.execute(post, handler); Log.d("HttpResponse", response); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
