RE: Proxy

[Hentzen, Rudy]

Hi,

I have created a method that carries out post commands and returns the response body.  
It is called doPostMethod and my usage is shown below:

   if (isProxySetUp()) { //sets up the proxy
      // Create a method instance of amazon.co.uk site.
      responseBody = doGetMethod(sellYourStuffURL); //works fine
      String reponse = new String(responseBody);      
      if (reponse != null) {
        HashMap ISBNPostValuesMap = new HashMap();
        NameValuePair bookISBN = new NameValuePair("sdp-sai-asin", "1852271493");
        //NameValuePair bookImage = new NameValuePair("absmiddle", 
"http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/G/02/x-locale/common/buttons/find-it.gif";);
        ISBNPostValuesMap.put("ISBN", bookISBN);
        responseBody = doPostMethod(enterISBNURL, ISBNPostValuesMap);
        reponse = new String(responseBody);
        if (reponse != null) {//does not complete the block below error shown below
          ISBNPostValuesMap = new HashMap();          
          bookISBN = new NameValuePair("sdp-sai-asin", "1852271493");
          NameValuePair bookCondition = new NameValuePair("sdp-sai-condition-type", 
"NEW");
          NameValuePair bookComment = new NameValuePair("sdp-sai-condition-comments", 
"Brand New");
          ISBNPostValuesMap = new HashMap(); 
          ISBNPostValuesMap.put("ISBN", bookISBN);
          ISBNPostValuesMap.put("Condition", bookCondition);
          ISBNPostValuesMap.put("Comment", bookComment);
          responseBody = null;
          responseBody = doPostMethod(enterSalePriceURL, ISBNPostValuesMap);    
          
          System.out.println(responseBody);
          //reponse = new String(responseBody);
          //System.out.println(new String(reponse));
        }
        else {
          System.out.println("RESPONSE FAILED");
        }
      }

Running the above and other code I get the error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: host parameter is null
        at 
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.setHost(HttpConnection.java:228)
        at 
org.apache.commons.httpclient.SimpleHttpConnectionManager.getConnectionWithTimeout(SimpleHttpConnectionManager.java:146)200
        at 
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeMethod(HttpMethodDirector.java:161)
        at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:437)
        at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:324)
        at testhttpclient.HttpClientTutorial.doPostMethod(HttpClientTutorial.java:119)
        at testhttpclient.HttpClientTutorial.main(HttpClientTutorial.java:46)

But removing the code that produces the error makes the error go away. Any help would 
be appreciated.

Thanks
Rudy

Thank you very much, I was using port 8081, as it was given with the pac script.  

Your help has been very appreciated.
Thanks again 
Rudy

Sure. Just fill it into the example, where it says "myproxyhost" and 
8080 is the TCP port.
