Re: [Connotea-code-devel] post not implemented ?

[Benjamin G. <go...@in...>]

Had already tried that one (as well as pretending to be a browser).
Doing my best to figure out what the difference is.. but no luck so  
far.  Here is the method I'm using (authentication not included but  
working fine).

-ben

public String postToConnotea(String url){
		String response = "";
		BufferedReader in = null;
		try {
			URL connoU = new URL(url);

			HttpURLConnection conno = (HttpURLConnection) connoU.openConnection 
();
			conno.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "WWW::Connotea");
			conno.setRequestMethod("POST");
			conno.setDoOutput(true);
			int code = conno.getResponseCode();
			System.out.println("code "+code+" for request url "+url);
			switch(code){
			case 400:
				conno.disconnect();
				System.err.println("400 - Server did not like form of the request");
				return null;
			case 401:
				conno.disconnect();
				System.err.println("401 - Server did not accept user credentials");
				return null;
			case 404:
				conno.disconnect();
				System.err.println("404 - Query returned no results");
				return null;
			case 503:
				conno.disconnect();
				System.err.println("503 - Connotea server failed to respond");
				return null;
			default: //200 all good
				System.out.println("server accepted request, retrieving data");
				in = new BufferedReader(
						new InputStreamReader(
								conno.getInputStream()));
				if(in!=null){
					response = in.readLine();
					in.close();
				}
				conno.disconnect();
			}

		}catch (MalformedURLException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (Exception e) { //catch other exceptions here (like  
SaxParsing exceptions reading RDF)
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return response;
	}
