Problems doing a POST request from android - android

I'm trying to login in a Django server from an android app, from the web it works fine, but when I try to do it from the app I get an Internal Server Error. I'm using HttpURLConnection:
url = new URL(loginUrl);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setUseCaches(false); // Don't use a Cached Copy
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
conn.getContent();
conn.disconnect();
CookieStore cookieJar = cManager.getCookieStore();
List <HttpCookie> cookies = cookieJar.getCookies();
String csfr = null;
for (HttpCookie cookie: cookies) {
Log.d("cookie", ""+cookie);
if(cookie.getName()=="csrftoken"){
csfr = cookie.getValue();
break;
}
}
String postParams = "csrfmiddlewaretoken="+csfr+"&username="+user+"&password="+pass+"&this_is_the_login_form=1&next=";
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true); // Allow Inputs
conn.setDoOutput(true); // Allow Outputs
conn.setUseCaches(false); // Don't use a Cached Copy
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", ""+postParams.getBytes().length);
conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0");
conn.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(postParams.getBytes().length);
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
dos.writeBytes(postParams);
dos.flush();
dos.close();
Log.d(conn.getResponseCode()+"", ""+conn.getResponseMessage());
The GET request works fine and fetch the csrf cookie just right, I don't know what I'm missing in the POST request. Here's a capture of the data posted from a browser request:
csrfmiddlewaretoken=zqvmoYTLeimB9RW5cMj5xTyLhIzR8kqr&username=user&password=123456&this_is_the_login_form=1&next=
edit:
Finally got it working, diasabled csfr protection, added some RequestProperty, read the response (getting pipe broken error en server side if not read) and added a '/' at the end of the URL. Porbably the causer of all or almost all of the error was the missing '/' on the url.
Final working coding:
url = new URL("http://XX.XXX.XXX.XXX/accounts/login/");
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setUseCaches(false); // Don't use a Cached Copy
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
conn.getContent();
conn.disconnect();
/*CookieStore cookieJar = cManager.getCookieStore();
List <HttpCookie> cookies = cookieJar.getCookies();
String csfr = null;
for (HttpCookie cookie: cookies) {
if(cookie.getName()=="csrftoken"){
csfr = cookie.getValue();
break;
}
}*/
String postParams = "username=patient1&password=123456";
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true); // Allow Inputs
conn.setDoOutput(true); // Allow Outputs
conn.setUseCaches(false); // Don't use a Cached Copy
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "keep-alive");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", ""+postParams.getBytes().length);
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,/;q=0.8");
conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
conn.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(postParams.getBytes().length);
OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
os.write(postParams.getBytes("UTF-8"));
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
while(is.read() > -1);
Log.d(conn.getResponseCode()+"", ""+conn.getResponseMessage());

You might need to disable csrf protection in your django login view.

Basic auth server response as unauthorized

I am new to android, i am using server call for signin with Basic Auth, its all works fine if i login with more than 45 letter in userid server response as Unauthorized. if user id is less than 45 letters its accepting
my server call as follows
HttpURLConnection conn=null;
URL url = new URL(url string);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setReadTimeout(60000);
String basicAuth = "Basic " + new String(Base64.encode(Username+":"+Password));
conn.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", basicAuth);
conn.connect();
Here conn.connect(); itself throws 401 : UnAuthorized
HttpURLConnection conn=null;
URL url = new URL(url string);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setReadTimeout(60000);
String publicKey = "Username:Password";//getting your key
String encodedString = Base64.encodeToString(publicKey.getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);
String basicAuth = "Basic "+ encodedString; //space after Basic is matter.
//setting header for authentication purpose, should use authorization as keyword it you change this it won't work anymore
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", basicAuth);
conn.connect();
Code as below:
String credentials = String.format("%s:%s", "username", "password");
String basicAuth = "Basic "+ Base64.encodeToString(credentials.getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);
HttpURLConnection conn=null;
URL url = new URL(url string);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setReadTimeout(60000);
conn.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", basicAuth);
conn.connect();

FileNotFoundException for site with tilde when using httpurlconnection

There is a strange problem when trying post some data to site with tilde.
How could I fix that in Android?
For example, this is my site:
http://host-site.com/~username/form.php
Here is my code for that:
url = new URL(hostSiteString);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Host", "myHost");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "keep-alive");
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(urlConnection.getOutputStream());
bos.write(readyToken.getBytes(), 0, readyToken.length());
bos.flush();
bos.close();
Found solution, I had to decode my url.
String decode = URLDecoder.decode(hostSiteString);
url = new URL(decode);

HttpsURLConnection setDoOutput(true) isn't working

So I am currently writing an android app that will get tweets from a particular user, using Twitter's 1.1 Application-only-auth, which requires a POST HTTP request to get a bearer token. I have a method set up that uses an HttpsURLConnection to open a connection, but
conn.setDoOutput(true); method isn't working
conn.doOutput stays false
the request stays the default GET.
Am I doing something wrong?
This method is called in an AsyncTask's doInBackground() method:
public String getRequestBearerToken(String endUrl) throws IOException {
String encodedCred = encodeKeys("API-key", "API-secret");
HttpsURLConnection connection = null;
try {
URL url = new URL(endUrl);
connection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
// POST request properties
connection.setRequestProperty("Host", "api.twitter.com");
connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", getResources()
.getString(R.string.app_name));
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic "
+ encodedCred);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", "29");
connection.setUseCaches(false);

URLEncoded HttpPost with nested parameters

how to post nested parameters using httppost with urlencoding?for example
{
"album": {
"photos":[
{"id":"1"},
{"id":"2"},
{"id":"3"}
]
},
"name":"jhon",
"uid":"abc#gmail.com",
"pwd":"password"
}
how to post the "album" parameters. name,uid,pwd are basic nameValuePairs.
You can go ahead and create json object and then send it as follows
JsonObject jsonObject = /** Create your json Object **/
And then use it to post to the server
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
URL url = //Your URL HERE
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setConnectTimeout(10000);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setUseCaches(false);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
wr.writeBytes(jsonObject.toString());
wr.flush();
wr.close();
conn.connect();
