I have an android application where I have authentication and authorization services. Recently we had to change our URL's from http to https. I really don't want to resubmit app to the app store with urls changed to https.
Main problem I am facing is, asynchttpclient returning status code 200 without response, why I am not getting 301 which I am getting when I try to call service through advanced rest client.
I tried this already:
aesHttpClient.getHttpClient().getParams().setParameter(ClientPNames.ALLOW_CIRCULAR_REDIRECTS, false);
I want to know how can I redirect in asynchttpclient?
Please help
AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient()；
client.setEnableRedirects(true);

I try to send POST requests (like forms) from my Android application to my Symfony backend but when I hit the 'Send' button for example, an Android FileNotFoundException ('http://192.168.1.84/1day-symfony/web/app_dev.php/api/request') is thrown. Maybe it is caused by the rewritten URL.
I do not know how to fix it...
Using Volley fixes the issue of the rewritten URLs.
So basically i need my android app to connect to a web service using a url as such
"http://username:password#0.0.0.0" aka basic authentication.
obviously the username and password are checked by the web app before allowing access and otherwise doesn't allow the request.
my issue is that all the methods i try always say unauthorised (response code 401) regardless of what combination of classes and methods ive used to try and connect to the the url.
The web app in question is designed to return things only is un/pw clears otherwise it returns nothing, the web app and un/pw etc have all be checked and cleared.
so does anyone no the correct way to send a request to a url like that and have it work correctly?
android api8 btw
UPDATE
Turns out my issue is due to the web app using NTLM windows authentication which is not supported directly by androids/apache http library, investigating appropriate workarounds now
Here's some code form a really old project of mine. I used basic auth for some web service, and this worked at the time. I'm not sure if there are updated api's since then (this was Android 1.6), but it should still work.
HttpGet request = new HttpGet();
request.setURI(new URI(url));
UsernamePasswordCredentials credentials =
new UsernamePasswordCredentials(authUser, authPass);
BasicScheme scheme = new BasicScheme();
Header authorizationHeader = scheme.authenticate(credentials, request);
request.addHeader(authorizationHeader);
Basically, Basic HTTP auth is a simple hash of the user and password. The browser allows you to stuff these values in the url, but it actually does the work of adding the basic auth header to your request.
In my android app i keep getting timeouts in the messages between the app and my server.
In an attempt to see if the problem is in the app or my server,
i want to try and Send an HTTP request from my app to
some other server i am sure is up and reliable and then see if i get timeouts.
Is there any server address i can check against?
Thanks in advance!
BTW : i am using a glass Fish servlet for my server
We've successfully sent a simple HTTP GET to google.com -- with a couple of fall-backs (I've also seen internic.org used) in the past, in similar cases.
I'm writing an HTTP client in Android that connects to glassfish on my localhost and sends some json information to the server.
I use:
UsernamePasswordCredentials cred =
new UsernamePasswordCredentials(SettingsHelper.mUser, SettingsHelper.mPwd);
client.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, cred);
for authontication, and making a put request.
The problem is sometimes, the client sends an unauthorized request before retrying and sending an authorized one, and on the second time, it pushes the json entity, before getting a proper response from the server (100 - continue). then, the server doesn't respond at all, and everything hangs.
i will note that sometimes it works.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? How might I resolve it?
finally managed to make it work with basic pre-emptive authontication.
example here
this Android code worked fine before, but i'm having problems for some reason. here is the request i'm trying to make:
https://www.google.com/reader/api/0/token
i'm getting 400:Bad Request as a response, and i'm not sure why. isn't this the correct URL for requesting a token? the auth token is being passed as a header in all requests now, and i can request feed list, and it works just fine, so there's nothing wrong with the auth code. what gives?
in addition, i can request a token in a normal browser, like Chrome, and get a token as a response body. so the request itself is not the problem. i just can't figure out what is wrong with my requests in code...
the answer is to use http rather than https. if anyone else is having trouble getting tokens from the unofficial google reader api, check whether you are using secure http or not.
