tumblr authentication problem - android

I am trying to build a tumblr client in android but am running into response code 403 - Forbidden.
The api docs suggest i use email and password parameters to validate credentials and get account information.
I have tried out the following code but as specified get a 403 response code.
can anyone suggest what i m doing wrong.
String url = "http://www.tumblr.com/api/authenticate";
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, 20000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, 20000);
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
UsernamePasswordCredentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(_username + ":" + _password);
httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(new AuthScope(null,-123),credentials);
HttpPost method = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(method);
response.getStatusLine().toString(); // this gives me a 403 res code (Forbidden)..

Here's what i use in my app to authenticate:
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(
"http://www.tumblr.com/api/authenticate");
try {
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("email", Username));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", Password));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != 200) {
return false;
}
return true;
}

Sending the data to the server using HttpPost Request in android

I am sending the string value to the php file on the server like this:
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("serverurl");
Log.d("httppost..", httppost + "");
try {
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data", dataCount + ""));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

But, I am not seeing any data which I have sent from the app.
Thanks for any help.

How to post string to server using BasicNameValuePair

I'm trying to post combination of string to my backend server. How can I achieve that using BasicNameValuePair. Here are some code which I was trying:
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
params.setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("API HERE");
List<NameValuePair> postData = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
postData.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", "the_username"));
postData.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", "the_password"));
I want to send username and password like:
username=USER&password=PWD
How to achieve the successful post to the server.
Help will be appreciated.
The following is what I use for all of my POST variables:
HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParams);
HttpPost httpPost;
httpPost = new HttpPost(Net_URL + Net_Get);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(/*Name Value Pairs*/));
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
As a side suggestion, I would first do an some sort of encryption of a users password before sending it over the network, I have seen many who do not do this ^.^

How to post data having HTML content in query string

I need to post my string to server having html content,
Here is my code
Url Builder
Uri.Builder builder = new Uri.Builder()
.scheme("http")
.authority(domain)
.path(pageName)
.appendQueryParameter("myaction", "dopost")
.appendQueryParameter("mesg", msg.replace("\n","<br />"));
And the generated url looks like
domainname/pagename?myaction=dopost&mesg=Hello%2C%3Cbr%20%2F%3E%3Cbr%20%2F%3ETesting
execute http code
HttpGet getRequest = new HttpGet(url);
getRequest.setHeader(CONTENT_TYPE, MIME_TEXT_HTML); // html/text, utf-8
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = client.execute(getRequest);
but this will not posted getting forbidden error after executing
Thank in advance
maybe a silly mistake, but a post usually is done with an HttpPost instead of an HttpGet
and looks like this:
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "AndDev is Cool!"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
}

Android HttpPost - Send request in cp1251

I send request with this code:
final DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
List<NameValuePair> pairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("number", pNumber));
final HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(URL_MAIN);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs));
client.execute(httpPost);
It sends request in UTF-8, but I need cp1251 (site works only with this CP). How to encode it into the cp1251?
