Question

Here is my httppost method from my android app. It is not accepting lenthy urls. There is no reponse/exception for lengthy urls. When I enter the same url manually in browser it works fine. Can anyone point out the issue here?

    try {
        // defaultHttpClient
        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);

        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
        HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
        is = httpEntity.getContent();           

    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Update:
Added one sample url. The same url works fine when manually entered in browser and it gives response.

 url.com/data?format=json&pro={%22merchanturl%22:%22http://url.com/logo.pn‌​g%22,%22price%22:599,%22productDesc%22:%22Apple%2032GBBlack%22,%22prodID%22:%2291‌​3393%22,%22merchant%22:%224536%22,%22prourl%22:%22http://url.com/data%22,%22name%‌​22:%22Apple%2032GB%20%2D%20Black%22,%22productUrl%22:%22http://www.url.com/image.‌​jpg%22,%22myprice%22:550,%22mercname%22:%22hello%22,%22mybool%22:false}

public void postData() {
// 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);

} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
}
