Question

How to set type of http request, using org.apache.* library? For example, if I need POST request:

HttpPost hp=new HttpPost("http://server.com");

or GET

HttpGet hg=new HttpGet("http://server.com");

It works fine. But in my project I want to use only one function for all types of requests, because I need also PUT and DELETE requests.

So, how can I set type of request in DefaultHttpClient or (if it’s impossible) how can I create PUT and DELETE requests?

Answer 1

HttpMethod httpMethod = new HttpPost("http://server.com");

In your common function you can use httpMethod.getName(); which will return the type of HTTP call you are doing.

Syntax for PUT/DELETE method are:

  HttpMethod httpMethod = new PutMethod("http://server.com");
  HttpMethod httpMethod = new DeleteMethod("http://server.com");
