Question

im writing a java application that sends a post request to a server and expect a json from the server. Now when i need to get the response from the server do i only need to get it from the inputStream when the http code is 200 (HTTP OK) or is there any other cases ? , example :

//...
if (urlConn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
// only here try to get the response 
}
//...

It depends on how the server is implemented. Check the API, if the server has one. If it’s internal, ask your server guy.

Generally speaking, if your response code is either 2xx or 3xx, I would check the response anyway…
