Question

So I am working on a CouchDB Gui Toolbox for easier maintaining an setting up CouchDB on Android, as Futon is quite uncomfortable on a small mobile device.

I wanted to stick to the “org.apache.http.client.*” packages for this which was working out quite well until I wanted to setup administrators..

With the commandline tool “curl” it works like a charm:

curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/_config/admins/username -d '"password"'

But I keep on having big problems translating that to a “org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPut()” method.

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

HttpPut put = new HttpPut("http://127.0.0.1:5984/_config/admins/username");
put.setEntity(new StringEntity("\"password\""));
client.execute(put);
