Hi,
I have little experience with writing to Http socket. I am trying to send data to another computer through Http protocol, just like having a chat between two application but instead of using Socket connection I want to use Http connection. The server writes to http connection data and the client receives it: text, files, etc... is this possible?
I tried to send text and integers to an URL and then read from that URL. I write something to the URL but when I read from it, it returns to sourcecode of that page :(.
Is it possible to use Http connection instead of socket connection for an application such as socket.. to transfer files and messages?
try {
URL url = new URL("http://abcdefg.com");
try {
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
DataOutputStream d = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
String data = "123";
data = URLEncoder.encode(data, "UTF-8");
d.writeUTF(data);
d.flush();
d.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(chatServer.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(chatServer.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
////////////////////////
try {
URL url = new URL("http://abcdefg.com");
try {
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
DataInputStream input = new DataInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
System.out.println("numar = "+input.readUTF());
input.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(chatServer.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(chatServer.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}Thanks for reading.
