Starting arguments

in Contributed Library Questions • 1 year ago

I found this code, and it is calling the url like it should, but I would like to be able to send variables to the web server too. The variables would be defined in arguments when the file is opened, but how do I do that?

This is the first time I am trying to make something like this, so I am pretty much just on the copy/paste/modify stage. ;)

import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
void setup()
{
String prop = System.getProperty("key");
String url = "http://url.com&name=" + prop;
try
{
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost( url );
HttpParams postParams = new BasicHttpParams();
//postParams.setParameter( "your_name", "John Smith" );
//postParams.setParameter( "fruit", "Apricot" ); // Configure the form parameters
//httpPost.setParams( postParams );
println( "executing request: " + httpPost.getRequestLine() );
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute( httpPost );
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
println("----------------------------------------");
println( response.getStatusLine() );
println("----------------------------------------");
if ( entity != null ) entity.writeTo( System.out );
if ( entity != null ) entity.consumeContent();
httpClient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
}
catch( Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
exit();
}

For such program, where there is no graphical output, and where you expect to get command line arguments, you better use pure Java... Not obvious at first sight, but at least there are plenty of tutorials on the Net to get you started.
