java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400

[Hassam Khan]

I am getting this exception "java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400" while getting InputStream. Whereas, hitting the same URL in IExplorer gave the successful response. Please find below the code. Please help. Thanks.

Regards,
Hassam


URL hostURL = new URL("https://www.domain.com/abc?paramters=values");

HttpURLConnection urlcon = (HttpURLConnection) hostURL.openConnection();
urlcon.setRequestMethod("GET");
urlcon.setDoOutput(true);
urlcon.setDoInput(true);
urlcon.setUseCaches(false);

BufferedReader inputdata = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlcon.getInputStream()));

400 error code means "bad request". It may be that the url only accepts POST requests or there is something that is not properly URL encoded in your parameters.
