500 Internal Server Error with POST Requests

Here is my code for the POST request to the server. The JSON to be posted to the server : ``` { "User": { "Name": "dog","Password": "123" } } ``` How I am creating the JSON Object ``` object = new JSONObject(); JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(); try { jsonObject.put("Name", "dog"); jsonObject.put("Password", "123"); } catch (JSONException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } try { object.put("User", jsonObject); } catch (JSONException e1) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace(); } ``` Posting to the server as ``` public HttpResponse request(JSONObject request) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException, IllegalStateException, JSONException { client = (DefaultHttpClient) WebClientDevWrapper .getNewHttpClient(); HttpPost post = new HttpPost( "https://wbapi.cloudapp.net:443/api/User/LocalLogin/"); post.setEntity(new StringEntity(request.toString(), "utf-8")); HttpResponse response = client.execute(post); return response; } ``` Along with classes provided by Paresh Mayani Here Send HTTPS Post Request to the server I am getting the response object. But my response.getStatusLine() keeps showing 500/ Internal server error for only POST requests. Note : GET requests are working fine. What is the Problem in my code ? How can I tackle this error ? Changed the request code as ( As recommended by Bhavdip Pathar) ``` public HttpResponse request(JSONObject request) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException, IllegalStateException, JSONException { HttpPost post = new HttpPost( "https://wbapi.cloudapp.net:443/api/User/LocalLogin/"); // post.setEntity(new StringEntity(request.toString(), "utf-8")); StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(request.toString(), HTTP.UTF_8); entity.setContentType("application/json"); post.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"); post.setHeader("Accept", "application/json"); post.setEntity(entity); HttpResponse response = client.execute(post); return response; } ``` I did set application/json and voila , I am getting HTTP/200 OK.
