cURL equivalent in Java

curl, java

Solution

I use the HttpClient methods:

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpException;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;

like so:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpMethod method = new GetMethod("http://www.google.com");
int responseCode = client.executeMethod(method);
if (responseCode != 200) {
    throw new HttpException("HttpMethod Returned Status Code: " + responseCode + " when attempting: " + url);
}
String rtn = StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml(method.getResponseBodyAsString());

EDIT: Oops. StringEscapeUtils comes from commons-lang. http://commons.apache.org/lang/api/org/apache/commons/lang/StringEscapeUtils.html

Problem

I had ``` exec( "curl". " --cert $this->_cCertifikatZPKomunikace". " --cacert $this->_cCertifikatPortalCA". " --data \"request=".urlencode($fc_xml)."\"". " --output $lc_filename_stdout". " $this->_cPortalURL". " 2>$lc_filename_stderr", $la_dummy,$ln_RetCode ); ``` in php. I have to do it via java. Can you help me? Thanks Jakub
