Hello,
I use this code (snipped) to make an HTTP post and receive compresed data via MDS with the simulator:
URLEncodedPostData encoder = new URLEncodedPostData(null,false);
encoder.append("t", data1);
encoder.append("s", data2);
String postStr = encoder.toString();
String url = "http://www.server.com/index.php;deviceside=false";
this.httpConnection = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
this.httpConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
this.httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", String.valueOf(postStr.toString().getBytes("UTF-8").length));
this.httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
this.httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "gzip");
this.httpConnection.setRequestProperty("x-rim-transcode-content", "none");
this.httpOutputStream = new OutputStreamWriter(this.httpConnection.openDataOutputStream(), "UTF-8");
this.httpOutputStream.write(postStr);
int rc = this.httpConnection.getResponseCode();
if(rc == 200) {
String encoding = this.httpConnection.getEncoding();
this.httpInput = this.httpConnection.openInputStream();
if(null != encoding && encoding.equalsIgnoreCase("gzip")) {
this.httpInput = new GZIPInputStream(this.httpInput);
}
}
}
This works fine with SOME servers. I receive a gzipped stream and properly uncompress it.
The problem is that I cannot serve compressed data to my code from my own server. I run Apache 2 and have tested with both gzip and deflate. Both work fine and serve up compressed pages to browsers. But when this code requests a page, getEncoding() always returns null.
Is there something I have to set on my server to allow it to send compressed data to a BlackBerry? What about on the code side?
I hope I made sense and thanks for the help.
Ty
