Hi there,

I want to send some data like the following to a php page:

http://www.website/index.php?msg=Hello

How do I call this without using a web browser on the Blackberry?

Thanks!

You create an HTTP connection.

See the HTTPDemo source that ships with the JDE sample programs, and review this sticky thread:

Hi

Yea I used some of the code from that example:

try {
s = (StreamConnection)Connector.open("http://www.website.com/index.php?msg=999999999");
httpConn = (HttpConnection)s;
} 
catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

 However its not working.

When I go through the browser on the simulater it works fine!

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Did you start MDS? This is required if you are doing an HTTP connection to simulates a BES network (i.e., no connection suffix).

You can go direct TCP on the simulator if you add ";deviceside=false" to your URL.

Did you review the sticky thread I linked above? All is explained.

Hi, how do I display the data of the php results?

direct would be ;deviceside=true.

In any case, it is better to use http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/7.1.0api/net/rim/device/api/io/transport/ConnectionFactory...
