Hi,

I m opening HttpConnection with 

HttpConnection connection = null;
             
try 
{
    connection = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(targetURL);
    int status = connection.getResponseCode();
    System.out.println("status is : " + status);
             
    if (status == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK)
    {
       System.out.println("HttpConnection.HTTP_OK : "+connection.getResponseMessage());
       connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
       //connection.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
       System.out.println("connection.setRequestMethod(POST);
       /*connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
       connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");
                 	
                     
       //Send request
       wr = new DataOutputStream(connection.openOutputStream());                     
                     wr.writeChars(sendRequest);
                     wr.flush();
                     wr.close
       }
} 
catch (IOException e) 
{
    System.err.println("ERROR =====> " + e.toString()+":: "+e.getMessage());
    e.printStackTrace();
}
 

 But I m getting

java.io.IOException: null for setRequestMethod("POST")

Till that executes fine.

What is the problem in my code?

You're doing it in the wrong sequence. You have to do the setRequestMethod(), setRequestProperty() and openOutputStream() before you invoke getResponseCode().

Ok. Thanks

I will try like that & let u know.

[johnbibs]

you already invoked the getResponseMessage()/getResponseCode().
