Java request only works when

Question

This is my code:

String httpURL = "http://codespeed_server:8000/result/add/"; URL myurl = new URL(httpURL); HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) myurl.openConnection(); con.setDoOutput(true); DataOutputStream output = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream()); output.writeBytes(query);

Can anybody tell me why this only works when I trail to it:

con.getResponseCode();

? The server only gets new entries when I call getResponseCode(). Is it a normal behavior ? Or is it a server-side issue ?

If you take out the con.getResponseCode(), what happens? Show what you do after writeBytes(). — Sotirios Delimanolis

Out of interest, does it get written if you call output.close() or output.flush() afterwards? — Steve Chambers

The URLConnection does not make a connection until one of the getResponse*, getInputStream methods (or other method which requires response data) is called (or connect()).
