Modify the POST header [duplicate]

Question

The XML-RPC server I am trying to communicate with requires that each request contains the following in the first line of the HTTP header:

POST /Air HTTP/1.1

however the following code we used,

urlc = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection(); urlc.setConnectTimeout(180000); urlc.addRequestProperty("User-Agent", "AVAYA/3.1/1.0"); urlc.addRequestProperty("Authorization","Basic QXZheWE6QXZheWE="); urlc.addRequestProperty("Content-type", "text/xml"); urlc.setDoOutput(true); urlc.setRequestMethod("POST");

which results in....

POST HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Avaya/3.1/1.0 Authorization: Basic QXZheWE6QXZheWE= Content-type: text/xml

i.e. without the "/Air" bit.

Please help us in modifying the POST header

I'm not all that familiar with what you're trying to do, but I have the feeling that using HTTPURLConnection will not suit your needs. Consider using Apache HTTPClient. Good luck. — Steve P.

@BrianRoach I understand that. I wasn't sure if you could modify the POST HTTP/1.1 through Java HttpURLConnection. Apparently, I guess you can. — Steve P.

It wouldn't be very good at HTTP if you couldn't specify an URL ... — Brian Roach

Make sure the "/Air" part is included in your url. Currently it's not.
