I have looked at many questions regarding this same problem and have tried many proposed solutions without success. The one located here seems the most relevant, as the comment by RedSonic answered why this isn't working.
I am trying to make a POST or PUT request to my server using Java's Apache library.
public static void put(String caseNumber,DefaultHttpClient httpClient)
throws Exception {
HttpPut putRequest = new HttpPut(
"http://localhost:8888/servlet/example1/" + caseNumber);
putRequest.addHeader("Version", version);
// putRequest.setHeader("Content-Type", content);
// putRequest.addHeader(new BasicHeader("ContentType", content));
putRequest.setHeader("Accept", accept);
putRequest.setHeader("Date", date);
List <NameValuePair> nvpsPut = new ArrayList <NameValuePair>();
nvpsPut.add(new BasicNameValuePair("group", jsonPostGroup));
putRequest.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvpsPut));
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(putRequest);
}
I have tried creating a separate entity and setting the entity's content type, then set the entity to the request. I've tried other things as well, but I can't manage to get the request to have the content type that I want to be passed in without the parameters I'm attempting to send over going blank.
Have also tried
HttpPut putRequest = new HttpPut("http://localhost:8888/servlet/example1/" + caseNumber);
putRequest.addHeader("Version", version);
putRequest.setHeader("Content-Type", content);
putRequest.setHeader("Accept", accept);
putRequest.setHeader("Date", date);
BasicHttpParams bhp = new BasicHttpParams();
bhp.setParameter("test", jsonPostGroup);
putRequest.setParams(bhp);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(putRequest);

Edit: I have found a few other suggestions that I've tried. Such as setting the parameters on the httpclient instead of the request (which doesn't make much sense in this scenario) but I experienced the same issue.
Edit 8/23: I'm still able to pass parameters via the setting the Entity, and giving the entity a name + value pair. However, as mentioned, this hoses the content-type. Any more thoughts before I give up entirely?
