POST Request with token

Question

1. Start an HTTP request via POST method for the authentication URL, with the following parameters:

   • login
   • password

   sponse = http://api.dominio.com:8025/name/login? token="MY_TOKEN"

2. The response of the request made in 1 will have as a response another URL. This URL represents the location of the instance of the system to which the user belongs, so a new request should be made for the URL you have entered.

Does anyone know how to do step two? I’m using Android Asynchronous Http Client

An example in Linux bash/shell script

Answer 1

See if it’s about that (if the token has to go inside the post):

  HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
  HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://api.dominio.com:8025/name/login");

  try {
     List nameValuePairs = new ArrayList();

     // Aqui setamos o token:
     nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("token", "ab124b3a1c2f"));
     // repita a linha de cima quantas vezes necessário,
     // com outras variaveis e parâmetros desejados.

     httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
     HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
  } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
     // trate dos erros aqui
  } catch (IOException e) {
     // e aqui
  }

Note that I didn’t post the code using async, I put the answer only as an initial reference. Depending on the case, the async ends up disrupting the flow when it comes to interdependent requests, as you have to manage events in your code.

Edit: you may need to use it this way by putting the whole URL here:

 HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost( response );

and remove the POST token, leaving only the other necessary variables, if any:

 nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("variavel1", "valor1..."));
 nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("variavel2", "valor2..."));
