Java HTTP POST request using HttpClient API.

HTTP POST requests are an essential part of web applications and help in several ways that benefit the world. The HttpClient API provides a simple and modern way to make HTTP requests and handle HTTP responses in Java applications. Some of the ways that HTTP POST requests help:  

• Data Submission: HTTP POST requests are commonly used to submit data to a web server, such as user input, form data, and file uploads. This enables web applications to receive and process data, enhance user experience, generate reports, or facilitate data analysis.  
• API Integration: Many web APIs require HTTP POST requests to enable developers to interact with their services. APIs are increasingly being used by businesses and organizations to enable data sharing, service integration, and automation of various business processes.  
• E-commerce: HTTP POST requests are widely used in e-commerce applications to handle payment transactions. For example, when a user makes a payment on an e-commerce website, an HTTP POST request is sent to the payment gateway, which handles the payment processing and returns the result to the web application.  
• Security: HTTP POST requests can provide secure communication between web applications and servers. This is particularly important in applications that handle sensitive data, such as user authentication, where HTTPS and POST requests encrypt and protect data.  
• 
  

This code facilitates efficient and effective client-server communication and contributes to developing robust and secure web applications which can benefit the world.  

• httpPostRequest() is the name of the Java method that contains the code for making an HTTP POST request using the Java 11+ HttpClient API. The method name follows the standard Java naming conventions, which use camelCase to name methods, and the name should ideally reflect the functionality or purpose of the method.  
• POST() is a method provided by the HttpRequest class in the Java 11+ HttpClient API. The POST() method is used to set the HTTP method of the request to POST.  
• send() is a method provided by the HttpClient class in the Java 11+ HttpClient API. The send() method sends an HttpRequest to a URI using the HTTP method specified in the HttpRequest.  

Overall, HTTP POST requests are an essential part of web application development and enable efficient communication and data exchange, which can enhance user experience, facilitate business processes, and contribute to data-driven decision-making. 

Preview of the output that you will get on running this code.

Code

in this function we have used http client function in java

Instructions

1. Open Eclipse IDE on your computer.
2. Create a new Java project by selecting File -> New -> Java Project from the top menu bar.
3. Give a name to your project and click Finish.
4. Create a new Java class by selecting your project in the Package Explorer panel on the left, right-clicking on it, selecting New -> Class, and giving it a name.
5. Copy and paste the Java code you want to run into this new class.
6. Save the file by selecting File -> Save from the top menu bar.
7. Right-click on the Java class in the Package Explorer panel and select Run As -> Java Application.
8. If there are no errors in your code, the output will be displayed in the Console panel at the bottom of the screen.

Note:-

• In this code there is no main method so please add this in your code, Change your class name as users desire

public class HTTP{

public static void main (String[]args) throws URISyntaxException, IOException, InterruptedException {

HTTP.httpPostRequest();

}

• Add these statments in starting of the code

import java.io.IOException;

import java.net.URI;

import java.net.URISyntaxException;

import java.net.http.HttpClient;

import java.net.http.HttpRequest;

import java.net.http.HttpRequest.BodyPublishers;

import java.net.http.HttpResponse;

import java.net.http.HttpResponse.BodyHandlers;

• In you code Remove this line of code [String responseBody = response.body(); ] and paste it with this

[String responseBody = (String)response.body();]

I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.

I found this code snippet by searching for "Send http request in java" in Kandi. You can try any such use case!

Dependent Library

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

1. The solution is created and executed in java version "1.8.0_251"
2. The solution is tested in java.io version "2.16.0"

In this solution we are going to Send HTTP Request in java with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy to use, hassle free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us Send HTTP Request in java.
