Android Question Accessing Google Maps API & Download vs. Download2

[KMatle]

Probably I'm blind, but

this works with Download only

GetDirectionsJob.Download("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=K%C3%B6ln&destination=Kerpen&key=AIzaxxxxxxxxx")

but doesn't with Download2 (Don't be irritated about the char ö)

GetDirectionsJob.Download2("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json", _
              Array As String("origin","Köln","destination","Kerpen","key","AIzaxxxxxx"))

   "error_message" : "Invalid request. Missing the 'address', 'bounds', 'components', 'latlng' or 'place_id' parameter.",

Any ideas? Never had such an issue. By the way: Can the generated get request be logged to see the format?

if it worked before on another site then you were just lucky as they checked all transfered content or used POST to retrieve the values..

here they apparently only check for url based GET values and not POST.

this is how they pull the values in their backend.

It has nothing to do with POST requests.

I don't see any reason for it not to work. You should indeed check the output.
The source code is available here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/okhttp-replaces-the-http-library.54723/#content
It should be simple to log the parameters.

indeed, it's still GET. I thought it was the post version of download.

Ehm. My fault. Accidently I've copied different LINKS ("directions" vs. "geocode"). So of course Google complains about it...
