Android Question http and okhttp problem

panagiotisden2 · Mar 5, 2017

hello, i have an app where i communicate with a website via http jobs.
the app works great with http and httputils2. if i switch to okhttp and okhttputils2 a download request does not return the content i want.
i use multiple jobs(one to login to the website, one to load content etc) the login part works and i get the results but other jobs cant give me the correct content. i suspect the cookies because i use eg. job1 to login end job2 to do something else and it may fail because it cant get the cookies loaded from job1.

any help here?
what is the deference between http and okhttp that may make it to fail?
thanks

Cookies are handled automatically by both Http and OkHttp libraries. It is possible that OkHttp is more strict with the various domain rules. Are you calling the same domain / subdomain each time?

yes its the same domain. the site it http (not https) is this a possible reason?

No. The problem is somewhere else.

ok, where should i start from searching?

Which content is returned? Does it say that you are not logged in?

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
    <div id="container">
        <button id="leave_test" onclick="window.location='/'; return false;">return</button>
        <p style="font-size: 150%; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; position: absolute; top: 4em; left: 25%">no more questions for this test</p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

i was only getting this content when a timeout occurred (user inactive for more than 30 minutes) now i get it immediately.

note:
"http://domain.gr/site/ajax/tool.category.select.php" -this returns correct (its a download request)
"http://domain.gr/site/ajax/tool.category.questions.php" -this too (its a post request)
"http://domain.gr/gr/student/login" -login is successful and i get the correct data (its a post request)
"http://domain.gr/gr/student/test/1" -this returns correct too and i get the content after login (its a download request)
"http://www.domain.gr/test.php" -this fails i get the above error (its a post request)

Hard to say without examining the network traffic. I recommend you to keep using Http / HttpUtils2 for now.

panagiotisden2 · Mar 5, 2017

ok thanks.
will i have any disadvantages with using http/httputils2 ?

1. You will need to reference android.jar from platform 22 or below (your app will be supported by all versions).
2. Generally speaking OkHttp is more powerful and is the recommended http engine.

i already have android.jar v21 so that wont be a problem

ok i will stick to http for now, and i will find some time to investigate it more later.

thanks for the info
