Re: URLConnection

This was helpfull, I have an idea how to do it now but I can't seem to
figure out how to specify the web page with out getting "unreported
exception java.net.MalformedURLException; must be caught or declared to
be thrown" error

if i remove the URL line the program complies with out error

error -> URL url = new URL("http://www.kingsofchaos.com");
        String user="", email="", pass="",body1="";
        user = UserText.getText();
        email = EmailText.getText();
        pass = PasswordText.getText();

        body1 = ("field1="+user+"&field2="+email+"&field3="+pass+"");
        outputTA.setText(body1);
~~~~~~~going to call function~~~~~

static public String getURLPostString(URL url, String body) {
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

    // find the newline character(s) on the current system
        String newline = null;
        try {
            newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            newline = "\n";
        }

        try {
        // URL must use the http protocol!
            HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
            conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
            conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false); // you may not ask the
user
            conn.setDoOutput(true); // we want to send things
            // the Content-type should be default, but we set it anyway
            conn.setRequestProperty( "Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" );
            // the content-length should not be necessary, but we're
cautious
            conn.setRequestProperty( "Content-length",
Integer.toString(body.length()));

            // get the output stream to POST our form data
            OutputStream rawOutStream = conn.getOutputStream();
            PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(rawOutStream);

            pw.print(body); // here we "send" our body!
            pw.flush();
            pw.close();

            // get the input stream for reading the reply
            // IMPORTANT! Your body will not get transmitted if you get
the
            // InputStream before completely writing out your output
first!
            InputStream rawInStream = conn.getInputStream();

            // get response
            BufferedReader rdr = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(rawInStream));
            String line;

            while ((line = rdr.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line);
                sb.append(newline);
            }
            return sb.toString();
        } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception "+e.toString());
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
        return ""; // an exception occurred
    }
