I'm using loopj/android-async-http after having the same problem with the ignition project.
When I submit a GET, without the authorization header, things work fine:
AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
client.get(url, params, responseHandler);
I'm sending to a Jersey server and the logging filter shows the expected data:
INFO: 1 * Server in-bound request
1 > GET http://mydomain.com/myresource/
1 > host: mydomain.com
1 > accept-encoding: gzip
1 > user-agent: android-async-http/1.4.0 (http://loopj.com/android-async-http)
1 > connection: Keep-Alive
An authenticated GET works as well.
If I do the same thing with a POST request to the same URL:
AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
String auth = user + ":" + pass;
client.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64.encodeToString(auth.getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT));
client.post(context, url, entity, "application/json", responseHandler);
The server doesn't show multiple bits of information that I expect to see and I don't understand why:
INFO: 2 * Server in-bound request
2 > POST http://mydomain.com/myresource/
2 > host: mydomain.com
2 > accept-encoding: gzip
2 > authorization: Basic GFzasomethingvalidhereXN0
2 > connection: Keep-Alive
Why don't I see the "Content-Type" header? This is the main problem I'm having because my Jersey resource is annotated to consume application/json data
Why don't I see the "user-agent" header?
My Jersey resource:
@Service
@Path("/myresource/")
public class MyResource {
@POST
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public MyDTO myEndPointMethod(MyDTO myDTO) {
//something cool here
}
