groovy HTTP Builder not returning results

Question

I have the following code in groovy

HTTPBuilder http = new HTTPBuilder("https://ronna-afghan.harmonieweb.org/_layouts/searchrss.aspx")



        http.request(Method.GET, groovyx.net.http.ContentType.XML) {

            // set username and password for basic authentication
            // set username and password for basic auth
            //http.auth.basic(ConfigurationHolder.config.passportService.userName,
            //        ConfigurationHolder.config.passportService.password)
            headers.'User-Agent' = 'Mozilla/5.0'

            uri.query = [k:'execution']

            // response handler for a success response code:
            response.success = {resp, xml ->
                println resp.statusLine



                log.debug "response status: ${resp.statusLine}"
                log.debug xml.toString()

            }

            // handler for any failure status code:
            response.failure = {resp ->
                log.error " ${resp.statusLine.statusCode} : ${resp.statusLine.reasonPhrase}"
            }


        }

when I run the code, it doesn't give me the rss feed which I'm suppose to get

When I have the same code in java

try {
            // Create a URLConnection object for a URL
            URL oracle = new URL(
                    "https://ronna-afghan.harmonieweb.org/_layouts/srchrss.aspx?k=execution&count=1&format=rss");

            URLConnection yc = oracle.openConnection();
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    yc.getInputStream()));
            String inputLine;

            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(inputLine);
                in.close();
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

        }
    }

it returns the xml Rss. I can't figure what the issue might be. Everything looks okay to me in the groovy code and also the Http return code is 200.

The code that you have described in Java is the equivalent of the following code in Groovy:

def oracle = "https://ronna-afghan.harmonieweb.org/_layouts/srchrss.aspx?k=execution&count=1&format=rss".toURL().text

Makes sense. Its working now. I had the URL being read from config file and it had an typo in there. Due to which the get was failing. Both the codes are returning correct results. – allthenutsandbolts Feb 21 '12 at 18:16
