Need Java Expert Help on Executing HTTP GET with Cookie -


my problem want use java implement application sends http request website. however, target website needs 1 cookie set:

shippingcountry=us

if cookie not set returns bad indications. below code segment , null connect().

string urlstring = "http://www1.macys.com/catalog/index.ognc?categoryid=5449&viewall=true";     try{     url url = new url(urlstring);     urlconnection connection = url.openconnection();      connection.addrequestproperty("cookie", "shippingcountry=us");     connection.connect();      // create file      filewriter fstream = new filewriter("d:/out.txt");     bufferedwriter out = new bufferedwriter(fstream);     bufferedreader rd = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(connection.getinputstream()));     stringbuffer sb = new stringbuffer();     string line;     while ((line = rd.readline()) != null)     {         out.write(line);     }     rd.close();     //close output stream     out.close(); 

}

can me?

just guess perhaps might need setrequestproperty instead of addrequestproperty, since there can 1 cookie string in request.

connection.setrequestproperty("cookie", "shippingcountry=us"); 

if need send multiple cookie values tack them on colons:

connection.setrequestproperty("cookie", "shippingcountry=us;othervalue=2"); 

update:

i tried doing request using python , looks 500 error. perhaps server blocking request because doesn't web browser. maybe adding following headers work:

user-agent: mozilla/5.0 (macintosh; intel mac os x 10_7) applewebkit/534.48.3 (khtml, gecko) version/5.1 safari/534.48.3 accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 accept-language: en-us accept-encoding: gzip, deflate connection: keep-alive 

in particular accept , user-agent headers might required.
