Android HTTP request with specific port

I am trying to get the song title from a Shoutcast server. So, my idea was to do a little regexp on 7.html page of Shoutcast server, BUT I can't get simple HttpGet request to receive 7.html page. What am I doing wrong?

If I remove port number from link, HttpGet will run without any problems, but I won't get my results.

private class GetTrackInfo extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... Urls) {

        String url = urls[0];
        if(!url.contains("http://")) url = "http://" + url;
        url = url + "/7.html";
        HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
        HttpGet http = new HttpGet(url);
        HttpResponse response = null;
        try {
            response = httpclient.execute(http);
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        try {
            response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }        
        String res = out.toString();
        return res;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        Log.i("GetTrack", "Track result: " + result);
        String[] results = result.split(",");
        String track = results[results.length-1];
        fplayer.setStreamInfoTxt(track);
    }

}

As an error, I get:

Solution

  • I managed to figure it out! I actually had problem with my String url variable. After encoding this String with URLEncode I saw that I have %0A%0D at the of it since I got those urls from a file. (%0A%0D are chars for escape and new line, see here more about it) Everything is working like charm now! So guys, always double check your url before you make Http request.
