Java HttpsURLConnection - TwitchAPI - Update Channel Information

I tried to create a java Tool to change Twitch Channel Informations (status / game / delay). In the Documentation is an example with curl for working with the API to update channel informations:

curl -H 'Accept: application/vnd.twitchtv.v3+json' -H 'Authorization: OAuth <access_token>' \
-d "channel[status]=Playing+cool+new+game!&channel[game]=Diablo&channel[delay]=0" \
-X PUT https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_channel

I tried to recreate this in Java with HttpsURLConnection. But I get the Error Response Code 400 and I dont have any idea what could be wrong with my sourcecode.

The Response:{"error":"Bad Request","message":"Missing required parameter channel","status":400}

My sourcecode: http://pastebin.com/F1QyCULu

I hope anyone can help me with this problem.

Solution

  • Okay I found a way how it works.

    I removed the URLEncoder and just replaced spaces with plus String sendData = "channel[" + key + "]=" + data.replace(' ', '+');

    I set the content-type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded apiConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

    and thats it.
