Restful API codeigniter - JAVA issue

Question

We built our API using Phil Sturgeons cool Restful API framework for codeigniter, which is production ready and is used as part of our mobile apps implementation.

We have an issue when using the API in Java

httpConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url, Connector.READ, true);
// Set content type by given parameter......
httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept", contentType);
httpConnection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/FCLDC-1.0");
httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", contentType);
httpConnection.setRequestProperty("TK-API-KEY", UrlFactory.TK_API_KEY);

// httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Model",
// StyleUtil.getDeviceModel());
if (httpConnection.getResponseCode() == 302)
{
  String redirectUrl =  httpConnection.getHeaderField("Location");
  httpConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(redirectUrl, Connector.READ_WRITE, true);
}

if (httpConnection.getResponseCode() == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK)
{
  io = httpConnection.openInputStream();

  int ch;
  while ((ch = io.read()) != -1)
  {
    bo.write(ch);
  }

}

httpConnection.getResponseCode() is unable to get the status code and returns a malformed exception. Our API server is NGINX.

simply try a URL first, from a console java app and proceed from there. — Kinjal Dixit

try using a client like Advanced REST Client (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/advanced-rest-client/…) to see what the server returns. if you can post the response header it will be a lot helpful — lyomi

Try poster, addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/poster or SOAP UI soapui.org to test your REST request/response. You could even use CURL from the command like if you are on a *NIX machine. Doing this will validate the information you are requesting is available and you can troubleshoot more from there. — bh5k

MalformedException is thrown in case header fields are not set properly. Please check with different headers and also with different user agents. Trying using httpConnection.setDoOutput(true);
