java http xml请求,如何从XML http请求中读取XML？

When I perform a certain action on a web app, it performs a ajax call or something along that line that returns some data in XML format. When I click On Inspect element in the browser and click on the networks tab, I can see the XML response data that was requested. see:

I tried to perform a http request in java to retrieve this XML data. Here is the java code:

private StringBuffer sendGet() {

final String USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0";

final String CONTENT_LENGTH = "131";

StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();

String url = "https://same as the request header";

try {

//create the http connection

URL obj = new URL(url);

HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) obj.openConnection();

con.setRequestMethod("GET");

con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent",USER_AGENT);

con.setRequestProperty("Content-Length",CONTENT_LENGTH);

int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();

System.out.println("Sending 'GET' request to URL " + url);

System.out.println("Response Code:" + responseCode);

//read in the get reponse

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));

String inputLine;

while((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {

response.append(inputLine.toString());

}

//close input stream

in.close();

System.out.println("response is: " + response);

} catch (MalformedURLException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

return response;

}

For the URL I am creating a http request, I am using the exact same request URL in the ajax calls header. see:

When I perform the GET request, I received a response code of 200 which I assume the request was successful, but on my log it displays no XML even though I try to print it out. The log displayed this:

Sending 'GET' request to URL https:"blah blah blah"

Response Code:200

response is:

I should also note that when I try to go to the request URL directly on the browser it's just a blank white page.

When I use a request URL that contains a webpage, the http request returns all the html and js in the DOM. But the request URL I was trying to use which is just a blank page returns a blank response to me even though there are suspose to be some xml data. What am I doing wrong? Why is it that I cannot retrieve and display the XML? Do I need to parse the XML before it can be displayed?

I solved the issue by changing it to a POST request (same as what the browser did). I also included the form data associated with that request as shown in the pictures up there.

private StringBuffer sendPost() {

StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();

String url = "https://example.com/snowbound/AjaxServlet";

final String CONTENT_LENGTH = "131";

final String CONTENT_TYPE = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

final String ACCEPT_LANGUAGE = "en-US,en;q=0.8";

try {

//create http connection

URL obj = new URL(url);

HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpsURLConnection) obj.openConnection();

//add request header

connection.setRequestMethod("POST");

connection.setDoInput(true);

connection.setDoOutput(true);

connection.setUseCaches(false);

connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Language", ACCEPT_LANGUAGE);

connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", CONTENT_TYPE);

connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", CONTENT_LENGTH);

DataOutputStream output = new DataOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());

//form data

String content = "documentId=3896&action=getAnnotationModel&annotationLayer=1&pageCount=1&pageIndex=0";

//write output stream and close output stream

output.writeBytes(content);

output.flush();

output.close();

//read in the response data

BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));

String inputLine;

while((inputLine = input.readLine()) != null) {

response.append(inputLine.toString());

}

//close input stream

input.close();

//print out content

int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();

System.out.println("response code: " + responseCode);

System.out.println("respone is: " + response);

} catch (MalformedURLException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

return response;
