如何通过 java.net.URL 传递标头属性

Question

I am using a third party API in my program who's job is to construct a SOAP message by using the java.net.URL object passed as an input. I am constructing the URL object by passing the url as a String and thats it.

The requirement now is to attach a header to the URL before passing it to the third party API. My challenge is the API takes only URL as an input and nothing else. AS i have exhausted all my options, can you please let me know if there is any workaround or options available that can be applied in this scenario?

Answer 1

URL urlObj = new URL(url);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) urlObj.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod(method.toUpperCase());
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "BASIC "+new String(encodedBase64));
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "UTF-8");
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setUseCaches(false);
connection.connect();

This is how I did it with my URL object
setRequestProperty will add Key-Value pair to the Header of the Request.
