cURL equivalent in JAVA

Image
By User



I am tasked with writing an authentication component for an open source JAVA app. We have an in-house authentication widget that uses https. I have some example php code that accesses the widget which uses cURL to handle the transfer.





My question is whether or not there is a port of cURL to JAVA, or better yet, what base package will get me close enough to handle the task?





Update :





This is in a nutshell, the code I would like to replicate in JAVA:







$cp = curl_init();

$my_url = "https://" . AUTH_SERVER . "/auth/authenticate.asp?pt1=$uname&pt2=$pass&pt4=full";

curl_setopt($cp, CURLOPT_URL, $my_url);

curl_setopt($cp, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$result = curl_exec($cp);

curl_close($cp);







Heath , I think you're on the right track, I think I'm going to end up using HttpsURLConnection and then picking out what I need from the response.

    Exception handling omitted:

    HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) new URL("https://www.example.com").openConnection();
    con.setRequestMethod("POST");
    con.getOutputStream().write("LOGIN".getBytes("UTF-8"));
    con.getInputStream();

    I'd use the Commons Http Client. There is a contrib class in the project that allows you to use ssl.

    We're using it and it's working well.

    Edit: Here's the SSL Guide

    Try Apache Commons Net for network protocols. Free!

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
