Hi Iker,

Actually I have a problem (not so similar) with POST and HTTPS too. I am
trying to establish a connection to a https site and POST some data to it,
but the response is always a null. I am first doing a GET, which works
fine. But then the POST fails. The code I am using is:

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.*;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.security.*;
import java.util.*;

class TestSSLHttpClient
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		try
		{
			String url = "https://test.abc.com/xyz";
		
			Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
	  		System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
"com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");		
			System.out.println("Done setting SSL properties");
			
			HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();		
			System.out.println("Got HttpClient: " + httpClient);
		
			GetMethod getMethod = new GetMethod(url);
			System.out.println("Got HttpMethod: " + getMethod);
		
			int statusCode = -1;
		
			statusCode = httpClient.executeMethod(getMethod);
		
			System.out.println("statusCode: " + statusCode);
		
			byte[] responseBody = getMethod.getResponseBody();
			
			String resp = new String(responseBody);
		
			System.out.println("Response: " + resp);
			
			String xmlRequest = "<SomeXML>SomeXML</SomeXML>";
			
			PostMethod postMethod = new PostMethod(url);
			
			postMethod.setRequestBody(xmlRequest);
			
			System.out.println("Built PostMethod: " + postMethod);
			
			statusCode = -1;
			
			statusCode = httpClient.executeMethod(postMethod);
			
			System.out.println("statusCode: " + statusCode);
			
			resp = postMethod.getResponseBodyAsString();
			
			System.out.println("Response: " + resp);
			
			postMethod.releaseConnection();				
		}
		catch(Exception e)
		{
			System.out.println("#######################");
			System.out.println("Error occurred:");
			e.printStackTrace();
			System.out.println("#######################");
		}
	}
}

The error I get is that postMethod.getResponseBodyAsString() is returning
a null. However, if I try to trap the outpup of
postMethod.getResponseBody() into a byte[], I get the following exception:

Error occurred:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.getResponseBody(HttpMeth
odBase.java:670)
        at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod.getResponseBody(GetMe
thod.java:293)
        at TestSSLHttpClient.main(TestSSLHttpClient.java:54)

Any help in resolving this would be grately appreciated.
