  Email Required, but never shown. I did like you said and commented out the headers, also the tokens I am talking about they work fine, I have printed and tested them By sending different request to the same website to get different data. My use case was to store api response into zip file as its in byte array but was not able to store it into.  

Using Apache Commons HttpClient to download HTTP data

 

Optional 'thank-you' note:. Hello Everyone, I am having a little problem while downloading a file from a site. Aim Download a File named MyContacts. My Approach 1. I want to download this using code.

I sent a POST request and set the headers as required. I observed the headers by inspecting the webpage and monitoring the requests sent under the network tab in Chrome. These are the Request and Response Headers. In the second image the form data I am primarily interested in that data which is downloaded as xls file. But I am unable to get the data as well. Whatever I am more concerned with downloading the file using Code.

Please note that I did came across a few solutions in StackOverflow and a few other places but they aren't helpful I have tried them already. Rob Spoor. First of all, what is the problem you're having? It may store those, but it never passes them to the HttpClient other than the token. The site's documentation should be able to tell you that. Furthermore, please remove the following two lines: post.

You shouldn't send them to the server in your request though. Next, in order to be able to download large files we wrapped the input stream into a BufferedInputStream.

Also, we created a FileOutputStream by providing a path on the disk where we want the file to be saved. Next, we use a bucket of byte[] to read bytes from the input stream and write it onto the output stream iteratively. This example demonstrates how we can use our own buffer for example bytes so that downloading large files should not consume huge memory on our system. To do that, we have used the try-with-resources block for respective stream instantiation.

While writing the previous example, we had to take care of a lot of logic. Thankfully, Java Files class provides the copy method which handles this logic internally.

Next is an example of using Files. The Java NIO package offers a faster way of data transfer, which does not buffer data in memory. Hence, we can easily work with large files. In order to use Java NIO channels, we need to create two channels. One channel will connect to the source and the other to the target.

Once the channels are set, we can transfer data between them. Next, is an example of using HttpClient to download a file and save it on the disk. First, we simply create an instance of HttpClient using its builder.

Finally, we use the input stream from the HttpResponse and use File copy method to write it to a Path on disk. This section explains how to asynchronously download a file from a URL and save it to the disk. To do that, we can use sendAsync method of HttpClient, which will return a Future instance. When we execute an asynchronous method, the program execution will not wait for the method to finish. Instead, it will progress further by doing other stuff.
