No location on http post

[malandro95]

I am trying to execute an http post. I traced the post using Firebug within Firefox and can see the Location header being returned. I am trying to grab this location header after my post executes, however, it doesn't seem to be in the header. I see everything else, but no location.

Here's my code:

HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost("https://secure.website.org/url.html");
List <NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList <NameValuePair>();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", userid));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", password));

httpost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps, HTTP.UTF_8));

HttpResponse response = null;
try{
       	response = httpclient.execute(httpost);
       	HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
       	System.out.println("Login form get: " + response.getStatusLine());
       	if (entity != null) {
       		entity.consumeContent();
       	}
}
catch (Exception ex){
       	System.out.println();
}

location = response.getHeaders("location")

At this point, I would expect location to contain the url being returned under the location header, but there doesn't seem to be a header when I execute my code, only using the browser does it work.

What am I missing?

You can either try the apache HttpClient, I am sure you will have a success

That's actually what I am using, HttpClient from HttpClient - HttpClient Home
