I am sending data over HTTPS but the server side says it is not receiving it

I create an application that sends some data to a secured network.

At the server side they need the data as JSON object. For that am creating the data as JSON object and writing that data in the OutputStream of the connection.

But the response from the server side telling it is not getting the data that I am passing.

The code snippet that am using is something like given below:

HttpsConnection _connection = (HttpsConnection)Connector.open("https://gmail.com/",Connector.READ_WRITE, true);             _connection.setRequestMethod(HttpsConnection.POST);
_connection.setRequestProperty("If-Modified-Since", "29 Oct 1999 19:43:31 GMT");
_connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0");
_connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US");
_connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
byte[] postData = jsonObject.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
_connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", Integer.toString(postData.length));
_connection.setRequestProperty("jsondata",jsonObject.toString());
OutputStream os = _connection.openOutputStream();
os.write(postData);
os.flush();

Please help me to solve the issue.

I have same this problem but finally find solution:

HttpConnection c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
c.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
c.setRequestProperty(
    HttpProtocolConstants.HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE, PostData.getContentType());
c.setRequestProperty(
    HttpProtocolConstants.HEADER_CONTENT_LENGTH,String.valueOf(oPostData.size()));
c.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", Integer.toString(oPostData.size()));
c.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/json");
byte [] postDataBytes = jobj.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
os = c.openOutputStream();
os.write(postDataBytes);
os.flush();

You have to append appropriate suffix to to your url eg: If you use simulator use:https://gmail.com/;deviceside=true etc

I guess the reason is "Content-Type" => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". This type of a POST exists for sending a list of key=value pairs. So the server on its side will parse the post data in terms of key=value pairs. I believe in your case it just fails to parse the got post data, because you don't send the data in the key=value pairs form (instead you just pour the entire json string jsonObject.toString().getBytes("UTF-8") in it).

So basically you need to form a key value pair "json=YOUR_JSON_HERE". Then on the server you will get your data as the json parameter value:

URLEncodedPostData encPostData = new URLEncodedPostData("UTF-8", false);
encPostData.append("json", jsonObject.toString());
byte[] postData = encPostData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");

Another option (and BTW it would be the most proper way to do this particular task) would be to use "multipart/form-data" POST type. However it will be a bit harder to implement it if you've never done that before on BB.
