no i can test against the service i have...

Great!

@User uploaded a file: Untitled and commented: I hesitate to call this a "test" 😉

but if I comment out the

Rest.useApacheHttpClient()

line it doesn't work...

i have a breakpoint set on my service and it never gets called if i comment out that line... if I uncommment it then it's called...

i can try a service you have if you want?

Let me check..

k, thanks

apache works for me now, so this isn't holding me back...

I ran the test (without anything listening on localhost:8080) and got connection refused, so the call most definitely was happening. Can you try the same? Stop the http service on 8080 and rerun it.

sure

By the way, TornadoFX has a

JsonBuilder

on steroids, that allows null values etc, so instead of the

getJson

function you can do this:

agree.. same

service stopped... connection refused error

so something else...

OK, so the call does happen. But where does it go when your service is listening..

spring boot service...

maybe it is my side...

if you have a test that works it has to be my side. i was assuming the call wasn't made, but it is... or else the connection error wouldn't have come back

i can try to find another service to test with... external one... that would prove it is my service; which i think it must be anyway...

Or we could add an internal http server to the test...

if i post to http://requestb.in/10holwt1 (off of request bin) I get 403 with the default client and 200 with apache...

i have to step out and get the kids from swimming... be right back.

OK, I'll have to pick up again tonight as well.

np. Apache is working

When you post to requestb.in, I suspect it requires a header that is not set, so it might not be the same problem you see locally though.

ok

@jchildress The issue is that you don't consume the response from the post. You should call

one()

,

list()

, or

consume()

to release the connection, even if you don't use the returned data. I will improve this a little tomorrow, but basically you always need to consume the response or you'll have issues.
