2.7 Can PDFreactor access documents form servers that require POST-data or cookies?
-
To set cookies and post-data in your java program that uses PDFreactor you can use a URLConnection object:
URL url = new URL(...URL...);
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
urlConnection.setUseCaches(false);
urlConnection.setRequestProperty(key, value); // sets cookies
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(urlConnection.getOutputStream());
printWriter.println("key=value"); // sets POST-data
printWriter.close();
urlConnection.connect();
InputSource inputSouce = new InputSource(urlConnection.getInputStream());
inputSouce.setSystemId(urlConnection.getURL().toString());
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream= new FileOutputStream("...file...");
(new PDFreactor()).renderDocument(inputSouce, new PDFreactorConfiguration(), fileOutputStream);
out.fileOutputStream();
-
To be able to receive cookies from a server and store them like a browser you can use the free (LGPL) Java library "HTTPClient" by Innovation GmbH. For more information see www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/ . It can replace the built-in http client of Java and so allow Java programs to receive and store cookies without changing the code. You can get the file from www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/HTTPClient.zip . To use it set these 2 Java parameters: -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=HTTPClient -Xbootclasspath/a:*PATH*/HTTPClient.zip (replace *PATH* with your path to HTTPClient.zip)
