java.io.FileNotFoundException on getInputStream()

Question

I am trying to getInputStream from a URL, the connection response code is 200, but I am getting an exception FileNotFoundException when I try to getInputStream, here is my code:

url = new URL("http://...");
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
int status = connection.getResponseCode();
if(status >= 400){
    request = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
    request.write(params);
    request.flush();
    request.close();
    String line;
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream());
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(isr);
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
        sb.append(line + "\n");
    }
}

the stack trace:

What is the problem, and how I can debug it?

I suggest that you edit your question and post the entire Java stack trace associated with your crash. — CommonsWare

I agree with EJP -- this fits a 404 response code from your request. You may find it easier to use a different HTTP client API, such as OkHttp. — CommonsWare

The connection response code is 200

No it isn't. There is nothing in this code that checks the response code. A FileNotFoundException means a response code of 404.

NB setDoOutput(true) sets the method to POST. You don't need to set that yourself,

I checked the connection.getRespondeCode() it returns 200

Mohammad Over a year ago

I used it just for making sure that the connection, then I removed it. I don't want to handle or catch the error, I want to resolve it!

user207421 Over a year ago

Your test proves my point completely. The response code is not 200, it is >= 400, otherwise you don't execute getInputStream() and you don't get the exception. NB You should check it after writing the output.

Hey my code is something 404..but I have some JSON responce to this code. How can I read it

user207421 Over a year ago

@pritam001 Hard to believe. If your server really delivers JSON along with a 404 there is something seriously wrong with it.

with credits to @EJP I have checked the response as follow:

url = new URL("http://...");
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");

request = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
request.write(params);
request.flush();
request.close();
String line;

int status = connection.getResponseCode();
if(status < 400) {

    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream());
    ...
} else{
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(connection.getErrorStream());
    ...
}

the error stream showed me that there are some problems with the implementation code of the URL that I am requesting.

The response code was not 200 if you got a FileNotFoundException. It is impossible. One or other of those statements is untrue. You have provided exactly zero evidence to the contrary.

@EJP answer edited, anyway the problem has been solved, I was distracted after 13 hours of continuous coding, thanks.

This does not answer the question that was asked. I suggest you delete your question. It never made sense in the first place.
