Here im trying to upload some files using org.apache.http.client.HttpClient
public static String executeMultiPartRequest(String urlString, File file,
String fileName, String fileDescription) {
System.out.println("SET URI " + urlString);
HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost(urlString);
try {
MultipartEntity multiPartEntity = new MultipartEntity();
// The usual form parameters can be added this way
multiPartEntity.addPart("fileDescription", new StringBody(
fileDescription != null ? fileDescription : ""));
multiPartEntity.addPart("fileName", new StringBody(
fileName != null ? fileName : file.getName()));
/*
* Need to construct a FileBody with the file that needs to be
* attached and specify the mime type of the file. Add the fileBody
* to the request as an another part. This part will be considered
* as file part and the rest of them as usual form-data parts
*/
FileBody fileBody = new FileBody(file, "application/octect-stream");
multiPartEntity.addPart("attachment", fileBody);
// multiPartEntity.addPart("path", Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
postRequest.setEntity(multiPartEntity);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return executeRequest(postRequest);
}
private static String executeRequest(HttpRequestBase requestBase) {
String responseString = "";
InputStream responseStream = null;
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
try {
System.out.println("LISTO PARA ENVIAR A" + requestBase.getURI());
HttpResponse response = client.execute(requestBase);
if (response != null) {
HttpEntity responseEntity = response.getEntity();
if (responseEntity != null) {
responseStream = responseEntity.getContent();
if (responseStream != null) {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(responseStream));
String responseLine = br.readLine();
String tempResponseString = "";
while (responseLine != null) {
tempResponseString = tempResponseString
+ responseLine
+ System.getProperty("line.separator");
responseLine = br.readLine();
}
br.close();
if (tempResponseString.length() > 0) {
responseString = tempResponseString;
}
}
}
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (responseStream != null) {
try {
responseStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
return responseString;
}
What its wrong?
Applet is signed and compiled with java 1.6, httpclient-4.1.3.jar

For those with this problem, the solution was here http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/connmgmt.html#d5e571 getting the JRE Proxy.
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient () ;
ProxySelectorRoutePlanner routePlanner = new ProxySelectorRoutePlanner(
client.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry(),
ProxySelector.getDefault());
client.setRoutePlanner(routePlanner);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(requestBase) ;
Then i signed all libraries httpcore-4.2.3.jar, httpmime-4.2.3.jar and httpclient-4.2.3.jar.
