When using the Goo.gl API is there a way to tell it not to automatically add a trailing slash? Because it messes up a lot of website, for example if you go to: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00046726&fm_seq=49755 with a trailing slash it doesn't work! Any suggestions?
My Code:
address= "https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(address);
try {
post.setEntity(new StringEntity("{\"longUrl\": \"" +longurl+ "/\"}"));
post.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
if (userLogin == true) {
post.setHeader("Authorization", "OAuth "+accessToken);
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
org.apache.http.HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
JSONObject object = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(responseBody).nextValue();
query = object.getString("id");
shortUrl = query;
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
post.setEntity(new StringEntity("{\"longUrl\": \"" +longurl+ "/\"}"));
// I think I found the problem -------------------------------^
You're adding the slash after the longurl
yourself, goo.gl isn't doing it.
