java.io.FileNotFoundException, but php file exists

Question

I'm trying to upload a file to a server, but when I try to open the connection it fails and gives a FileNotFoundException, while the file is there. I my browser on my desktop it executes the php. This is my code:

  URL url = new URL("http://www.test.com/files/upload_file.php");
  connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

And this the error:

 12-07 14:43:01.337: W/System.err(19473): java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://www.test.com/files/upload_file.php
12-07 14:43:01.347: W/System.err(19473):    at libcore.net.http.HttpURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream(HttpURLConnectionImpl.java:177)

Is this php file a local file or one hosted on a remote server? — kabuto178

It's on a remote server. But I get a different error when I use google. So there might be something going on with my server. Thanks — Diego

It is strange, I'm able to connect through my browser on the phone, but not like above. — Diego

I had your same problem and even if much time has gone since you made the question, this could be useful for the googlers.

Well, all I've done is adding this string:

connection.setDoOutput(false);

Also take a look at this

I figured out in the end that the error came from and not from :

InputStream is = connection.getInputStream();

Changing into:

InputStream is = connection.getErrorStream();

fixed the error
