As @atish shimpi mentioned, this is most likely due to an improperly formatted URL. I typed up the following code snipped and debugged it on a development phone:
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
URI url = new URI("https://s3-euwest1.amazonaws.com/developer-applicationtest/cart/list");
URI url1 = new URI("https://www.google.com/");
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
As you can see, I added another URI object which points to https://www.google.com/ to use as a comparison. When I debugged, I set breakpoints on the creation of both URI objects. Upon creating the corresponding URI object for the address you provided, the host field is null...
However, when I create a similiar URI object for the Google address, the host field is not null, which means something is wrong with your address...
I am still not quite sure why the method URI(String spec) fails to resolve the proper fields. This might be a bug or it might just be related to your specific URL. Regardless, I was able to finally process the request by taking the link you provided and manually creating a URI object as follows:
URI uri = new URI("https", "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com", "/developer-application-test/cart/list", null, null);
Using this manually created URI, I was able to download the list that you created:
"products" : [
{
"product_id" : "1",
"name" : "Apples",
"price" : 120,
"image" : "https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/developer-application-test/images/1.jpg"
},
{
"product_id" : "2",
"name" : "Oranges",
"price" : 167,
"image" : "https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/developer-application-test/images/2.jpg"
},
{
"product_id" : "3",
"name" : "Bananas",
"price" : 88,
"image" : "https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/developer-application-test/images/3.jpg"
},
etc....
As a reference point, here is my final working code:
try
{
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
URI uri = new URI("https", "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com", "/developer-application-test/cart/list", null, null);
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(uri);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
if (httpEntity != null)
{
InputStream inputStream = httpEntity.getContent();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
String currentLine = null;
while ((currentLine = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
{
stringBuilder.append(currentLine + "\n");
}
String result = stringBuilder.toString();
Log.v("Http Request Results:",result);
inputStream.close();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
