I think you need to make a call to execute, or you could use the HttpClient object you've created to call this.

So maybe add this line after you're setting the request body for your putMethod...

client.executMethod(putMethod);

Could you please explain me how to create HttpClient

Dave Over a year ago

I added how you would call given the code you've provided and linked you to the docs. That should be sufficient.

@user1042983: HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

I've just updated to point out you should put the line after you set your request body; not after setting the timeout on the client as I originally said.
