I'm trying to do an HTTPS POST using this sample code: http://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-automate-login-a-website-java-example/
About half way down there is a commented line of code:
// System.out.println(response.toString());
The reason it is commented out is that the response appears to be garbage, either the wrong character set or encrypted.
I need the data returned from the POST. Any suggestions on the correct way to do that? The code from the site is copied below.
