How to make OKHTTP post request without a request body?

Question

Is there any way to make a post request with OkHTTP that does not have a request body?

Solution 1

    RequestBody reqbody = RequestBody.create(null, new byte[0]);  
    Request.Builder formBody = new Request.Builder().url(url).method("POST",reqbody).header("Content-Length", "0");
    clientOk.newCall(formBody.build()).enqueue(OkHttpCallBack());

Solution 2

This worked for me:

RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(null, new byte[]{});

Solution 3

• "".toRequestBody()
• "".toRequestBody("application/json".toMediaTypeOrNull())

...depends on which media type your endpoint expects.

Solution 4

I'm using okhttp3.

You can also do this for an empty request body:

val empty: RequestBody = EMPTY_REQUEST

For a POST:

val request = Request.Builder().url(http).post(EMPTY_REQUEST).build()

is it yours answer or question??

[mr5]

or RequestBody.create(null, "")

[JakeRobb]

or RequestBody.create("", null), if you're using the latest version and don't like deprecation warnings. :)

Try "".toRequestBody() or "".toRequestBody("application/json".toMediaTypeOrNull())

This answer is for kotlin btw. If the IDE doesn't recognize this, you must import the extension function: import okhttp3.RequestBody.Companion.toRequestBody

Perfect! Thanks

Using this EMPTY_REQUEST caused some weird ClassNotFound exception
