[android-developers] Re: App Crash during HTTP Post

Hi Murphy,

I am using File Entity to get the file and subsequently do HTTP Post
as shown in the code snippet below.

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(postURL);
FileEntity bin = new FileEntity(file, postURL);
post.setEntity(bin);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);

Not sure whether this way of doing the HTTP Post is causing a crash
when the file size is too big.

Thanks and Regards,
Perumal
