RE: Cleint side form POST

Here is a method from an applet using a URLConnection to get a serialized 
ArrayList from a servlet. Maybe something in here will
help or confuse. Thanx, PLA

private ArrayList getPlantCableSpecArrayList() throws IOException
 {
  URL dataUrl = null;
  try
    {
     String url = 
"http://HomeTelco.Com:8080/servlet/PlantTreeAppletLoadServlet";;
     System.out.println("URL is: " + url);
     dataUrl = new URL(url);
    }
  catch(MalformedURLException mfe)
    {
     System.out.println("Malformed URL Error: " + mfe);
    }
  System.out.println("About to get connection.");
  URLConnection connection = dataUrl.openConnection();
  connection.setUseCaches(false);
  String authorizationHeader = getParameter("authorizationHeader");
  if (authorizationHeader != null)
    {
     connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", authorizationHeader);
    }
  System.out.println("Got connection and now trying io stream.");
  ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(connection.getInputStream());
  System.out.print("getInputStream done with bytes: " + in.available());
  try
    {
     ArrayList al = (ArrayList)in.readObject();
     return al;
    }
  catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
    {
     System.out.println("Class not found error: " + cnfe);
     return null;
    }
 }

Subject: Cleint side form POST


Does anyone have an example of a client side POST response to a CGI server?
I have data that needs to get posted to a server and I would like to
automate the process.  The POST is done to a secure server (SSL extension)
and I have the connect to the secure server complete.  I am running into an
issue with using the URLConnection class.

Thanks

Mike
