Gourav, We will have difficulties addressing this problem unless we know how it can be reliably reproduced. So, we will need your help on that. A JUnit test case reproducing the problem would be ideals
More questions: - what platform are you using on the client-side and on the server-side? - are you using chunk-encoding or not? - if not, are you explicitly specifying the content length or not? - are you sure that HttpClient does try to buffer the request in order to be able to determine its size? - have you tried posting large files to Tomcat servlet engine running on the same platform? I have not tried it myself, but I believe quite a few people have been successfully using HttpClient to post massive files Cheers Oleg On Mon, 2003-03-10 at 23:06, Pani, Gourav wrote: > Oleg, > > - The HttpClient takes a lot longer to post large files as opposed to using > a raw socket. > - The header on the HTTP Server is as follows > HTTP/1.0 200 OK > Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 22:02:57 GMT > Server: WebLogic WebLogic Temporary Patch for CR072964 04/03/2002 > 10:26:28 > Content-Length: 0 > Content-Type: text/xml > Connection: Close > - We do not get any exceptions because it keeps trying to post and then the > thread hangs.
