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? 

   If the server is WebLogic I have found that it is extremely 
important for the request to have a valid ContentLength for the server 
to process it efficiently, so this could be very relevant.

- 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,

-  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.  Finally, I just have to kill the thread.  

Thanks,
Gourav

Gourav,

Help us understand the problem better:
- Are you saying that it takes longer to post a large file using
HttpClient compared to using a raw socket?
- What kind of HTTP server are you posting your request to?
- What kind of exception are you getting? Can you post the the call
stack of that exception?

I am using HttpClient release 2.0 Alpha 3 using J2SDK1.4.1_01 .  When I
     

try
   

posting large files greater than 2MB using the PostXML.java example, I see
the packets going across and get responses back but it takes extremely
     

long
   

sending the data and in the process, the connection times out.  

I managed to successfully post and receive a response using the Socket
object in a different test program.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Gourav
