Hello Ramakrishna,

if you are developing the server system, then HttpClient is
not the way to go. If you are developing a client application,
then it is.

Yes, users should authenticate.

cheers,

Hi,
 
I am new to HttpClient...so bear with me if I am asking a wrong 
question(s).
 
I am developing an application wherein my customer should be able to 
transfer a large XML file over the internet to my server system, which is 
behind a firewall. (An example scenario is the customer sitting in the 
airport lounge, and using wireless network connectivity, be able to 
transfer the file.)
 
Please help me in the following:
is HttpClient the way to go?
should the user authenticate with my server (before being able to update 
my application DB with his/her data in the XML file - this will be taken 
care of by the server end of my application)
what would be a good architecture for the same?
Please share any ideas you might have around this.
 
Regards
Ramakrishna
