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, Roland "Ramakrishna Kuppa (Bangalore)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03.03.2004 08:59 Please respond to "Commons HttpClient Project" To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: file transfer through firewall 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.
