David, Have a look at this one
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/httpclient/src/examples/PostXML.java?rev=HEAD I suppose it is quite close to what you are trying to accomplish. Another note: we strongly encourage that HttpClient class be used to execute HTTP methods, leaving up to HttpClient to do all the low level connection management. Explicit HTTP connection management is usually discouraged: HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient(); PostMethod post = new PostMethod("http://www.whatever.com/target-url";); try { post.setRequestBody(new FileInputStream(input)); httpclient.executeMethod(post); } finally { post.releaseConnection(); } Hope this helps Cheers Oleg On Wed, 2003-10-01 at 22:04, Jenkins, David wrote: > Hi Oleg, > > I'll include some code fragments that I currently use and code fragments > that I've tried using http client.
