I checked this out and found it to be an excellent introduction to the
subject. However, I recently came across a web site that offers a new
challenge
that I had not seen before. The other sites that I have visited using a Java
application with httpclient work fine with a simple connection, but one that I
came across recently seems to require a multithreaded connection. The
browser behavior at this site is as follows:
1) go to the logon page
2) enter user id and password
3) an informational window appears asking the user to wait while his
financial information is being found
4) the informational window disappears and a window comes up containing the
users financial balance
I tried to mimic my browser the same way as I usually do, using an
httpclient "simple connection," but the httpclient log indicates that I will
have to
use a multithreaded connection (because of step 3 above). I am not an
Absolute Beginner, but probably only about one notch above. Could you steer
me to
any wiki articles or other references that might help me recast my application
to use a multithreaded connection?
