thanks for your response, Paul, i really appreciate your help. there
are two points i need clarifying on if possible. 1: i am a newbie, is
there anywhere i can find examples of how FileInputStream is used? i
can't find any material on it. and 2: how do i get the url of the
original requested page? this is what i have been trying to do and i
can't figure it out (it's got me baffled).
thanks again.
