Re: Connecting to JServ using Sockets

[David Crooke]

You don't want to do that - you'd have to speak JServ's proprietary protocol to the engine. What you want to do is connect to Apache and speak HTTP to it. I'm sure you can find an HTTP client library for C++ on the web, if not it's very easy to implement by hand. In terms of the HTTP upload, you can use a raw POST, or if you want it so it would be compatible with possible future use by a browser with and file upload widget, then use the multipart encoding standard. Java Servlets do not have decoding for this format (it's somewhat like multipart MIME email) but there is an excellent O'Reilly utility library which is yours for the price of a book.
