Hi Daniel, and everyone, In my research into my cookie issue, I found some interesting ideas. What would you all think about using the Jakarta Commons HTTP Client instead of java.net.URLConnection?
That wouldn't address the server header generation but its feature set is much more complete than URLConnection. If we are looking for something more generalized, does anyone have any suggestions for one HTTP communication library for the whole package? The stripped down Catalina for instance? I'm willing to do the legwork if it looks worthwhile. Ryan Hoegg Daniel Rall wrote: >I'm goning to skip this one (though I'm not against someone else >sprucing that up and merging it in).
