Responses without Requests

[Micael]

Is there any reason why I could not send a response to another server without a request by having an automated background servlet do something akin to the following when something happened? Could this be part of the business logic of a action in Struts, so that more than one response could be sent to a request?

String str = "key=value";
URL url = new URL("http://www.otherserver.com/dowacka.do";);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
pw.println(str);
pw.close();

I take it, also, if I am not mistaken, that I could do this securely with https? And, lastly, I assume that I could then get a confirmation of receipt, or whatever, with something like:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String results = in.readLine();
in.close();

That right? Please correct anything, make any suggestions, etc.
