Hi Ken,
Thanks for your suggestion. Certainly helped but not the whole ten
yards. I found that by not reading the 'null' at the end of the buffer
the IO exception is not thrown. I did this using the ready() method of
BufferedReader. ready() returns false if there is no data in the buffer
to be read. When it returns false I break out of the loop and send the second
GET request to the server. So the second GET doesn't cause a IO error. The problem
is that it doesn't cause the second page of html to be downloaded. The buffer just
remians in state 'not ready'.
Right now I'm trying to get it working from the servlet and have run into an
unrelated problem.
I'll let you if I find a solution.
Thanks again.
Mike.
