YourServlet extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet, and
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet extends javax.servlet.GenericServlet,
the following is from HttpServlet in jakarta-servletapi-4-src.zip in
www.Apache.org:
...
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
String protocol = req.getProtocol();
String msg = lStrings.getString("http.method_post_not_supported");
if (protocol.endsWith("1.1")) {
resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED, msg);
} else {
resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST, msg);
}
}
...
it doesn't response anything to the client, so you need to override it
in YourServlet.
