Oh I see. So it acts as a kind of filter. Thanks for the info. >What you look for is redirection. The server tells the >browser to look at a different location for a given url. NO. I know about redirection and do not want it. I have a servlet which is very general and takes a general input and generates different outputs. I want the servlet to send a url back to browser along with the output. This way, I need not bother the client with different URLs for the same servlet, this is anyway handled by the html form. Now you might ask, why I need this: just for the sake of visual convinience :-), and match the url with the content. >This is part of the HTTP Spec: > >HTTP 1.0 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1945.html >HTTP 1.1 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2068.html > >In servlets and jsp's it can be used through >response.sendRedirect(). > > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > > Von: Rum Pel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 14.
