Http

[freesoft_2000]

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to do an application that does
the upload as well the download of files from a http server that needs
authentication.
The thing is i am not very sure where to begin and i am open to any
suggestions.

Basically what i am trying to upload is a html file
onto the http server and also have the capability to download back that
file back to my computer if i need it. The server i am using does not
support ftp so using the sun's ftp classes are out but i am not sure if
there are classes that exist for the uploading and downloading of files
from a http server.

I am not using servlets but trying to upload or download
a simple html file to http server from a java application

Sample codings as well as informative links would be
helpfull

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

sorry, I don't understand. You want to upload a file from a Java
application without using servlets or any code on the server side?
I think the only solution is a put request.

If what I understand is correct, maybe you can look at Jakarta HttpClient:

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/

It should be able to do put requests.
