I'd like to use http-commons as the client side of a web services application. To do this I need to use PostMethod to send text/xml from a stream and then read the response.
I know I can override PutMethod to do the send but a) this seems like a kludge b) seems un-necessary as this should be part of PostMethod and c) PutMethod doesn't seem to return the body to me (I'm about to investigate the source to see if this is the case). So I have an RFE. Would it be possible to add support to PostMethod to send data other than as a set of query strings/parameters. Ideally it would work like HttpURLConnection where I could stream the data, PostMethod would calculate the length, set the Content-Length header and then send the data. If this is already in the pipeline, great. If not (and nobody is looking at this) could somebody point out any pitfalls I'd have adding this code to PostMethod, Kevin Jones Developmentor www.develop.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
