Why would this method need to be limited to a plain text file, doesn't it
just send the bytes?
Also, I notice that the JavaDoc for the PostMethod's setRequestBody method
states:
Once this method has been invoked, the request parameters cannot be
altered until I am recycled.
While the addParameter method states:
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException - if my request body has already been
generated.
Is there a way of sending the file name with the file contents? Or, would I
need to revert back to sending the file name ahead of time and setting the
name to a session attribute to be extracted when the file contents are later
received?
Thanks for the help,
Daniel
