Robert, Welcome to the club. I use HttpClient for a similar purpose: exchanging XML formatted files between a client and a server, (or as I like referring to it: poor man's SOAP). And [sigh] I do have to support all those two and a half users who insist on using MacOS 9.x with no Java 2 compatible JVM.
If you do not need a full blown HTTP protocol support, you might be much better off just writing to a raw socket. I am not that lucky. I'll have to fork HttpClient at some point and port it to Java 1.1.8.

Oleg, That's what I was affraid of. The only reason I wanted to use it in my applet was to solve memory issues for large file uploads (java.net.URLConnection allways buffers the output before sending and for large files I got out of memory error message). The applet is part of a product that must support all Windows and Macintosh browsers. Having that known, I cannot use HttpClient and have to try another solution to handle my issue. Thank you.

Robert, If my memory does not fail me, IE is shipped with Microsoft JVM 1.1.4. HttpClient requires a Java 2 compatible (1.2.x and above) JVM. I am afraid your only option is to deploy Sun's Java plug-in for IE if you want to be using HttpClient in an applet. As to Mac OS 9.x, to my best knowledge, Java 2 is not even officially supported by Apple on that platform. The highest JVM version supported on MacOS 9.x is 1.1.8.
