Dave, What kind of authentication does the target server expect: basic|digest|NTLM or form-based? At the moment it is not quite clear what is going on on the server side. If you posted a wire log of the HTTP session that exhibits the problem, I believe I would be able to tell more. See HttpClient logging guide for details <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.html>

The code below is in a servlet running on www.mydomain.com and submitting to another page also on www.mydomain.com. // Create an instance of HttpClient. HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); // submit username/password for the gray box. client.getState().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true); UsernamePasswordCredentials creds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("username", "password"); client.getState().setCredentials(null, request.getServerName(), creds); // Now submit this file to the piece that uploads batch files. String targetURL = "http://"; + request.getServerName() + "/hrw/ecom/HRWImportCOPSData"; MultipartPostMethod method = new MultipartPostMethod(targetURL); method.addParameter("import_file", completeEcomFile.getName(), completeEcomFile); method.setDoAuthentication(true); but when I try to submit the request using statusCode = client.executeMethod(method); I repeatedly get the exception "Connection refused." I'm pretty sure the authentication is being required by the Apache webserver. Any help is greatly appreciated - Dave Care2 make the world greener!
