You might also want to consider using GZIP encoding. I am not sure if there is an automatic way to do this using HttpClient. But if you are sending large XML messages, a quick GZIP can reduce the transfer size by around 90%. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher L Merrill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 27, 2006 10:43 AM To: HttpClient User Discussion Subject: Re: Best way to send XML to a servlet?

Why not just POST it using standard HTTP? If there is only one transaction in the session, than SOAP may be overkill. Is there authentication involved?
