Use HttpMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream(): http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpMethod.html#getResponseBodyAsStream() Read the data as it comes, convert to characters in the appropriate character set (or save it to a file as binary). It's plain Java IO, nothing special about it. > Where can I learn more about this? The tutorial is not exactly shining in this point: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/tutorial.html Note that if it's a real web service with XML input and output, you'll receive some multipart mime stuff as the response and will have to split that by some other means. In that case, you should consider to use some web service implementation. hope that helps, Roland
