Hi guys, I have a simple applet which is given a set of local files to upload to my server using HttpClient and MultipartEntity. Basically when someone uploads a GEDCOM file (genealogy data), the images are specified as local files. So I then present a signed applet to them to grab those files off their local filesystem. This is the least intrusive and simplest way I could think of to get these images from users.
So what do I do about proxy servers? Is there a way I can read from the browser if and how their proxy configuration is setup and then transfer that information to HttpClient in the applet? Is it possible HttpClient does this automatically? Are there standard system properties I can read to deal with this? Are there any other situations I should be aware of, like proxy servers, that might prevent images from being uploaded? -- Scott Mueller http://www.appletree.com AppleTree - Solve the Puzzle
