To Jon's point about "wrapping" HttpClient, I don't think that's too weird in this case. The point of HttpClient is to provide more robust support and finer-grained control over the HTTP protocol than java.net.* does. But in some cases, perhaps all one needs is the "more robust support". _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
