You could always just do it the easy way and generate a page with just a form and the form data filled in then put a javascript at the bottom of the page that submits the form. The user doesn't notice and it's simple.

Try using the HttpURLConnection class in the java.net package. Before opening a connection you need to call the setRequestMethod() function and set the method to POST. -----Original Message----- From: Susan M. Orndorff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 08, 2001 12:32 PM To: JRun-Talk Subject: Way to post form data without a form? I am using an applet to call a servlet named OrderPage which returns an html page. To do this I am using URL newUrl = new URL("https://hostname.com/store/OrderPage?Item=teaCustomer=Nancy";) getAppletContext().showDocument(newUrl, "_self"); When I do this, the parameter string (?Item=teaCustomer=Nancy) shows in the address window. I do not want these parameters to show. I have been told there is a way to post data like a form would, but without using a form, that is, to do it automatically from within the program, without ANY user interaction. Does anyone know how this is done? Thanks for any help...
