I've run into a problem when using XmlRpcClient in an applet running in a
Netscape browser. In that environment, an exception gets thrown when
execute() opens an InputStream without closing the OutputStream. The
exception explicitly indicates that HTTPS input isn't expected until the
OutputStream is closed. I made the following changes in
XmlRpcClient.execute and the problem is indeed resolved (sorry I don't have
the stack trace captured). The exception trace did indicate that the
"in=con.getInputStream()" line threw the exception.
if (m_conn != null)
{
m_conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
m_conn.setRequestProperty( "User-Agent", XmlRpc.version );
if (auth != null)
m_conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic "+auth);
OutputStream out = m_conn.getOutputStream();
out.write(request);
out.flush();
-> out.close();
in = m_conn.getInputStream();
}
else
{
URLConnection con = url.openConnection ();
con.setDoInput (true);
con.setDoOutput (true);
con.setUseCaches (false);
con.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
con.setRequestProperty ("Content-Length", Integer.toString
(request.length));
con.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "text/xml");
if (auth != null)
con.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", "Basic "+auth);
// con.connect ();
OutputStream out = con.getOutputStream ();
out.write (request);
out.flush ();
-> out.close ();
in = con.getInputStream ();
}
Hopefully someone will make this change on my behalf.
