Applet/Servlet HTTP communication

[Carlos Navarro Bernab�]

Hi,       I'm just learning.... i'm trying to build a java based Chat using HTTP protocol. But i'm having some problems. My applet produce a java.lang.ClassCastException when trying to get a HTTPUrlConnection from a UrlConnection. I did it by this way:   serverURL = new URL(serverURLname); HttpURLConnection httpuc = (HttpURLConnection) serverURL.openConnection();   Where i'm going wrong? There's some better way to do this?   Thanks,               Txals de Bitrir
