Good idea! Has any servlet engine implemented such a beast? Perhaps we could add a ServletURLConnection / servlet: URL handler to the servlet API? Still, it does sound a lot harder for the servlet team than just adding a method ala "char [] Response.getBuffer()", which was my original idea. I am actually currently using HttpURLConnection, but it's very painful as the sun.net.www.protocol.http classes have more bugs than a swamp... although I'm told the whole area has been rewritten in JDK1.3...
