Let's say I want my servlet to visit a site, log in, fill in form, log out,
then return some data to the original visitor.
First I need to be able to fill in UID and password and kick off the login
form action of the other site.
then start receiving bytes as it returns me the "welcome" page.
Then do I have to wait till it is finished showing me the form before I
throw a formful of data back at it ?
Then when it returns saying "thanks" I have to log out. Again, do I have to
wait till it has finished sending me stuff back or can I just go ahead ?
How can I know a page has stopped replying?
And all this time, i want the original visitor to be told
"Please wait a moment or two"
then
"OK, finished".
So can a servlet go
out.println("Please wait !");
out.flush();
then 10s later force a redirect to a "done it" page ?
Thanks
