Just in case anyone else is reading this thread:
RFC 2109 and netscape's
http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
are two good sources on cookies.
back to the problem:
The issue of passing on the headers of the target url back to
the client seem to be complicated by the fact that
URLConnection.getHeaderFieldKey() and URLConnection.getHeaderField()
return null.
in the servlet:
//
URL url = new URL("http://.../targetServlet");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
con.setUseCaches(false);
con.connect();
int i = 0;
while ( (n = getHeaderFieldKey(i)) != null) {
v = getHeaderField(i++);
// do something with n/v
}
//
I know the target is indeed setting cookies, and I don't even
see ANY header info. I must be missing something obvious.
Once again, thanks
mike
