A servlet can send POST requests to a remote site using exactly the same logic that an
Applet
can -- using the java.net.HttpURLConnection class. Leaving out error handling for
clarity, it
goes something like this:
URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/myapp/myservlet");
URLConnection uconn = url.openConnection();
HttpURLConnection hconn = (HttpURLConnection) uconn;
hconn.setRequestMethod("POST");
hconn.setContentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
hconn.setDoOutput(true);
hconn.connect();
OutputStream os = hconn.getOutputStream();
... write the POST data, suitably encoded ...
