Hi guys, I need to refresh a page using meta refresh that redirects the page to a servlet. But I need to also capture in case user does not get the cookie on. I used both response.encodeURL() and response.encodeRedirectURL90 method to make sure the session ID is there. But, for some reason, the session ID does not get included in the refresh. Any idea?

Do you somehow send it in the body with the >OutputStream? If so how? setRequestProperty() allows you to specify an HTTP request *header*. The values sent as POSTs are sent in the body of the POST. In order to POST the parameter "name" with the value "value" to a server we do the following: - get an HttpURLConnection: HttpURLConnection urlcon=new URL("http://host/res/";).openConnection(); - set the URLConnection to allow output: urlcon.setDoOutput(true); - set the content type and method correctly: utlcon.setRequestMethod("POST"); urlcon.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-url-encoded "); - add the post body to the request: OutputStream out=urlcon.getOutputStream(); out.println(URLEncoder.encode("name") +"=" +URLEncoder.encode("value")); out.flush(); out.close(); It's unforunate that POSTs are not better supported by the API, they easily could be, but as you're probably beginning to understand: there are a lot of holes in java.net.URL classes.
