Hello everybody! I have problem: I have a web-site where there is a servlet running....let's suppose the servlet name is "MyServlet". Some users can connect to the web-site and request to the servlet to download a .pdf file (but the file type is not important and could be different). The file name is passed to the servlet sending a parameter, for example connecting to the url:
http://mydomain.com//MyServlet?FileName=File.pdf Note that the requested file is on a different web-site (let's suppose http://otherdomain.com) and the servlet must connect to this other site and download the file requested ("File.pdf") before sending it back to the user. That I need to know is: 1)How can I download a file from another site using a servlet? I mean....Which java code must I add to my servlet to do this? 2)Before sending the file to the user who requested it must I save it on disk or can I send it to the user "on the fly"? 3)How can I send the file from the servlet to the user that requested it? I hope someone can help me! Thanks a lot in advance.
