Ok, thnx so far, but I'm 100% sure I'm using a post. It's not a form, but
I'm using my own socket impl. of the http protocol to make it support
timeouts and stuff...
here it is, this is what I'm sending through the outputstream of the socket.
The GET-requests all get redirected to www.smarthaven.com and the post
request are actually executed. All the time when I'm using a length that
doesn't exceed 2048 it actually works, when the length begins to exceed
2048, it doesn't work anymore, SO IN FACT, IT SEEMS THERE'S ALSO A
LIMITATION ON THE POST?????? (at least in Tomcat???????). Somehow the last
two <CRLF> don't arrive (get truncated) and the request isn't passed
through....
ANY IDEAS???????
thnx,
Alef Arendsen
www.smarthaven.com
POST /xmlserver/EntryPoint?bla=bla&blie=blie<CRLF>
HTTP/1.1<CRLF>
Content-Length:0<CRLF>
<CRLF>
My servlet looks like this:
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
response.sendRedirect("http://www.smarthaven.com");
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
// DO SOMETHING (the actual logic, here it DOESN'T arrive anymore if
the request is > 2048)
}
