Hi, I have a simple Java client that uses HTTP Post to pass an XML string to a servlet on Tomcat. This is done with a HttpURLConnection and writing to a DataOutputSteam. The string looks like the following:
xmldocument=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><AdvancedSearch>test</AdvancedSearch> In my servlet, when I call getParameterNames() on the request, I get the following: parameter name: "1.0" encoding parameter value: "UTF-8"?><AdvancedSearch>test</AdvancedSearch> These values are not what I expected. However, when I call the same servlet with the same data using a browser (IE5), I get the correct values parameter name: xmldocument parameter value: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><AdvancedSearch>test</AdvancedSearch> Both calls use "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" as the content-type. I also tried to explicitly encode the string passed by the Java client using URLEncoder.encode() but that didn't work. Does anyone have any idea why these differences occur? Is there something significantly different between how a browser and a standalone client do a HTTP post, besides some header info? Also, if anyone knows of a simple example demonstrating posting XML to a servlet in Tomcat, it would be great if you could refer me to it. Thanks, Bo
