java code to fake form POST?

[D. Alvarado]

Hi,
Does anyone know who I can fake submiting data via the POST method
in Java? This is code that I'm writing for a servlet, and the data is
too big such that I can just append it to the url I want to submit it
to.

Much thanks - Dave

POST data must have Multipart format. See javax.mail.Mutlipart.

You need to get the URLConnection's output stream and write to that
after you connect. To get the response, get the input stream right
after you finish writing. Preferrably you should put the data into a
StirngBuffer first and send a Content-Length header in the request as
well. And remember the right content-type for form data.

No, only if you want to simulate <input type=file>. You can perfectly
well send a POST with a body that looks just like the parameters would
look if you had used GET instead.
