Http
Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to do an application that does the upload as well the download of files from a http server that needs authentication.
The thing is i am not very sure where to begin and i am open to any suggestions.
Basically what i am trying to upload is a html file onto the http server and also have the capability to download back that file back to my computer if i need it. The server i am using does not support ftp so using the sun's ftp classes are out but i am not sure if there are classes that exist for the uploading and downloading of files from a http server.
I am not using servlets but trying to upload or download a simple html file to http server from a java application
Sample codings as well as informative links would be helpfull
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank You
Yours Sincerely
Richard West

You aren't using servlet because you are using a java application to upload or download. Did I understand you rightly ?
If I understood you, what problems do you have with servlet or java application ?
I want to help you sincerely :)

You are 100% correct. That is exactly what i am doing. The thing is i know i can connect to a http using the URL class but the thing is how do i authenticate(a username and password) to connect to that particular URL??
Any help is greatly aprreciated
Thank You

I have asked my colleagues about your question but nobody know it.
I think you need to implement authentication yourself.
You can transfer authentication data through SSL.
I have found 'Using SSL Authentication in Java Clients' article.
The article contain enough information and source code for it.
