[Helma-user] Posting to URL

[Julian Tree]

Hmm, I am actually looking for HTTP POST  that will submit multipart/ 
form data with attached files.   I may be wrong, but it seems that  
helma.HTTP will only accept string objects in the setContent. It will  
also require me to write my own HTTP header, which something I am not  
to comfortable with.

I actually found a java lib that will make very easy HTTP Post request?

http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/17679/1954?pf=true

Making a multipart/form http post request is easy as

InputStream serverInput = ClientHttpRequest.post(
                               new java.net.URL("hi.iq/register"),
                               new Object[] {
                                             "name", "J.Doe",
                                             "email",  
"abuse at spamcop.com",
                                             "test.txt", new
File("C:\home\vp\tmp\test.txt")
                                            });

Shall we integrate this into helma http?  I would happy to volunteer  
when I finish this project.
