How to cancel a http connection mid-way

Hi,
I would like to cancel a http connection mid-way.
For example, I may make a connection to a web server and the midlet will display a wait screen with a Gauge showing the status of the connection. The screen also has a Cancel button to allow the user to cancel the connection.
I have written a method to cancel the connection (as below), but it doesn't work. The connection continues to be processed.
public void cancel () {
      try {
      if (httpconn != null) httpconn.close();
      if (instrm!=null) instrm.close();
      if (outstrm!=null) outstrm.close();
      if (bStrm!=null) bStrm.close();
      } catch (Exception e) { logger.addLog("cancel "+e.toString()); }
}Has anyone successfully tried to cancel a http connection mid-way?
Thanks.

Hi,
I was also facing such problem but i got a solution for it.Method in which your are making HTTP Connection check a boolean variable after every line if
boolean variable is true than terminate connection otherwise continue connection. And set boolean variable true when cancel method is called.

How to establish an Https connection from a html client

Hi! I�m totally new to Java so my question is rather"stupid". I have an html page that sends a post to a servlet
<form name="form" action="servlet/ServletLogOn" method="post">
I want to establish an https connection between the client and the servlet. How is it?
Thanks in advance.

Ignore the previous poster's reply - he was obviously mislead by my original post re: JSSE.
How you install an SSL certificate on your webserver is completely dependent on the webserver you are using. Ususally there is some functionality for doing this from the administrative interface - usually involves pasting some text from the CA's (certificate authority, e.g. Verisign) site into a text box and designating a port number for SSL traffic (use 443, it's internet standard). I've actually only done this for Netscape Enterprise Server - you may want to find a forum for users of your webserver to ask for specifics.

How to create and test HTTP connection for proxy

HI
Can anybody help me by providing step by step guide for how to create a HTTP connection for inbound abap proxy?
How i will get sure that connection is working properly?
Thanks

Hi Debraj,
You should be able to do that in SM59 of the XI Box.
Create the connection under "HTTP Connections to R/3 System".
Provide the Target Host IP Address.Service Number and Path Prefix.
Select the logon procedure as SAP Standard.
SSL Inactive.
Provide Logon details.

How to make HTTP connection between a midlet and a php server?

As the title above, can anyone share how to make a HTTP connection between those 2? J2ME and PHP. Thanks a lot!

Can you be a little more specific on what you really want.
When i started doing j2me application, i was required to be able to comunicate to a oracle client database, and my first though was using PHP based pages to comunicate and do the query. Later they would just generate the answer and get it on the cellphone. You can communicate with a PHP server via either GET or POST. I'd choose POST as is more secure IMO.
Here are quite a good ammount of examples of how you can do it
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/J2ME/Networks.htm
They aren't PHP based examples, but you have can an idea of how it can be done

How to cancel a print job in progress

I have a HP C5580. When i was using Windows ME on my former PC, I could easily go to Printers, select the 5580, hit documents in queue, and hit cancel , and the printer stopped.
Got a new Compaq PC with Windows 7, and I can't figure out how to cancel a print job mid stream. I go to Printers and Devices, giet the page that allows me to view the print jobs in queue, I hit "print job in process", but the "Cancel" is not in bold print and I can'tfind any other way to cancel the job.
Help !

The easiest way to cancel a print job would be by pressing the cancle button on the front panel. This is the "X" button near the right side of the control panel, see pages 10 and 11 of the user manual here.

Here iam getting a status error as HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED
here my scenario is File to Proxy
Suggest me where i have to make this connection means in XI or SAP system regarding this scenario (file to proxy)?
Any suggestions.
thanx,
krishna.

Hi Krishna,
When you create a RFC in SM59 provide/check the following info
Provid the RFC destination
Provide connection type as G HTTP connection to external server
In description tab provide at least one description
In technical settings provide target host name and provide service no then provide the path prefix
Leave the HTTP proxy options empty
In Logon&Security tab choose basic authentication in logon procedure
In Status of Secure Protocol choose SSL as Inactive then choose SSL Client Certificate as DEFAULT SSL Client(standard)
In Special Options tab choose and set Specify time out 900 msec
In HTTP Settings choose HTTP 1.0
Compression Status choose as inactive
Choose compression status inactive then choose compressed response as YES
In HTTP Cookies choose Accept Cookies choose NO
Save the connection and do a test connection it will prompt for Response from Web Server Contains Cookies Accept? Accept all further cookies tick the box and say YES
If you still have problem please paste the error.
You can refer the XI trouble shooting doc at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bd5950ff-0701-0010-a5bc-86d45fd52283

RecordStore, HTTP connections

Hi all!
I'm not familiar with Midlet programming, so I have some questions. I hope that programmers who have experience can give me answer.
I think there are two things which are whireless device specific: the data storing facility and the handling of http connections.
So my questions are:
1. Approximately how many bytes can be stored on a mobile phone?
2. If there are more than one midlets uploaded how can they share the storage space? If a midlet occupy the half of the available space, the other midlets the remaining space can use?
3. How is resolved a http connection? Is it something like a dial-up connection? If yes, when is finished? When the connection is closed?
If my midlet uses several http connections this dial-up process is always repeated?
4. I would like to write a simple 'pizza shop'. That means that the midlet would often communicate with a web server. Is it a realizable idea? (I know it is a little bit stupid...:)
Thanks in advance,
holex

answeres that i can give:
1. its device specific, some have more memory then others.
2. just as on your computer, they just share the memory, problems may only occure when u have 2 or more midlets running at the same time, as i heard i should be posible but never needet to do it myself.
3. on the most mobile phones in the new group of m. phones (think all java phones are of the new generation) you phone is always on the net, you pay per package that you transfer, that meens you are always on the net, so you just need to open a connection to a server just as your pc does if you have already programmed java.net programs. you need to open only a connection and close it but do not need to dial into anything.
remember, you are alway online, just what you send and recieve ist what you pay for.
4. it is not only realizable but even it should be kind of easy if you are aware of client server programming. the j2me would only be your GUI.
i will give you some idea on how to do it:
1st. create a server in java2 or java2ee (the first one would be easyer) which will listen to a port, on request tell if there is a new pizza menue, if yes send the new one to the client if not send a 'no update' flag, listen for incoming requests and if there is a request, show it on the desktop pc's screen.
2nd. client, which on start send a request to the server, asking for a new menue if there is one, if not show the old one. save what the user wants, (pizza with tuna and 1l coke a bottle of wine and so on...) after choosing sends the data to the server. I would do one more thing, one the first start of the programm ask the user vor his infos: tel. num., addres, and what ever you need and a unique id (time+ infos+math algo). save the settings and send it to the server which saves it.
on the next time the saved id will be send to the server and so the user will have less connection time and less packages to send.
there might be some more things to do but if you know java2 the normal version it should be kinda easy.
wish you luck

What is the best way to open a HTTPS connection?

What is the best way to open a HTTPS connection and retrieve the content as XML? This is how most of the online API is done nowadays, how can this be done on the iphone SDK?
Thanks

Have a look at the SeismicXML example that comes with the iPhone SDK. It uses http instead of https but it may work for you.
You can also look at the NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection classes.
Enjoy.

In the only way I can configure it I have to include the pw when configuring the account and after that it do not ask for pw so everyone that shares my iPad can oppen my mail with no pw required.
Thank

The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.

How do i use an alredy open HTTP connection belong to aother class

When my apps logs in the User by checking that the username and password are correct against the server then there has been a connection opened to perform this task.
Then the user is returned to the Main Menu.
After that they can send some data to the server.
Class 1 handles the sending of Username and Password.
And has already opened a HTTP connection.
Class 2 that will send more data to the server will need to open a connection if there is not one already open.
How do i check if there is an open connection?
Do i need to check?
Can both classes use the same connection? As its to the same server and same php script.
Thanks for you help on this (once again :-/ )

I need to update a phone book that is downloaded to the phone(MIDlet) once the User is verified.
The user can edit the phonebook on the phone then each change needs to be sent back to the php script on the server.
Can i have a loop for the number of updates i need to do then just loop through the code?
Or will i need to repeat the whole above operation for every update i need to make.
E.g. 5 edits?
