Howto connect with http to a socket - header problem?

Question

Hi
i am writing a midlet that connects via http to a server with a java socket.
i can receive the data, but when i try to return data to the sockets outputstream,
the midlet doesnt receive it and waits endlessly.
Do i have to send a http header in the return connection?
Does anybody have another idea?
if not, how do i send the header and how should it look like?
Thanks for your help.

if you use a socket connection you need to talk the language the server understands, means, you need to send the commands that are specified in the rfc for the protocol you use. means, talking to a webserver is different that talking to pop3 server or to a ftp server.....
and, just for your information: sockets are not requiered in the j2me specification, means that not all vendors have implemented socket protocol into their devices. only required is http.
