Answer 1

Thanks, silk.
That may be a possibility. I'm not sure I want the
client to have to make a second request,Isn't that what you mentioned in the OP ? ... if the
clients hit
your page, but you really want them to go somewhere
else,
you have to do it client-side ..
I thought that was the difference between forward and
redirect: forwarding is handled server side, and
redirecting is a response back to the client telling
him to go somewhere else. Ggainey said he thought you
could only forward locally. Are you confirming that
that's the case?what i was talking about was that even forwarding locally is done client
side; http-headers, no? i was suggesting that the idea of using a HttpConnection,
obviously, would not make that client go there, the server would ...
and I'd
rather have just the XML by itself, without itbeing
something's value.Not sure what you mean here, if you are 'posting'it,
it
has to be a value...I don't think so. Yes, you're right, i don't know what i was thinking when i wrote that.
If the only way to avoid a huge nasty roll-my-own is
to send the XML as a value, then I guess I can do it.Perhaps you could look into the way files are uploaded via html;
and hook your xml up to that instead of as a plain-old form value...?
depending on how large your xml-file is this is probably the most
appropriate way to go ...
This raises the next question: What do I have to do to
the XML to make it behave nicely as the RHS of value=?htmlEncode it; basically the double quotes just need to be " or whatever the
appropriate html code is. (note it will need to be reversed on the other side).
(of course, if you are going the file route; it will be in base64 form.)
