Weblogic Servlet to IIS/ASP

Question

Hello,
          Big picture: We have a 3rd party IIS server with ASP behind our firewall.
          We need our WebLogic server to "forward" request to it.
          I implemented this with a Servlet under WL that uses HttpURLConnection to
          open a connection pass on POSTed parameters, set up the cookies, read the
          html back from the IIS server and then send it back to the browser.
          Problem is, the IIS machine is requesting "Connection" "Keep-alive" in the
          header and has timing problems with its session since HttpURLConnection
          doesn't support Keep-alive.
          It looks like the package weblogic.net.http provides the functionality I
          need but where is a tutorial or sample code? Please help by either
          suggesting another entire approach or telling me how to use
          weblogic.net.http package.
          Thanks!!

Answer 1

I think you are already using weblogic.net.* implementation
          because weblogic sets 'java.protocol.handler.pkgs' system property,
          which includes weblogic.net package, which contains http.Handler,
          so when you create new URL and open connection it will automatically
          use weblogic.net.http.HttpURLConnection.
