Re: swing talking to servlets...

["george wang" <george_wang@bellsouth.net>]

6 months ago, httpclient from apache did not work for me.  I used
http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/ which worked great (for http and
https).  I might still have the code snipped as repards to applet->servlet.
Let me know if you need it.
