In one of my Graphing programs written in Java, I am trying to send a

I found some code on internet that helped me post text data to the
module.

Can someone suggest how I may post the graphics image binary data using
POST method


URL url = new URL("http://www.your-server.com";); HttpURLConnection
connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.connect();
DataOutputStream out =
new DataOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream()); // use one of write
methods of out
out.flush();
out.close();

I'm actually in the process of doing this right now. I'm going to be
posting the image to a URL that is a PHP script. When I was looking at
this I thought that this really made more sense to use a PUT method to
post the image, but the guy working on the PHP side insisted on using a
POST method.

Is there a reason that POST would be selected over PUT for this
application? Are there reasons to go with PUT here?

Thanks.

PUT is simple, efficient, and robust for transferring a single file.
POST is inefficient and less robust (stupid MIME format) but it can also
support complex types of data.

The server-side developer has a say in this. POST is easier to use in a
high-level framework. PUT is easier to use in a low-level framework.
