Re: Java Autopostback?

Hi everybody,

I'm writing a web server in Java for html and servlets.
when the server receives a GET request, it works fine.

problem: when I use POST, the server program stops and the submit button has
to be clicked another time or the page has to be manually refreshed (after
that it works fine).
so, the program waits for the client to send a new signal/request.
The problem is caused by a in.readLine() statement:

if(method.equals("GET") && URI.contains("?"))
paraLine = URI.substring(URI.indexOf("?")+1, URI.length());
else if(method.equals("POST"))
paraLine = in.readLine(); // in the POST request, the parameters are
in the http request body

how to avoid that?

I don't think the bug is in those four lines. What you need is a good
debugger and I recommend jSwat: http://jswat.sourceforge.net/

By the way, you can also pass GET-like parameters to a POST request:

POST somefile.php?hello=world HTTP/1.1
.....
.
