url connection problem

[tyler jones]

In my applet, I'm trying to call an .asp page that executes an update against our sql server database. I'm creating a url object and passing in the url to the asp page. I'm getting the following error and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.
java.net.UnknownServiceException: no content-type
Here's my code for url portion of the applet...

try {
    URL updateLink = new URL("http://www.mysite.com/myutilities/update_Alerts.asp?UniqueId=" + ID + "&Server=" + s + "&Catalog=" + c);
    URLConnection con = updateLink.openConnection();
    PopUp dn = new PopUp("Connecting to page.","Alert",100);
    } 
    catch ( Exception e ) 
    {
        PopUp up = new PopUp(e.toString(),"Error",100);
    }

And here's the code to my asp page...

UniqueId = trim(request("UniqueId") & "")
sServer = trim(request("Server") & "")
sCatalog = trim(request("Catalog") & "")
if lenb(UniqueActivityId) > 0 and lenb(sServer) > 0 and lenb(sCatalog) > 0 then
set conASP = connectToASP(sServer, sCatalog)
sql = "update Alerts set Reminded = 1 where UniqueId = " & UniqueId
conASP.execute(sql)
disconnect ( conASP )
Response.ContentType = "text/html"
end if

I modified my code a bit and I'm getting a different error now. I don't know if I made things better or worse

try {
    URL updateLink = new URL("http://www.mysite.com/mypage.asp");
    URLConnection con = updateLink.openConnection();
    con.setDoOutput(true);
    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(con.getOutputStream());
    out.println("UniqueId="+MessageID+"&Server="+s+"&Catalog="+c);
    out.close();
    PopUp dn = new PopUp("Connecting to page.","Alert",100);
    } 
    catch ( Exception e ) 
    {
    PopUp up = new PopUp(e.toString(),"Error",100);
    }

... and this is the error I'm getting....

Nevermind, I figured out that I was getting this because I was opening the htm page on my own machine and the applet was trying to connect to one of our webservers. As soon as I let the applet run from the webserver, it all worked fine. It called the asp page which then updated the database.... wooohooooooo! Now, I can finally finish this project.
