I had posted previously, and Bill gave me great advice. I am trying to conduct a post from the browser to a servlet and direct a post from the servlet to the remote IPWorks echo server example.
browser--post-->servlet--post-->IPWorks echo server...
I am getting an exception with getMessage: Unexpected end of file
from server this is my exception in the servlet I am catching. Although when I do a post from the browser directly to the server bypassing the servlet it returns the contents of the post back to the browser without any problems...
Sometimes it works but only some of the string is returned to the servlet....I have also kept the connection opened and also didnt flush the stream just in case...
heres the code::

}



public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws IOException, ServletException {

res.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();

// print content


out.println("<html><head>");
out.println("<title>TestServlet ( by ");
out.println( name );
out.println(" )</title>");
out.println("<style>body, p { font-family:tahoma;");
out.println(" font-size:12pt; }</style>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");

out.println("<p>TestServlet (");
out.println(xml);
out.println(" ) :</p>");

out.println("</body></html>");
out.close();
}

res.setContentType("text/html");

Also my echo servers log is showing 2 posts with the same time stamp as when I do it with the broswer directly to the echo server it only logs one post and returns the contents to the browser without no problems..
Thanks Again
