Apache - HttpConnection

[Ramya Iyer]

Using org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection

I am trying to establish a connection using this class from one servlet in one server to another servlet to another server.

I am not sure how I should do it. Is there any snippet of code. I am posting data, but it never reaches my receiving servlet

HttpConnection httpConn = null;
HttpClient connection = new HttpClient();
HostConfiguration hostConfig = new HostConfiguration();
HostParams httpParams = new HostParams();
httpParams.setVirtualHost("/ServletServer/TestRequestInputStream");
URI uri = new URI("http://"+ip+":9080/ServletServer/TestRequestInputStream",true);
hostConfig.setHost(uri);
hostConfig.setParams(httpParams);
 
httpConn = 
connection.getHttpConnectionManager().getConnection(hostConfig);
 
httpConn.open();
 

OutputStreamWriter writer =  new OutputStreamWriter(httpConn.getRequestOutputStream());
writer.write( "Hi..");
writer.flush();
httpConn.close();
