Servlets

Hi Ranchers,

i am new to servlets,please confirm this
Is it possible to send an FTP based request using sendredirect or requestdispatcher in httpservlet

[William Brogden]

requestDispatcher - no, of course not, the request stays HTTP based

sendRedirect - good question, I guess it would depend on how the browser treats a resource URL starting "ftp" - after a Redirect the servlet has nothing more to do with the request.

I would experiment with the browser first.
