Dear All,
I am trying to send an HTTP request to an ASP page.
Actually, i am writing a servlet which runs on tomcat 3.2 and wants to call
an ASP page and send it some form data. This is a requirement of the third
party software we are using to validate credit card details. How can i call
an ASP page from a java servlet using HTTP?
Thanx in advance,
Hitesh

the simplest way is to redirect the page to the asp page with parameters in
the query string in the form of :
page.asp?param=value&param1=value
as far as I know you can transfer as much as 1 k in this form
the other way is to use sockets and to post the data to an asp page
in this way you can transfer bigger amounts of data
