java.net.URLConnection and CGI using RPGIV

[James Rogers]

Hello all,

Does anyone have any experience of using a java thin-client connecting to
the url of a cgi program (in RPGIV), I have tried and cannot make this work.
Is there some unknown event taking place that I should know about?

(Specifically, the java application creates a url to our AS/400, then does
an openConnection(), getOutputStream(), this all happens without any sign of
error, either from the java application or the http server, the write()
completes normally, yet there is no evidence that the cgi program has done
anything. (Please bare in mind that when POSTED from a web page, the same
cgi program works exactly as expected).

Thanks,

James
