Re: Using com.oreilly.servlet in https mode

Jason,
        thanks for the reply. So if I have a standalone client that is
attempting to upload or download a file from an ssl enabled web server,
I use HttpsMessage but how, for an upload, do I attach the file to the
HttpsMessage object? Do I make one of the properties a data block
containing the file?
Cheers,
        Neil.

For handling file uploads on the server, the servlet container takes
care of the HTTPS work so you just use MultipartRequest (or
MultipartParser) the same as with HTTP.  When writing a standalone
client there's no container to help and you need to have more awareness
of the HTTPS communication, so use HttpsMessage there.  It encapsulates
the HTTPS logic.
