Excellent work, sir - this has saved a huge amount of effort.

The only inconsistency I have found is that it seems to work well on "normal" http port, but cannot connect on 8080 for a Tomcat server. Am I missing something obvious?

If it cannot connect to that server, something is preventing it. Maybe it is a firewall in the middle. Without seeing the error that it is returning, it is hard to tell what can be the problem.

That's my assumption, as well. I just wanted to be sure that there was no "oh, yeah, do X to talk to 8080" solution :)

the post call returns a standard 110 "could not connect". When a file is sent from a test form to the same address, it completes.

Also tried altering the user-agent string to a Mozilla string and the referrer to a url on the same server.

When submitted to a test application on several other servers at port 80 (apache), works perfectly.

Thanks for your help

That seems to be a connection timeout usually cause by a firewall discarding connection request packets. So, you should not be able to connect to that port while the firewall is blocking it.

I have been telling them that for quite a while, but since this simplistic application does not involve at least 2 frameworks, 40 extraneous XML files and 100 compilation/deployment-steps, why would anyone believe the obvious? :)

BTW, I am not familiar with Tomcat, but are you sure it takes requests via HTTP protocol? If not, it does not make sense to use this class and they could explain why the server would not respond and connections time out.

Jakarta/Tomcat is the Java-Sever-Page version of "real" Apache - an abomination, imho..

BTW - the receiving app was moved to a new server, without ancient legacy firewall security policies in place, and *amazingly* it worked first time.. Thank you again for your help :)
