A class to simplify HTTP/HTTPS client-server communication. It abstracts the communication into messages, which can be either GET or POST.

It can be used like this:

  
 HttpsMessage msg = new HttpsMessage("https://[some server]");
  
 Properties props = new Properties();
 props.put("name", "value");
  
 InputStream in = msg.sendGetMessage(props);
 

This class extends the HttpMessage class written by Jason Hunter at servlets.com. The HttpMessage class can be found in the com.oreilly.servlet package found at www.servlets.com

For information see http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip96.html Note this class works with JDK 1.2 or later only.
