Well it didn't when I used sockets to access a serial modem. If the
modem didn't send a byte, it would just never time out.

I think I'm missing that, but thats a different problem.[color=blue]

(..doing a HTTP POST...)
because of the Java source I have:
public void putFile(String thedir, String thefile) throws Exception {
System.out.println(getStorePath()+thefile);
URL theurl = new URL(getStorePath()+thefile.replace(' ','_'));
System.out.println(theurl.toString());
URLConnection conn = theurl.openConnection();
// setting the authorization header doesn't seem to work - it
remains as null
// and then causes errors
// conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization","Basic "+auth);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
URL newurl = conn.getURL();
System.out.println(newurl.toString());
// conn.connect();
connect(new FileInputStream(new File(thedir,
thefile)),conn.getOutputStream());
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String response = in.readLine();
System.out.println(response);
I'm unsure, if this connection contains HTTP headers and if and what
request method is used.
I also can't quite figure out what the fieldname might be. There is
nothing in connect(in,out) that does anything else but copying. I have
tried to just post 'thefile' with curl:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $thefile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "xxx:xxx");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
but I get an 503 as an answer.
Thanks for your help so far.
Jochen
