Java POST requests from LiveSite component to external server (weblogic)

Dear forum

We have this LS component that makes a successfull POST request to an external weblogic server (using java.net.URLConnection).

The POST is successful insofar that it is established. But for some reason the parameters sent are not picked up by weblgoic.

The code we use works outside of LiveSite, so we out first guess is not that that is the issue..

Kind regards,

some steps in debugging this:

Use something to verify that the data was actually sent:
Firefox - HttpFox or FireBug or LiveHttpHeaders
IE - Fiddler or HttpWatch

You can also use a firefox plugun called Webdeveloper to view all forms on the page and see how inputs are grouped

Change method to GET and see if that fixes the problem

Change the action= to go to a simple echo server to see what is sent to it

Thanks!

Already see the headers from the browser, the issue is (or rather was since it's now resolved), that the headers in question are sent from a java driven component - and thus are not accessible to the browser at that stage in the flow.

Eventually we did get a guy on the legacy system to set up a jsp page that returned what the component sent and with that information we were able to sort it out.
