Mayuresh,

As requested.

Here is the Java code to "throw XML" at a URL without any headers
whatsoever.

You call the program in the following format:

java xml_send <url> <input file name> <output file name>

e.g.

java xml_send https://yy.someurl.com/xml/rx.asp inqr4.xml resp5.xml

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.net.ssl.*;

import com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol.https.*;
import java.security.Security;

public class xml_send {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    if (args.length < 3) {
      System.out.println("Usage: java xml_send URL filename");
    }
    else {
      try {
// Add provider
         System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
"com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
         Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
              
        URL url = new URL(args[0]);
        String document = args[1];
        String response = args[2];
        FileReader fr = new FileReader(document);
        FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(response);
        char[] buffer = new char[1024*10];
        int bytes_read = 0;
        if ((bytes_read = fr.read(buffer)) != -1)
          {
            URLConnection urlc = (URLConnection) url.openConnection();
            urlc.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml");
            urlc.setDoOutput(true);
            urlc.setDoInput(true);
            PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(urlc.getOutputStream());

            // send xml to jsp
            pw.write(buffer, 0, bytes_read);
            pw.close();

            BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter( fw );
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(urlc.getInputStream()));
            String inputLine;
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
            {
                    out.write(inputLine);
                System.out.println(inputLine);
            }
            in.close();
            out.close();
            }
          }
          catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
          }
       }
    }
}
