HttpClient

             The HttpClient class does the real network communication. It simply sends the designated request line and request headers to the Web server, then reads the lines that come back one at a time, placing them into a TextArea until either the server closes the connection or the HttpClient is interrupted by means of the isInterrupted flag.

String portString = portField.getTextField().getText();

if (portString.length() == 0) {

report("Missing port number");

return(false);

}

try {

port = Integer.parseInt(portString);

} catch(NumberFormatException nfe) {

report("Illegal port number: " + portString);

return(false);

}

requestLine =

requestLineField.getTextField().getText();

if (requestLine.length() == 0) {

report("Missing request line");

return(false);

}

getRequestHeaders();

return(true);

}

private void report(String s) {

resultArea.setText(s);

}

private void getRequestHeaders() {

for(int i=0; i<requestHeaders.length; i++)

requestHeaders[i] = null;

int headerNum = 0;

String header =

requestHeadersArea.getText();

StringTokenizer tok =

new StringTokenizer(header, "\r\n");

while (tok.hasMoreTokens())

requestHeaders[headerNum++] = tok.nextToken();

}

}
