Hi -

I'm having a networking problem that only occurs
on the Mac (IE/PC, NS/PC, NS/Sun all are okay.)

The background: MRJ 2.2.5, IE 5.0, Mac OS 9.0.4

My applet is sending data to a CGI, but, using a
packet sniffer, it's clear only the HTTP headers
go over the net. If I send smaller amounts of
data (maybe <400k?) it gets sent fine.

Here's a distilled version of what I am doing
(I'm coping the following code by hand now..)

			

			URLConnection cnx;
			

			URL url;               // already initialized
			

			

			/* XXX use ONLY ONE of the following lines! XXX */
			

			cnx = new sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection(url, host, port);
			

			//cnx = url.openConnection();
			

			

			cnx.setDoInput(true);
			

			cnx.setDoOutput(true);
			

			cnx.setUseCaches(false);
			

			cnx.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
			

			cnx.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/x-binary");
			

			

			ostream = cnx.getOutputStream();
			

			

			.. write data to ostream ..
			

			

			ostream.flush();
			

			ostream.close();
			

			

			// data never goes out, so we hang here
			

			istream = cnx.getInputStream();
			

		

Regarding the 2 lines marked with XXX:

If I create an HttpURLConnection, as suggested here

			

			http://developer.apple.com/qa/java/java26.html
			

		

Sending more than a few 100k causes the data to not
go over the net. Smaller amounts work fine.

If I use url.openConnection(), I have the same problem
but usually not until I call this code a second time.
