Hi
I am posting some files to a server via http through java. And it all
works very well. But now i want to add a progressmonitor to my
transfer, because they take some time.
But i can't find any way to get notified during the transfer. Only
before and after. All the data is transfered to the outputstream and
then it is transfered. And i dont know how to get any info during this
transfer.
I don't need any gui stuff just some simple output to the terminal
during the transfer.

Can anyone help me?

/Jacob

What about writing your HTTP classes yourself ? Then it should be easy to
to implement a progress bar or similar stuff. The GET and POST methods are
not really difficult to implement.
Get yourself a copy of "curl" and run it like this:
curl -v http://an.interesting.host/with/a/file.html
It should give you an idea of the HTTP protocol...
