Thanks for the information. The reason I was attempting to
remove these
request headers was to imitate what the Internet Explorer
was doing when
it does a post request to the same web page. Maybe Internet
Explorer is
not following the rules for HTTP protocol.
I have only been using the request entity when doing a
multi-part post
request. When the post includes only text type parameters I
do not
create the request entity. Am I doing that right?

Hi Tom,
some request headers are handled automatically by HTTP
client,
in order to ensure correct HTTP requests or to support
features
that should not require application code. These headers will
be
inserted at the time you execute the request. You can not
remove
them using removeRequestHeader(). Examples are:
Host:
is required for HTTP/1.1 - change to HTTP/1.0 to remove
User-Agent:
taken from the parameters, try (un)setting it there
Content-Type:
taken from the request entity
Content-Length:
taken from the request entity if present
You should be aware that removing such headers will
interfere
with the operation of the HTTP protocol. For example, you
are
trying to enforce connection keep-alive. That requires
either a
Content-Length header, or HTTP/1.1 with chunked encoding.
If you want to remove Host and Content-Length headers, you
can't have connection keep-alive. Play at your own risk
cheers,

Subject: Using "removeRequestHeader" method.
I apologize for reposting this email... I accidently
deleted my email
response after returning to the office. Did anyone have
any ideas on
why this is not working?
I am trying to remove request headers from my
"PostMethod" object before
sending a post operation to a server. I use the
"removeRequestHeader"
method as shown below. Although, in my log it shows the
request
headers as still being sent when I use the method
"getRequestHeaders".
Am I using the "removeRequestHeader" correctly.
Are you the right group
to ask question of. I am using commons Httpclient 3.0.
Java source code:
System.out.println("This is the URI after get3:
" + CurrentURI);
System.out.println("The URI post3:
https
://www.netteller.com/anchorlink/hbMain.cfm");
PostMethod post3 = new
PostMethod("https
://www.netteller.com/anchorlink/hbMain.cfm");
post3.getParams().setParameter("http.socket.timeout&q
uot;, new
Integer(5000));
post3.setRequestHeader("Accept",
"image/gif, image/x-xbitmap,
image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel,
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword,
application/x-shockwave-flash, */*");
post3.removeRequestHeader("User-Agent");
post3.removeRequestHeader("Host");
post3.removeRequestHeader("Content-Length");
post3.removeRequestHeader("Content-Type");
post3.setRequestHeader("Connection",
"Keep-Alive");
try { theclient.executeMethod(post3); }
catch (HttpException he)
{ he.printStackTrace(System.out);
System.out.println(he.getMessage().toString());
ErrorMessageText = he.getMessage().toString();
Email.send(EmailServer, ReplyToEmail, EmailForError,
"", "",
"Anchor Bank - Positive Pay Error!",
"Error Sending User Name and

ErrorMessageText, "", ntUserName, ntPassword,
ReplyToEmail, "");
BANKARJ.logoff(theclient, EmailServer, EmailForError,
ntUserName,
ntPassword, ReplyToEmail);
}
catch (IOException ie)
{ ie.printStackTrace(System.out);
System.out.println(ie.getMessage().toString());
ErrorMessageText = ie.getMessage().toString();
Email.send(EmailServer, ReplyToEmail, EmailForError,

"Anchor Bank - Positive Pay Error!",

BANKARJ.logoff(theclient, EmailServer, EmailForError,

}
System.err.println(post3.getStatusLine().toString());
CurrentURI = post3.getURI().toString();
System.out.println("Here are the post3 Request

Header[] ReqHeadersp3 = post3.getRequestHeaders();
for (int i=0; i<ReqHeadersp3.length; i++){
System.out.println(ReqHeadersp3[i]); }
System.out.println("Here are the post3 Response
Headers:");
Header[] RspHeadersp3 = post3.getResponseHeaders();
for (int i=0; i<RspHeadersp3.length; i++){
System.out.println(RspHeadersp3[i]); }
System.err.println("Here are the new cookies after
post3:");
Cookie[] p3aCookies = httpstate.getCookies();
for (int i=0; i<p3aCookies.length; i++){
System.err.println(i + ". " +
p3aCookies[i]); }
//System.out.println("Here is the post3 Response
Body:");
//System.out.println(post3.getResponseBodyAsString());
post3.releaseConnection();
Here is a clip out of my log:
Here are the post3 Request Headers:

If you use our PostMethod, you always have a request entity.
Setting
name/value pairs directly at the method will implicitly
create one,
using url-encoded form parameters.
