Hi guys, I'm using Ethereal to look at the packets I'm sending out. I want to send the exact same packet using my own socket. I created the socket just fine but what should I use to send it ? In the Java examples they use a PrintWriter but I can't get it to work. Do I have to send everything that I see in Ethereal or is the top part the header that Java will automatically include ? The packet in Ethereal looks something like this (ASCII view): ..stuff not ascii......<xml stuff>. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks man, I got it to work. I''m using ByteArrayOutputStream for now, it's a little clunky but it does the trick.

PS - Norway must be nice :)
