in the POST command, it's in this format:

POST /path/script.cgi HTTP/1.0
From: frog@jmarshall.com
User-Agent: HTTPTool/1.0
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 32

home=Cosby&favorite+flavor=flies

but different servers have different locations for "/path/script.cgi"...how do I know what to put there? how does java's HttpConnection class handle that part of POST? thanks.

The path is an attribute of the form; when it's not an attribute of the form, it's the same path as the document that contained the form. It's just like any other URL reference.

enum Bool { True, False, FileNotFound };
