Hi All
I am a peoplesoft developer and I dont understand JSP too well . I have following two questions about the code below .

1) Are we using a POST call to
https://SomeUrl/ssoreq.asp (not a GET
request) ?
2) Are we assigning the content-length and content-type header
variables prior to executing the POST call ? ...

Quick responses would be highly appreciated . Thanks

Not sure what you trying to achieve by queering ASP based document, would you care to explain what sort of data you wish to get from it? My general feeling is that you should use web service/SOAP etc

For the second part I'm not sure what you trying to do.
