Thread: Applet writing to an http server.

I am trying to write to an http server, but nothing happens. I can read from the file, I just cannot write to it and no errors are thrown. I do not know how to proceed.

Specifically, I have a text file on my server, and I can read from it (the text file already has content), but I cannot write to it. And, no exceptions are thrown.

 
    url = new URL("http://kajl-ig.com/txt.txt"); 
    urlConn = url.openConnection(); 
    urlConn.setDoInput(true); 
    urlConn.setDoOutput(true); 
    urlConn.setUseCaches(false); 
    BufferedWriter  bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(urlConn.getOutputStream()));
    String s = "TEST Successfull!"; 
 
	bw.write(s); // doesn't work
	bw.close();
 
	BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConn.getInputStream()));
	System.out.println(br.readLine()); // works
  } 
 
  catch (MalformedURLException mue) { System.out.println("MUE");
  } 
  catch (IOException ioe) { System.out.println("IOE");
  }

That was my initial code, here is another API I tried:

URL                url; 
    URLConnection      urlConn; 
    DataOutputStream   dos; 
    DataInputStream    dis;
 
    url = new URL("http://kajl-ig.com/txt.txt"); 
    urlConn = url.openConnection(); 
    urlConn.setDoInput(true); 
    urlConn.setDoOutput(true); 
    urlConn.setUseCaches(false); 
    BufferedWriter  bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(urlConn.getOutputStream()));
    String message = "TEST Successfull!"; 
 
 
    dos = new DataOutputStream (urlConn.getOutputStream());  
    dos.writeBytes(message); 
    	dos.flush();
	dos.close();
 
    dis = new DataInputStream(urlConn.getInputStream()); 
    String s = dis.readLine(); 
    dis.close(); 
   System.out.println(s+" "+dos.size());
 
  } // end of "try"
 
  catch (MalformedURLException mue) { System.out.println("MUE");
  } 
  catch (IOException ioe) { System.out.println("IOE");
  }

The second code, I got from some random website, and I was desperate so I tried it. I am not sure what the

urlConn.setRequestProperty (String, String);

method does, so I removed it and it reads fine it just cannot write.

I was under the impression I could write to any http server (via a basic CGI). I am using hostgator, and I can do file transfers via FTP. So, this should reproduce that essentially right?

I have very limited access to their gateway.

Yes, it has to be a server side issue. When I said gateway I was referring to a gateway interface for retrieving or accessing their SQL.
