Doubt regarding Directory Upload using HTTPclient3.1 library

[Deepthi Guduru]

Hello everyone,

I am new to using Apache HTTP Client3.1 library. I understood how to upload a file in specified location using Apache commons file- upload ,but i was unable to understand how to upload directories using Apache commons file upload . For ex: You see, the directory contains some files in it as well as other directories. Basically this directory also has sub-directories and files.

Can anyone suggest me how to proceed further.



Thanks & Regards,
Deepthi

the http-client only handles standard HTTP methods. such as GET, POST, PUT. for more advanced features like "mkdir" on the server, you could create an administrative servlet (like on a different URL) /myapp/createFolder?path=aDir and your client app would need to know to call that if needed (such as the directory did not exist).. and then use the commons-httpclient facility to PUT a file.

Another idea, there might be to see if some existing API projects that do this already in a higher level protocl, such as WebDAV.
