get file out of server

[garbmail10]

Hallo to everyone
I have an question
Is there any way to load client-side a page out of the server domain ?
(Maybe with java applet ? or any other language ?)

Thanks in advance

Depends on what you mean by 'load'.

Are you wanting to load and execute code from the server, within the context of the active document, or simply load an entirely new page?

Clarification is needed.

Google for "file servlet". It's been done so many times before.

thanks for replying
i mean load a "something. htm" page from another dns.

to make it simpler.
lets say my server is www.server.com
I'd like to load clientside a "www.another.co m/something.htm",
preferably not using www.server.com to pass it thru.

To get a file from "www.another.co m/something.htm" you simply fetch the file through a URLConnection; something like this:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;

public class URLContent {
	
	private void process(String s) {
		
		System.out.println(s);
	}
	
	public URLContent(String site) {
		
		try {				
			URL url= new URL(site);
			
			HttpURLConnection con= (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

			con.setRequestMethod("GET");
			con.connect();

			if (con.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
				BufferedReader r= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
				for (String s; (s= r.readLine()) != null; )
					process(s);
			}
		}
		catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		new URLContent("http://www.another.com/something.htm");
	}
}

JosAH, i have one question
may the above be used as part of an applet running on a browser ??
will the browser allow an out of server page to be fetched ??
thanks again...

All the normal rules apply to applets when/if you use that code so you can't fetch or connect to an out of server url; you have to sign your applet for that so that it's trusted. I did that once but forgot all about it because it was a bit of a messy process. Sun has some tutorials about that subject though; google for them.

kind regards,
