Hi list, I hope that I have the correct forum, if not please point me in the correct direction, this is my first post here. I have written a simple command line application in Java (1.4.0) which posts multipart requests to a website I have built. (It posts images to a site by searching through a directory structure; along with the images it sends information like its name, description etc). When compiled to java bytecode and run using java.exe it works fine. I would love to be able to compile this program to a windows executable and have been trying to get GCJ to do this. I am using GCJ version 3.4. After getting past a few problems with unimplemented methods it compiles. When I attempt to run the executable the submission of form data fails. I have pasted below a log from my application showing the contents of the request to be sent, however my application server logs swear blind that although it received a post, there was absolutely nothing in it. I have also attached an exception thrown by the standalone application at this point, not sure if that is a red herring or not. I have attached the source code for my class which submits the posts. If anyone could see something obviously wrong which is causing this to fail I would be very thankful. Thanks, - Mat Pasted data: 1. Multipart form request before being sent 2.
