How can I make a multipart/form-data POST request using Java?
In the days of version 3.x of Apache Commons HttpClient, making a multipart/form-data POST request was possible (an example from 2004).

Hi, I have a site behind IIS and Enfold Proxy (a reverse proxy filter for IIS), served from Plone (a CMS) via a WSGI stack. Users use IE7. Somehow, requests are reaching the server with an If-Modified-Since header like this: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 06:46:31 GMT,Thu, 27 Aug 2009 06:46:31 As you can see, there are two dates here (one with a t...

I have a page that already makes multiple AJAX requests at the same time. They use the Comet model, so there are always multiple HTTP connections open, waiting for more data from the server. As the page gets more complex in the future there may be even more. I'm concerned about opening too many connections. I wonder if there is a way to...
