[davidck88]

Hi all. I am trying to access a servlet using HTTPS Post protocol and get its response in textbox but i don't know how. All i want to send the servlet one varible which is name and get the server response in textbox.Right now when i type a name in the textbox and click submit i get directed to another page with some info as response(I want that response in textbox). I be happy if some one show me how this can be done.Thanks

Note: I don't want any webbrowser controle solution since not all users use IE6 or older
