Write to a url

[killahara]

Have a txt file set up as url e.g.

http://www.website.com/file.txt

and it contains a number e.g. 00012 : need to retrive this number (which i can do) and modify the value in an applet and then send it back to that url : is it possible ?

i think http only lets you mod things if you're operating from the host server.

send it back No, HTTP clients make requests for resources only. So in that sense the HTTP protocol from a client perspective is read only.

To make changes to resources on the server the client makes requests to applications running on the server that change the data on the server at the request of the client.

In fact you can write things via HTTP, but the server process you're calling has to support it.
In other words, you'll need to have something running on the server that will accept the data and actually do the writing for you.
