Re: J2ME, HTML and the API methods

[Dare Obasanjo <kpako@xxxxxxxxx>]

J2ME doesn't have sockets? Looking at the Sun CDC site
at http://java.sun.com/products/cdc/api.html I see
that java.net is fully included. Oh, it seems if you
use the scaled down HttpConnection class (example at
http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/articles/network/)
then you don't get POST and DELETE support.  

So an accurate version of his complaint is that he has
to use low level Socket classes to use POST and DELETE
not the higher level HttpConnection class.

THINGS TO DO IF I BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD #95
My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it's an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening up the cell for a look.
