Description

Name: krT82822			Date: 05/30/99


If a POST (URL + data) request on a HTTP URLConnection times out, the URLConnection retries the request, but does not resend the data.

This Bug was reported as Bug Id 4099926 before, but was closed as duplicate of 4115928. Bug 4115928 (createImage shouldn't just return null when peer isn't created) has nothing to do with bug  4099926 though.

Please review this problem.

EVALUATION Found the problem. Indeed when HttpClient.parseHttp() retries a post after a single failure it doesn't send the "Content" of the post because it doesn't have access to it (It's only available to HttpUrlConnection).
