Hello Steve,

it is possible to create HTTP tunnels for other protocols with
the 3.0 API, but you will still have to implement the protocol
to be tunnelled. See

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28151

cheers,
  Roland

How about FTP through an HTTP proxy?

Thanks,

Hello Tom,

no it is not. Protocols for transferring EMail are SMTP or IMAP.
HttpClient implements HTTP.

Browsers do lots more than just HTTP, that's why most of them chose to
implement mailing functionality as well. But HttpClient is intentionally
focused on HTTP alone, which is tricky enough.

There is a standard Java API for sending EMail in J2EE:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/
You can probably get it running with J2SE as well.
It includes support for multipart mail:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/mail/package-tree.html
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/mail/Multipart.html

hope that helps,
  Roland

Can I just send a multipart post to an email server with attached files
using Httpclient?  Would this work for an email?  If so, does anyone
have an example of doing this?
