Make that "java.net.HttpURLConnection" (as the client).

I also mentioned this in the first post (Mozilla behaves properly), but
why does it then work when I get and close the output stream as described?

Here's the code from "loadsim" that does the sampling, just if you don't
have much other to do today! (It's not that long, actually)..

It seems to close both its output to the server, and the input from the
server..
  Extra-info: that page which sends the redirects is just a "poster-page";
this is where the browser does GETs with parameters and POSTs: it just
takes all the parameters from the browser, and then sends a "blank"
redirect to the browser. This fools the (most) browsers to not store this
as a separate history event, and you don't get that reposting stuff on
"back" and "reload" going.
