Hi Ajay,<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what you mean by &quot;extra&quot; field, but you can certainly set headers using UrlConnection.setRequestPr<wbr />operty(). &nbsp;For example:<br />
<br />
//set the agent in the header<br />
UrlConnection.setRequestPr<wbr />operty(&quot;Us<wbr />er-Agent&quot;,<wbr /> &quot;MyAgent/v1.00&quot;);<br />
<br />
//set the &quot;from&quot; IP in the header &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;UrlConnection.setRequestPr<wbr />operty(&quot;Fr<wbr />om&quot;, IP);<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;UrlConnection.setRequestPr<wbr />operty(&quot;Ac<wbr />cept&quot;, &quot;text/html, text/plain&quot;);<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;UrlConnection.setRequestPr<wbr />operty(&quot;Ac<wbr />cept-Chars<wbr />et&quot;, &quot;iso-8859-1&quot;);<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;UrlConnection.setRequestPr<wbr />operty(&quot;Ac<wbr />cept-Langu<wbr />age&quot;, &quot;en-gb&quot;);<br />
<br />
You should read RFC1945 for more information about headers.

Hi Ajay,

I'm not sure what you mean by "extra" field, but you can certainly set headers using UrlConnection.setRequestProperty().  For example:

//set the agent in the header
UrlConnection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "MyAgent/v1.00");

//set the "from" IP in the header        UrlConnection.setRequestProperty("From", IP);
                          UrlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "text/html, text/plain");
                          UrlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "iso-8859-1");
                          UrlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "en-gb");

You should read RFC1945 for more information about headers.

What do you mean by &quot;header&quot; ?<br />
Is that data that is transfered with each &quot;message&quot;, or once per communication ?<br />

adding a header field in UrlConnection

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
