1. read the file into string
2. create httprequest object
3. add file's contents to querystring or post data
4. send!

hi buddy

that was pseudo-code. the implementation will depend on your platform.

I know you said java but, do you really mean Java OR JavaScript OR JSP?

Here's some usefull docs:

hi buddy
i am getting the concept. The links that u send were very useful.

Actually i want to send the Xml file as a parameter in the url. The links u sent were talking about sending a xml file not in url , but something like redirecting the xml to the destination server. Is it possible to send a xml file as a parameter just as we do like passing strings

Thanks

ok, so you don't want to "send an xml file",
you want to send a string which happens to be the name of an xml file.

again, similar to the methods described on the links I sent you.
Just pass the variable in the request url like this:
http://www.www.com/some-script.asp?xml=YourXmlFileName.xml
