Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I need to write a test class that sends an HTTP request to a servlet, this request needs a custom header adding to it, can this be done in java?

I haven't been able to find a way of doing this, HttpServletRequest has no addHeader() method and I've been looking at URL and HttpURLConnection class has no method to add a header (that I can tell).

Does anyone know if:

1. is it possible to add your own headers to http requests in java?
and
2. if so, what objects do I need to use?

Thanks.
