Tataindicom Wimax Connect Jar

 If you are one of thos guys who doesn't like the above form or if you are looking for a TataIndicom Wimax connection login app or script then your search ends here. The application described here is a self executing jar which when launched reads a configuration file in the same directory as the jar and then connects to the internet. When clicked again it will logout and end the session.

 The program is simple and uses HttpClient and HttpPost classes from Apache "HttpComponents" framework and creates a HTTP session and submits the user name and password obtained from the configuration file to login. The classes were developed in DrJava and the final jar was created using Eclipse. The executable jar can be downloaded along with a sample config file. If you are interested in getting the source code you can download the ".java" files too :-). The jar has been tested on "Windows 7" and openSUSE 12.2 / GNOME 3.4 and it works in both environments.
