Blackberry HttpConnection Connector.open modes

This may be a stupid question, however I've never really put much thought into the purpose of a connector mode and just used the default (READ_WRITE). What are the differences between calling Connector.open with its three different modes.

1) Connector.READ 2)开发者_StackOverflow社区 Connector.WRITE 3) Connector.READ_WRITE (Really only 1/2 since this is obviously both)

Also, what does the "Set end to end required/desired" mean. I am fairly sure I know but the documentation is hazy.

Thanks

Obviously you can not write to connection if it's opened with Connector.READ and vice versa.

There's also another point, check this: Maximum number of simultaneous connections. I remember I read somewhere that when you use Connector.READ_WRITE, then system uses 2 connection handles versus the only.

Also, what does the "Set end to end required/desired" mean.

Sorry, not sure what you mean here.

UPDATE:

Also, what does the "Set end to end required/desired" mean.

Check the API for javax.microedition.io.Connector. It was used by all developers before RIM rolled out the ConnectionFactory in API 5.0. There is an explanation about end-to-end flag:

TLS connections SSL or TLS can be set up in one of two modes:
1. Proxy mode
2. End-to-end mode

For example if u perform file operation.Connector.READ- is used to only read from file,Connector.WRITE-is used to write to file,Connector.READ_WRITE-is used read as well as write into file.
