I'll be posting questions that I'm asked about Program 2 here. If the list gets too long, I'll pull this out into a separate page.

• Can we use the HTTPConnection class in Java?
  No. You must just use basic socket communication (send strings over the socket) to communicate with the server.

• Are we required to handle the following exceptions:
  Exception in thread "main" java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused - when asking to connect to a host and port that aren't listening
  Exception in thread "main" java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe - when the client unexpectedly dies

  No.
