Servlet - how to receive a zip file

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to code a servlet which can receive a zip file in http request?

I googled but didn't find anything. If a zip file can't be sent using http request then please suggest an alternative

I'm not asking for examples on how to upload a file using a servlet. I need to know if a file can be sent to a servlet and if yes, then how?

For instance, if a string is sent to a servlet and you use the following code to get it: String value = req.getParameter(name);

but what if a file is sent? Can this be done?

Thanks in advance

Any file can be uploaded, there's no distinction if it is a zip or text file.

Just google "servlet file upload" for many results. One example is this: How to upload files to server using JSP/Servlet?
