Problem in getting url.getContent()

Question

I have a problem in my hand.

I have a URL, And when i initiate the connect to this url and execute url.getContent(). The response is of type sun.net.www.protoc

Answer 1

You should use the openStream method of the url class.

Code snippet:

InputStream in = url.openStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader());
String line = reader.readLine();

If the output is not in a readable string format, then use:

InputStream in = url.openStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[512];
int bytesRead = in.read(buffer);

Answer 2

I found the answer.

The problem statement: When i execute a URL the response had another URL in it and i needed to fetch it.

Solution:

java.net.URLConnection urlconn = url.openConnection();
java.net.HttpURLConnection conn = (java.net.HttpURLConnection)urlconn;
conn.connect();
conn.getContent();

URL newurl = conn.getURL();
System.out.println(newurl.toString());

The response can be get using getContent() and. The connection object will have a delegate with the new URL. The new URL can be fetched using getURL method.
