Getting Information from a Remote Site

  • So once you have a connection to a web server it is likely that the first thing you will want to do is get data. Getting data from a web server is as easy as opening a connection and uses a data stream to handle the flow of data between your application and the server.

  • Typically, you will read in a data file from a given URL using something like the following:

    try
      {
      Socket s = new Socket("www.extropia.com", 
                             80);
      DataInputStream d = new DataInputStream
                          (s.getInputStream());
      String line = d.readLine();
      System.out.println("line: " + line);
      
      System.out.println("" + url.openStream());
      }
    catch (IOException e)
      {
      System.out.println("Error: " + e);
      }
