import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class readURLTest
{
public static void main (String args[])

{
try
{
URL address=null;
DataInputStream dis=null;
address=new URL("http://www/ipdevel.ro");
dis=new DataInputSream(address.openStream());

String line=dis.readLine();

while(line!=null)
{
System.out.println(line);
line=dis.readline();
}
}catch(IOException e)
{
System.out.println("Bla bla bla:"+e.getMessage());
}

}
}

or if you want an Applet sample make a class wich extends Applet make an URL use getAppletContext().showDocument(address);
where addres it is the URL like in my sample
