Reading contents of a webpage

Posted: Jan 31, 2007 4:18 AM

Hi...
I want to connect to a website using java. I tried the following code, but Iam getting an "UnknownHostException". How to overcome this problem? Is there any other way?

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.security.*;

public class URLConnectionReader
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URL yahoo = new URL("http:\\www.yahoo.com");
URLConnection yahooConnection = yahoo.openConnection();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
yahooConnection.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);

in.close();
}
}

Hi,

I tried to run the same program from my system, I am unable to connect to the outer websites (like yahoo, google etc) from my programs. But I tried to communicate to internal machines where tomcat is installed its working fine. But the only problem in ur code is "http:\\www.yahoo.com". Its incorrect, it should be "http://www.yahoo.com". Double slashes used are incorrect.

Regards,
Rajeev
