Hi ,
My aim is to retrieve data from a website using HttpURLConnection
I wrote this

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

public class webPractice
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{

try
{
URL yahoo = new URL(“http://www.yahoo.com/”);
URLConnection yahooConnection = (URLConnection) yahoo.openConnection();
yahooConnection.connect();
long s=yahooConnection.getDate();

System.out.println(“date”+(String)yahooConnection.getContent());
System.out.println(“Hi”);
}
catch (MalformedURLException e)

{
System.out.println(“URL Exception”);
// new URL() failed
}
catch (IOException es)
{
System.out.println(“IO Exception”);
es.printStackTrace();
// openConnection() failed
}

}

}

It is giving the exception as

java.net.UnknownHostException: http://www.yahoo.com
IO Exception
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source)
at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source)
at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source)
at sun.net.NetworkClient.doConnect(Unknown Source)

at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(Unknown Source)

at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getNewHttpClient(Unknown Source)
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect(Unknown Source)
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.connect(Unknown Source)
at webPractice.main(webPractice.java:19)

How can I retrieve the data from a website?
If do u have any working code plz show me….

Something like this maybe.

public StringBuffer getYahoo() throws IOException, MalformedURLException
{
    URL url = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");
    HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    conn.connect();
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
    StringBuffer inBuff = new StringBuffer();

    int c;
    while ((c = br.read()) != -1)
    {
        inBuff.append((char)c);
    }
    return inBuff;
}
