Java Get An Url Content

This document discusses Java code for getting a URL and includes the code. It explains that the code takes a URL as a command line argument, and that errors like a malformed URL or incorrect file name would result in different exceptions being generated. It also provides the commands for compiling and running the Java program.

Java "Get URL" code discussion


Because this Java URL source code is well
documented, I won't add much to the description.
First, I'll point out the obvious - you'll want to put
your own URL in place of the
"http://200.210.220.1:8080/index.html" in this code.
This is just a TCP/IP address we use on our internal
LAN during testing.

Of course, instead of hard-wiring the URL into the


Java code, it would be even better to read the URL
as a command-line argument, creating the URL
object "u" with a statement like this:

u = new URL(args[0]);

(You'll want to do a little error-checking in your code


to make sure args[0] was supplied by the user.)

Another item to point out is that we typically


generated a MalformedURLException whenever
we botched the actual URL, doing things like mis-
typing "http" as "htp", for instance. On the other
hand, we generated an IOException whenever we
properly typed the URL syntax, but mis-typed a
filename.

Compiling and running the program


To compile our Java URL program (after you've
downloaded it), just type this command:

javac JavaGetUrl.java

Assuming you have the JDK installed on your


system, this program should compile without
warnings or errors. Next, run the program like this:

java JavaGetUrl
