Reading binary file from URLConnection
I'm trying to read a binary file from a URLConnection. When I test it with a text file it seems to work fine but for binary files it doesn't. I'm using the following mime-type on the server when the file is send out: application/octet-stream But so far nothing seems to work. This is the code that I use to receive the file: file = File.createTempFile( "tempfile", ".bin"); file.deleteOnExit(); URL url = new URL( "http://somedomain.com/image.gif" ); URLConnection connection = url.openConnection(); BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( connection.getInputStream() ) );
