Opening a HDFS file in browser

问题

I am trying to open a file (present in the HDFS location: /user/input/Summary.txt) in my browser using the URL: hdfs://localhost:8020/user/input/Summary.txt but I am getting an error in my firefox browser:

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (hdfs) isn't associated with any program.

If I change the protocol from hdfs to http (which ideally should not work) then I am getting the message: It looks like you are making an HTTP request to a Hadoop IPC port. This is not the correct port for the web interface on this daemon.

This is present in the core-site.xml file:

<property>
    <name>fs.default.name</name>
    <value>hdfs://localhost:8020</value>
  </property>

Please let me know how to make this work. I am not sure whether the problem is related to firefox browser OR I am missing some configuration settings OR i am using the incorrect url.

EDIT:

When I try to access it from a java code, i get an exception: unknown protocol: hdfs.

static{
    URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(new FsUrlStreamHandlerFactory());
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
    final String url = "hdfs://localhost:8020/user/input/Summary.txt";

    InputStream is = new URL(url).openStream();

}

Please suggest how to access the hdfs protocol from java code.
