How to use cURL in Java?

Question

I am a newbie in java and wanted to use curl in java. What is my question is curl built-in in java or I have to install it from any 3rd party source to use with Java. If so,

Answer 1

Using standard java libs, I suggest looking at the HttpUrlConnection class http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html

It can handle most of what curl can do with setting up the connection. What you do with the stream is up to you.
