http://site-test.com/Meetings/IC/DownloadDocument?meetingId=c21c905c-8359-4bd6-b864-844709e05754&item         


        

Answer 1

This code worked for me

public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
        java.net.URL myUr = new java.net.URL("http://path");
        System.out.println("Instantiated new URL: " + connection_url);
    }
    catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Instantiated new URL: http://path
