Question

Answer 1

You should use the openStream method of the url class.

Code snippet:

InputStream in = url.openStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader());
String line = reader.readLine();

If the output is not in a readable string format, then use:

InputStream in = url.openStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[512];
int bytesRead = in.read(buffer);
